Lyrics
Find another songDown Down Down Down
The moon is a thumbprint on a dirty window
The disciples line up outside the bingo
Under a neon sign that says hope'
That flashes pink and indigo
Character collector, cheerio
You're not quite a mother-fucker
But you're a mother-love-maker
And we're not impressed by your boat shoes
And your high-vis windbreaker
You can shave you're own throat
I'm saving my skin
I dunno what costume drama you think
You're starring in
I can see right through your cocktail shaker
Move along and don't tell your friends
I'm living to my means by no ends
No story here, closed eyes and no fear
Swan-diving into the void
For a 10-bag and a half-inched breadbaker
Down Down Down Down
I'm just trying to get us to the sea
We planned a holiday years ago
I don't know if we'll last another summer indoors
We've been through a lot y'know
But we haven't seen anything together
We don't want to be here forever
We hope to leave before we're old
The days are getting shorter
And the nights are always cold
And the wind whistles bad news
Through the flapping of the flagpoles
Every day is a balancing act
Tired of living on the branch
Trying to find truth and defy fact
Like we were only born to pay bills and dig holes
But that's the way it is I'm told
We hope to leave before we're old
The days are getting shorter
And I can't be alone,
Let alone be bold
All the eyes are on me and their voices scatter like roaches
They wear their ignorance as broaches
With long and heartless sleeves
I've had enough
We've got to go
I won't be killed off screen in the snow
I want to do something before we're below
Standing on the overpass
This is where we bellow
And breath smoke
Until it hangs like a painted cloud over England
Even though
We've nothing to do
With nothing to show
We've just got to go
We've just got to go
We've just got to go
Dig!
Dig on down
Til you come out of the sky and back around
Dig son, dig the ground
You're gonna bury this mother-fucking town
And everyone that put you down
Grit and spite
Will do you right
If you can make it through the night
So dig,
Dig on down
Down Down Down Down
