Slow Club - Let the Blade Do the Work lyrics

Just another town that might never recover Just another friend who's gone and lost his mind Just another sunset from the city trains We ride it free to the end of the line It's just a, just another wasted attempt Laying sideways in the harbor While all the men are out at sea You say you don't want trouble That you've left that life behind But you've got trouble here with a capital “T” [Chorus 1] It's like this every time You know it's like this every time It's always like this every time It's always like this It's always like this So looking out across the formless frontiers I scream your name down five broken valleys I paint a picture of a gla**-hearted girl with Promises too numerous to tally and In the search light that's been cheapening the midnight sky I think of you and how you had that troubled start But you never let it wash you away To a town where you didn't speak the language And if it did you'd always know what to say, say [Chorus 2] Let the blade do the work Let the blade, let the blade do the work Let the blade, let the blade do the work Let the blade, let the blade do the work For years now, all I've heard is "heave-ho" We've got two good cars down on the beach row And with a little bit of luck we a**ume I'll be going home With no blood on my hands I've got blood on my hands So laying down beneath, a pregnant pause And in the constant coverage of the wars We never hear of what's been learned It's just a thousand rocks left to un-turn And in her monument she is sleeping in her clothes tonight And waking up before the sun has a chance to rise To ride her mantra across the skies It reads pick up the wrench if it saves you too much [?] [Chorus 1] It's like this every time You know it's like this every time It's always like this every time It's always like this It's always like this
