Lyrics

[00:00.000] The body follows me
[00:01.284] Onto the cobblestones
[00:02.701] Behind the frontline
[00:04.077] It's a ghost, it's a score
[00:05.691] For the rabbit hole
[00:07.398] Because you're all alone tonight
[00:09.300] And the police with their heads down
[00:11.558] They try to keep the law in the meadows
[00:15.708] Where the manicured lawns of England
[00:19.164] Barricaded in the fifties
[00:22.108] Wake up to the blackbird
[00:24.085] The radio and the bacon
[00:28.725] The houses of joy and disappointment
[00:33.460] Of the Windrush
[00:35.012] Street sweepers leave your music
[00:38.297] On the other side of the pavement
[00:41.732] Because it sounds better over there
[00:44.792] We don't want you anymore
[00:48.245] We like the bed that we've made to lie in
[00:51.270] Much better thank you
[00:57.185] I'll be the last man to leave
[01:03.599] I'll be the last man to leave
[01:07.788] Because the Offie's still open
[01:11.020] So empty those plastic bags
[01:14.506] Line up the gear all the vodka and ice
[01:17.276] I'll be the last man
[01:23.044] I'll be the last man to leave
[01:29.556] I'll be climbing back out of the rabbit hole
[01:33.688] Because I've taken my medicine
[01:37.350] It was bitter and it burned the back of my throat
[01:40.927] And now I'm losing control
[01:42.973] The ability to speak
[01:44.621] Don't leave me now
[01:46.437] Don't leave me now
[01:47.453] I'm pacing up and down the kitchen
[01:50.686] Don't leave me now
[01:52.332] Don't leave me now
[01:53.456] I'm taking it personally
[01:57.181] I've got to rewrite
[01:59.948] The story that they flaunted around and hoiked us all
[02:06.221] I was just getting on with my business
[02:15.286] I'll be the last man to leave
[02:21.718] I was the last man to leave
[02:26.454] And now I've gone away - what will you do?
