Editors - Upside Down

Out of the requiem, I don't notice you
As your cheap perfume fills the air
You're more than a lightning strike, you're a figurine
Glow like a movie screen, calm like a prayer

Never give up now, never give up, just never give up
I know it ain't easy
Never give up now, never give up, just never give up
Nothing comes easy

You could be upside down
But I hang with you, oh yeah
People don't play that sound
It's not what we're into
Oh, it's not what we're into

I'm not a dream, I'm not some optimist
I can't handle this little spark
The guilt of the cocaine kiss is afire in you
Oh the things you do in the dark

Never give up now, never give up, just never give up
I know it ain't easy
Never give up now, never give up, just never give up Nothing comes easy
You could be upside down
But I hang with you, oh yeah
People don't play that sound
It's not what we're into
Oh, it's not what we're into

Editors - The Sting

Danger, we don't always hide around here
Now in here, I see my old friend disappear
In tonight, in tonight

People don't change
And I know your story so well
I know your faith, it's my favorite tale to tell

You wanted to make me believe in love
You wanted to make me believe in love
You bring the money and I will be waiting
I'm in the corner with a wasp sting in my throat
Throw the money down, you never ran this town
I'm in the corner with a wasp sting in my throat

Whisper to me, we'll want to escape
Now what have you got, what you got that's so great

You wanted to make me believe in love
You wanted the things you dream of
You bring the money and I will be waiting
I'm in the corner with a wasp sting in my throat
Throw the money down, you never ran this town
I'm in the corner with a wasp sting in my throat

I will be waiting
I will be waiting
I will be waiting
I will be waiting

Editors - Heart Attack

I couldn't look at you
Orbit my life like a satellite
Let out a battle cry
Angels are lost in the black and white

We were always meant for this
Shot through the dark, my reason to exist
Why?

My baby don’t wanna be
Near anyone when shit gets tight
Love is on fire again
Burn a cause in my arm and fight

We were always meant for this
Shot through the dark, my reason to exist
Why?

No one will love you more than I do
I can promise you that
And when your love breaks, I'm inside you
Like a heart attack
No one will love you more than I do
I can promise you that
And when your love breaks, I'm inside you
Like a heart attack

I wouldn’t answer straight
Mould my words till they sound alright
Who listens to us anyway?
My audience is you tonight

We were always meant for this
Shot through the dark, my reason to exist
Why?

No one will love you more than I do
I can promise you that
And when your love breaks, I'm inside you
Like a heart attack
No one will love you more than I do
I can promise you that
And when your love breaks, I'm inside you

When we wake at last
Did the circus come to town?
I've broken the looking glass
Dimmed every light and turned down the sound

Wherever you are now
You're making me feel
These walls are a real life
I miss you, I'm still

All this silence, all this silence
All this silence, all this silence, all this silence
When we wake at last
When we wake

When we wake at last
Now I'm catching you, I'm catching your age
This distant photograph
Only marks the page

Wherever you are now
You're making me feel
These walls are a real life
I miss you I'm still

All this silence, all this silence
All this silence, all this silence, all this silence

These walls are a real life, I miss you, I'm still

I don't wanna be wasting your time
Over and over
This is how we hide from modern life
Under the covers
You saved my soul with a drive
Don't you remember
What it was when it was what it was
It was only an ember

Cut a corner just to kickstart my mind
Shock me to feel it
This is how we make sense of our time
Waste every minute
Don't get angled in the mire
Don't you remember
What we were when we ran from the fire?
We were rolling forever

Nothing ends in the din

Is love never ending!

You kiss and you whisper

Editors - When Anger Shows

It creeps all over you like a dull ache

Think of all the things your hands could make

It pulls you to the ground like soaking wet clothes

The change in your face when anger shows

In that moment you realise that

Something you thought would always be there

Will die like everything else

These thoughts I must not think of

Dreams I can't make sense of

I need you to tell me it's OK

These thoughts I must not think of

Dreams I can't make sense of

I need you to tell me it's OK

You are a sleeping lion in your bed, I will not wake you

You're the moment love has passed, we all must learn to hate you

You're a memory from before, please don't let me forget you

You're the wolves at my door

In that moment you realise that

Something you thought would always be there

Will die like everything else

These thoughts I must not think of

Dreams I can't make sense of

I need you to tell me it's OK

These thoughts I must not think of

Dreams I can't make sense of

I need you to tell me it's OK

How can you know what things are worth

If your hands won't move to do a day's work?

Editors - Marching Orders

I can't open my mind

But there's the makings of a dreamer in you

In these desperate times

I'm walking home, walking home to you

I will fall with the rain

I will flicker with the flame, the fire

I used to write down my dreams

Now they're gone when my eyes open on you

Well, even though you fucked up

There's still the makings of a dreamer in you

I will fall with the rain

I will flicker with the flame

I will fall with the rain

I will flicker with the flame, the fire, fire

These are the marching orders

These are the rules that we break

These are the doubts we cling to

Trying to give more, trying to give more

These are the marching orders

You were waiting for an answer

It was the hardest thing to hear

So strung out eclipsed by shivers

Mollycoddled and sincere

It's a lonely life, a long and lonely life

Stay with me and

Be a ghost tonight, be a ghost tonight

But don't you be so cold

You were waiting for elation

Like you would fall out of the sky

Maybe time's the greatest healer

But baby everything will die

It's a lonely life, a long and lonely life

Stay with me and

Be a ghost tonight, be a ghost tonight

But don't you be so cold

Don't you be so cold

Don't you be so cold

Don't you be so cold

It's a lonely life, a long and lonely life

Editors - Walk the Fleet Road

A winter wind blows, in from the north,

Scratches your spine, cold like the forth.

But you're a long way from home,

Through the dark we tiptoe,

The hospital looms, as we walk fleet road.

Hold your tongue,

Swallow your venom,

You're too young,

Hold your tongue.

No push and no shove,

Spit your verbal mace,

Hate can turn to love not this for this human race,

Ohhhh!!!

Hold your tongue,

Swallow your venom,

You're too young,

Hold your tongue.

Hold your tongue, (my heart...)

Swallow your venom, (will explode)

You're too young, (as we walk...)

Hold your tongue. (...the fleet road)

Editors - No Sound But The Wind

We can never go home
We no longer have one
I'll help you carry the load
I'll carry you in my arms
The kiss of the snow
The crescent moon above us
Our blood is cold
And we're alone
But I'm alone with you

Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Help me to carry the fire
It will light our way forever

If I say shut your eyes
If I say look away
Bury your face in my shoulder
Think of a birthday
The things you put in your head
They will stay here forever
Our blood is cold
And we're alone, love
But I'm alone with you

Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Help me to carry the fire
It will light our way forever

Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Now help me to carry the fire
It will light up our way forever

If I say shut your eyes
If I say shut your eyes
Bury me in surprise
Where I say shut your eyes

Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Help me carry the fire
It will light our way forever

How do I dodge the dirty looks?

You accomplish and you destroy

If you want the end, then I'm your boy

Throw it away, let's make pretence

How can I frame the things we've said

And navigate night through a dawn to stay

People embrace the same ideas

Throw it away, let's make pretence

When the time comes
You're no longer here
Fall down to my knees
Begin my nightmare
Words spill from my drunken mouth
I just can't keep them all in
I keep up with the racing rats
And do my best to win

Slow down little one
You can't keep running away
You mustn't go outside yet
It's not your time to play
I push my hands up to the sky
Shade my eyes from the sun
As the dust settles around me
Suddenly nightime has begun

If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave
In the surface of the earth

Let's pretend we never met
Let's pretend we're on our own
We live different lives
Until our covers blown

I push my hand up to the sky
Shade my eyes from the sun
As the dust settles around me
Suddenly nightime has begun

If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave
In the surface of the earth
The surface of the earth

Come on now
You knew you were lost
But you carried on anyway
Oh come on now
You knew you had no time
But you let the day drift away

And keep you from harm", that's what you said

This is our corner of the planet
It's the straight edges we inhabit
We ignore the darkness at the door
Turn the lights out if you hear me
Stop your screaming, just speak clearly
The lonely and the righteous
I just need friends and nothing more

This old town still gets out of line
Darkness at the door to greet me
This old town still gets out of line
Darkness at the door to greet me

It's the first sign of an affliction
Familiarity of an addiction
That old friend's a welcome sight
I like it when I see him
He covers up the world we live in
Lights a firework in my pocket
Some friends are worth the fight

This old town still gets out of line
Darkness at the door to greet me
This old town still gets out of line
Darkness at the door to greet me

Never lonely, never lonely, never lonely in town
Darkness at the door to greet me
Never lonely, never lonely, never lonely in town
Darkness at the door to greet me
Never lonely, never lonely, never lonely in town
Darkness at the door to greet me
Never lonely, never lonely, never lonely in town
Darkness at the door

I must manage expectations
My idols are revelations
I hope I never meet them

This is our corner of the planet
It's the straight edges we inhabit
Just friends and nothing more
Become the darkness at the door

This old town still gets out of line
Darkness at the door to greet me
This old town still gets out of line
Darkness at the door to greet me
This old town still gets out of line

Darkness at the door to greet me
