lyrics

Well you really got me, on the ledge again
Just to sit and wonder, where the side streets end
But there is no reason to fight or defend
No one is that eager, to sit in this pen

But you gotta wonder, when the time is right
If this broken feeling, will last all night
Or drift away into the morning light
It may pass for hunger, but we know it’s fright

And when you come down on a lazy afternoon
And see that sundial point its finger at you
Too early to surrender, too late to refuse
Now you are the latest scandal on the evening news

Well you really got me, on the ledge again
Just to sit and wonder, where the side streets end
But there is no reason to fight or defend
No one is that eager, to sit in this pen, this pen

careful on your way out

I'm a sucker for a bass-driven band and The Black Black are certainly that !! The cool artwork and twisted lyrics add to their dark sound (which is to me is very British) and I just can't stop playing it. So glad I got the 'psychedelic brown' version when I could and they lovingly sent it to me well packed all the way to the UK from NYC. More, more, MORE !! clivemonster
