maverick sabre - big smoke lyrics
[chorus]
another morning in the city
another morning in the gritty, and so, and so
another young man got stabbed on the pavement
then another young man never made it to the station
tell his mother why she’s waitin’
another morning in the city
another morning in the gritty, and so, and so
did you see the smoke comin’ out of the flames here?
then they tried to take his story out the papers
they’d be dead, but no more person locked away, yeah
and so, and so it’s…
[verse 1]
still seein’ all the blood in these lies, mud in these lies
6 o’clock news doesn’t cover these crimes
cut corners and cut slice
cut the porridge with no chai
no conviction and no distinction
but too much wrong, there ain’t much right
and if we honestly look by
it’s feeling great in this blue sky
and the rain hits harder today
i see us gone from the front page to the ten page
back to where no one relates to the pain
no one relates to the pain
[pre-chorus]
does anyone ever remember the flame?
remember the flames?
[chorus]
another morning in the city
another morning in the gritty, and so, and so
another young man got stabbed on the pavement
then another young man never made it to the station
tell his mother why she’s waitin’
another morning in the city
another morning in the gritty, and so, and so
did you see the smoke comin’ out of the flames here?
then they tried to take his story out the papers
they’d be dead, but no more person locked away, yeah
and so, and so it’s…
[verse 2]
where did all the care go? where’s our halo?
disillusioned kids on the main road
on harder, then on light
bl–dy martyrs and blue lives
did you see on the timeline?
no electric and no light
hold tight now ’cause it’s a cold night
we’re on the pipe now
and if you don’t like, they tell us pipe down, see
i keep dreaming of better days, dreamin’ of better ways
when we can trust anyone with no worry, can just go away
but for now i’m just sittin’ on the chain, watchin’ everybody’s face
pointing to the floor for another day
[pre-chorus]
and can they even see the flames?
and can they even see the flames?
and can they even see the flames?
flames, so
so, and so
[chorus]
another morning in the city
another morning in the gritty, and so, and so
another young man got stabbed on the pavement
then another young man never made it to the station
tell his mother why she’s waitin’
another morning in the city
another morning in the gritty, and so, and so
did you see the smoke comin’ out of the flames here?
then they tried to take his story out the papers
they’d be dead, but no more person locked away, yeah
and so, and so it’s…
