The Living End lyrics
Album: Roll On [2000]
| Roll On | |
|
*Note* Some of these lyrics are a little bit sketchy
but they sound alright so don't worry.
1 2 3 4!
Roll on!
Roll on!
Roll on!
Roll on!
Roll on!
Roll on!
Roll on!
Roll on!
We'll roll on
With our heads held high
Our conscience in the gutta
Our dreams up in the sky
We'll roll on
With our heads held high
Our conscience in the gutta
Our dreams up in the sky
The shipyards are deserted on the docks of Melvintown
The wealthy standing strong
They got it out to see what the Union had to say
There's too much work and not enough pay
SAY!
We'll roll on
With our heads held high
Our conscience in the gutta
Our dreams up in the sky
We'll roll on
With our heads held high
Our conscience in the gutta
Our dreams up in the sky
We're protesting peace, keep the whole thing quiet
The last thing needed is a wage field riot
'Cause they don't really care
They're always standin' there
Runnin' from the outside -
From the outside -
From the outside world (Alt: wall)
Yay!
Do you really care?
Why you standin' there?
Fearing from the outside world
Do you really care?
Why you standin' there?
Fearing from the outside world
Five weeks had passed when the union made it clear
Spirits slowly faded and the end was getting near
You see you're all expandable and when all is said and done
You'll go back to work tomorrow, meet your new replacement son
Roll on!
Roll on!
Roll on!
We'll roll on
With our heads held high
Our conscience in the gutta
Our dreams up in the sky
We'll roll on
With our heads held high
Our conscience in the gutta
Our dreams up in the sky
Roll on!
Roll on!
Roll on!
Roll on!
Roll on!
Roll on!
Roll on!
Roll on!

Living End - Pictures In The Mirror
Roll On - 2000
You know we tried to make you understand
We tried to make you realise
Her fame is down and time is up
But somehow it don’t seem enough
‘Cos the world wouldn’t listen anymore
Caught by social evil
Wasn’t streetwise after all
Was she there at all?
Pictures in the mirror, pictures she never knew
Pictures in the mirror, always reflecting you
Not such an ordinary life
Pictures in the mirror (x2)
The sun goes down
The moon appears on the horizon
The streets are bare
She walks alone

| Riot on Broadway | |
|
Living End - Riot On Broadway
Roll On - 2000
Pirate stations in the harbour
Sending a message to the wireless
A warning to all tonight
There'll be no remorse tonight
The flag is burning as we speak
So when the lights go out
You'll hear them scream and shout
Riot on Broadway
Lights out on the town
Riot on Broadway
Anger burns the city - to the ground
Secrets told and fears revealed
Peace is cheap and a smile's a steal
So the world lost it's beat
The world lost it's feet
Passed by while everyone was sleeping
So when the lights go out
You'll hear them scream and shout
Chorus
Well we won't run anymore, won't run
We won't run anymore
But we'll scream and shout
Riot! Riot!
Chorus

| Carry Me Home | |
|
Living End - Carry Me Home
He's gonna get you in the end
Then he'll be your only friend
There's nothing that'll save your soul
All you need is alcohol
Step right up and be a man (on your knees and pray)
Freedom's just another open bottle anyway
So one more round is all I need
Fill it up and let me be
It's getting late I should've known
Won't somebody carry me home?
Pick me up from my knees
Carry me home
We think you should know
It's time to go
No more to show
Yes it's time to go
6 AM it's closing time, the barman turns the lights out
I want another round so bring it on it's my shout
Don't leave me sitting here
Don't take me for a ride
Freedom's just another drink
Don't leave me hangin' dry
Step right up and be a man (on your knees and pray)
Freedom's just another open bottle anyway
So one more round is all I need
Fill it up and let me be
It's getting late I should've known
Won't somebody carry me home?
We think you should know
It's time to go
No more to show
Yes it's time to go

| Don't Shut the Gate | |
|
Living End - Don't Shut The Gate
Isolate for protection
Put a gate on detention
Gotta make separation
Easy to slide and be hypnotised
Don't shut the gate
Investigate for correction
Single out a selection
Settle all apprehension
Easy to slide and be hypnotised
Don't shut the gate
Slam, shut, shut, shut, shut, shut, shut

| Dirty Man | |
|
Living End - Dirty Man
Dirty man thinks he can get away with it
Not too bright, where's the light?
The occupant of his mind
Clean man, dirty thoughts should know better
After time he will find
That things don't work out his way
And if he were to be the public enemy
If he were to be the public enemy
And made a part of his (hey)
Made a part of his (hey)
Made a part of history
Like I was born on Saturday
Got buried on Sunday
Thought I'd never get caught
Feel like I just got married
And divorced in the one day
And it's not my fault
And it's not my fault
Now I've thrown it all away
And I have nowhere to go
Blind man, can't you see what you've become
All you made didn't pay
Now you're outside to dry
On the run, thought you could get away with it
Not too bright, where's the light?
The occupant of his mind
Like I was born on Saturday
Got buried on Sunday
Thought I'd never get caught
Feel like I just got married
And divorced in the one day
And it's not my fault
And it's not my fault
Now I've thrown it all away
And I have nowhere to go

| Blood on Your Hands | |
|
Living End - Blood On Your Hands
Call to quit, stand up to vote
Before your dreams end up in smoke
Calling you out
All of your plans will be washed away
Washed away
Life is a sin (Life is a sin)
Living to win (Living to win)
And we're all sinners after all
We don't wanna listen to what you say
We're old enough to know better
You got blood on your hands
Can you hear me?
We don't wanna listen it's a waste of time
Are you for real?
You got blood on your hands
Can we be set free?
Fighting for peace with no identity
I know I speak for those around me
Calling you out
All of your plans will be washed away
Washed away
Life is a sin (Life is a sin)
Living to win (Living to win)
And we're all sinners after all
We don't wanna listen to what you say
We're old enough to know better
You got blood on your hands
Can you hear me?
We don't wanna listen it's a waste of time
Are you for real?
You got blood on your hands
Can we be set free?
When news becomes gossip and the hounds begin to bleed
The rich man's inspiration becomes the beggar's greed
And there's no way to stop it, servicing the need
Cuz the scared cry out, they possess an everlasting grief
Life is a sin
When you're not living to win
Life is a sin living to sin
We're all sinners after all
We don't wanna listen to what you say
We're old enough to know better
You got blood on your hands
Can you hear me?
We don't wanna listen it's a waste of time
Are you for real?
You got blood on your hands
Can we be set free?

Living End - Revolution Regained
Roll On - 2000
They came in the evening
Looking for a fight
The foreign Militia
Stole away our right
Three thousand miles away
Revolution regained
(Eyes) Eyes that lie and skin that scars
No introductions
Nothing left to say
See the destruction
How could it end this way?
This way?
Chorus
And in the evening
Something is seething
(Eyes) Eyes that lie and skin that scars
Chorus
And in the evening
Something is seething
(Eyes) Eyes that lie and skin that scars
Revolution regained

| Read About It | |

Living End - Read About It
Roll On - 2000
No rest for the wicked
No mercy for the rotten
Go create some madness
More coverage than the homeless
Your image here to stay
Your photo on the cover of
Your photo can't get enough
You and I, we read about it
We idolise the criminal mind
Is there a method in our madness?
And we fantasise of committing crimes
And so we remain
You're taken by the story
No escaping from the glory
Never to be forgotten
Now you're believin' in your press
You're not going anyway
Your Photo on the cover of
Your photo can't get enough
Chorus
And so we remain
And so we became
History remains
History today

| Killing the Right | |
|
Living End - Killing The Right
Roll On - 2000
Killing the right - I don't wanna be a stolen boy
Show me the days of lying in the sun
Of stolen memories
I struggle to retain one
Seems like a phase that only just begun
A secret that was told
A reason now to run
Well the speakers start screaming - whoa
For the neighbourhood's dreaming - whoa
'Cos there is no meaning - whoa
It's not right it's a fucking outcry
Killing the right - I don't wanna be a stolen boy
It's a mistake no reason why
How did we fade from black to white
Taken away from lying in the sun
The signal's interrupted - corrupted
Are we all the same, are we all to blame
Happiness a tease, misery cemented
Well the speakers start screaming - whoa
For the neighbourhood's dreaming - whoa
'Cos there is no meaning - whoa
It's not right it's a fucking outcry
Chorus
Taxi, get me out of here
The voices tell me to be on my way
To turn and forget it for another day
But I don't want to listen to the voices any more
Chorus

| Astoria Paranoia | |
|
Living End - Astoria Paranoia
Is there something going on around me?
Is there something I should know?
The ghost of paranoia slips into my mind
And the dust it settles in
It's getting harder to remember
Just what it is I need to say
Another shadow in the memory
I'll never be the same again
So tell me where the fire is
And why is everybody running?
For all I know I could be losing my mind
And the dust it settles in
Whoa, lost inside my mind
Is there something going on around me?
Is there something I should know?
Everything just seems to vanish in the haze
And the dust it settles in
Whoa, lost inside my mind
In my head
Long to shed
Now we all are one
Whoa, lost inside my mind
Inside my mind

Living End - Uncle Harry
Roll On - 2000
Whoa
Uncle Harry pissing in the bath
Whoa, pissing in the bath
Uncle Harry pissing in the bath
Whoa, pissing in the bath again
Oh Uncle Harry you’ve done it all again
You’re pissing in the bath every now and then
I caught you in the wrong place
I caught you out of line
I tell you not to do it
But you do it all the time
Do it all the time
Whoa
Uncle Harry pissing in the bath
Whoa, pissing in the bath
Uncle Harry pissing in the bath
Whoa, pissing in the bath again
Poor Uncle Harry lost his mind along the way
Poor Uncle Harry happened twenty years today
Comes around to say hello
Little did we know
He’s up to his old dirty tricks again
Oh Uncle Harry, you’ve done it all again
Oh Uncle Harry
We really shouldn’t laugh
But every time we turn around
You’re pissing in the bath
It’s just a silly habit
And we can’t help but remind
We tell you not to do it
But you do it all the time

well we dont need no one to tell us what to do
