Soldiers

We line the streets like soldiers daily

To let them know that we ain't fading

This isn't fear, you can see it in my eyes

It's gonna stay like this, it's gonna stay like this

We line the streets like soldiers daily

To let them know that we ain't fading

This isn't fear, you can see it in my eyes

It's gonna stay like this until they realise

Eighty thousand people in a state of rowdy fever

There will never be a sequel to this evening

Singing in the rafters, in the wings and over galleys

And then after all the laughing, just a draught

From the wings and over galleys 'til I'm in a lonely alley

If a feeling from my childhood comes to me then I will rally

With all the clothes and all the rose-tinted rows that go and sully

Soak up that moment, woe is the finale

Lonely, I am sinking in and over thinking it

Looking at the goal, only slowly, it is shrinking

Hesitate, hesitate, hesitate, wait

Any day, any day (Too late)

We line the streets like soldiers daily

To let them know that we ain't fading

This isn't fear, you can see it in my eyes

It's gonna stay like this, it's gonna stay like this

We line the streets like soldiers daily

To let them know that we ain't fading

This isn't fear, you can see it in my eyes

It's gonna stay like this until they realise

The cheapest throwaway shades are my deepest stowaway aid

I'm up with the angels but keep a toe in the trade

Known these folks since I was little, but only through this ritual

It's a pity they don't know me, but what is there else than this?

Sweeping and sweeping, the speaking unceasing

From steeple to steeple, the people are shrieking

Soon we parade through the fence, absolutely Dame Judi Dench'd

And then stop, tell 'em to score and they flop

I don't think I like this, I'm only ever nervous

I'm a fighter, I'm a fighter, but tonight I'd like to flight

Hesitate, hesitate, hesitate, wait

Any day, any day (Too late)

We line the streets like soldiers daily

To let them know that we ain't fading

This isn't fear, you can see it in my eyes

It's gonna stay like this, it's gonna stay like this

We line the streets like soldiers daily

To let them know that we ain't fading

This isn't fear, you can see it in my eyes

It's gonna stay like this until they realise

The past isn't over, last minute grow

Ask me to show you, ask me to go

Or stab me in the throat

Hesitate, hesitate, hesitate, wait

Any day, any day (Too late)
