The Wires Are Down - The Blue Nile

The wires are down

The wires are down

Nothing works here anymore

The road is so quiet now

The day was all blue and broken

When I held you I was strong

But I held you too long

I look at the coloured lights, yeah

Breaking the good hearts down

I shout in the dying light

I get out of shanty town

The sun going down

The cars leaving, one by one

Dusty roads and radio

Swinging so high and so low

I look at the coloured lights, yeah

Breaking the good hearts down

I shout at the dying light

I get out of shanty town

The wires are down

The wires are down

You and I don’t really count

Even the wires are down

Look at the coloured lights, yeah

Breaking the good hearts down

Shout at the dying light

Get out of shanty town

Look at the wrong and right, yeah

Breaking the good hearts down

Shout in the dying light

I can’t get out of shanty town

Let’s go
