New Model Army

Poison Street

New Model Army


We were singing in the rain 
Like we invented singing 
There's a light in the sky 
From a million street lights 
And we danced all the steps 
From all those old time movies 
Rolling down the hill 
With laughint hearts 
In Poison Street the guard the gates 
With bitter, bitter tongues 
In Poison Street we'll laugh out load 
Till the shadow go melt away 

And I love you now 
Like I love you always ever 
Kissing in the dark 
Like a couple of Kids 
You gave me life 
You gave me light and thunder 
Like a blind man sees 
For the very first time 
In Poison Street we'll go cracking 
Through the walls that history made for us 
In Poison Street we'll spring the traps 
And race away 

So just a Kick 
For this dark damned city of ours 
And a kiss 
Yeah a kiss for you 
And just a drink 
A toast to the days to come 
Now Poison Street won't break us anymore 

We were singing in the rain 
Like we wrote that song 
There's a light in the sky 
From the streetlights all around 
You gave me life 
You gave me light and thunder 
Like a man makes fire 
For the very first time 
In Poison Street...
