Killermont Street

As the city asleep Shares its dreams and desires Every wish that we keep Will trace a line to other times, other places Though the song of the proud Howls and dies, never fall for defeat Take a trip to reprieve Every hour they leave From Killermont Street Drink a drink to before And our memories spill Adding on as they pour From our Saturdays and secret sensations Drink a drink to tonight Whisky words tumble down in the street With the pain that they cure Sentimentally yours From Killermont Street And with collar upturned I made it south to see That the love I had spurned Was just the hate in me As the ships and the steel Slip away to the cry of 'compete' There's a message for us We can get there by bus From Killermont Street
