"The End Of The Pier" lyrics
"The End Of The Pier"
Eventually when the season changes, the piers close and the crowd disappear
You realise the tattoo of love was just a transfer that washes off with tears
Like all the great mirages it's gone before you've blinked
The promenade palm trees are plastic, the amusements are a cardboard movie set
The drop of death doesn't mean you must be dying, nobody dies
It's a kaleidoscope daydream, the whole thing
"Come in! Lose yourself in its penny arcades!"
The mystery house is the hall of illusion
It is summer and the promenade is blooming
The golden age has just begun, soon it will be gone...

I am drifting like ice on the sea
With a troubled mind
I am in decline
And the sun won't shine on me
We had love that I thought was forever
But it travelled 180°...
Everything Everything - "Supernormal" Just cram it into every pore
(A skin that blisters in the sun)
The dislocation of the jaw
(A stomach lining in the bin)
A wall of muscle under glass

Slapping the lever...
The Horrors - "Whiplash" Oh, yeah
I wanna live like an animal
Take the whip like an animal
I wanna feel you rise up
Oh, yeah
Make me live like a ricochet
Like an engine, run away
I wanna raise you high up
I wanna feel your...
