Ed Harcourt - Secret Society lyrics

rate me

I’ll teach you how to disappear I need a willing volunteer

Vanish into thin air leave your worries on these crowded streets

I’m moving far away from here I don’t expect to shed a tear

Like a bull to a red rag drag me out of this city that never sleeps

Oh I can’t believe I’ve lasted this long, breaking bones and wasting songs

A secret society from prying eyes and sly deceits

I changed my number don’t try to call me I’m ready to escape

I’ve often wondered if the future’s the same as my fate

Let’s turn the world on its head

Let’s turn the world on its head

Well I will not go so quietly I pledged my part in history

Stick a flag wherever I go and make my mark on the people I meet

There are those who aim to lack their strength they keep their passion at arms length

It’s such a petty price to pay when you’re wrestling with a losing streak

Oh I tried to rise above it all why bother with a fist in the wall

And all this searching for my soul has drained me to an inch of my defeat yeah

I changed my number don’t try to call me I’m ready to escape

I’ve often wondered if the future’s the same as my fate

Let’s turn the world on its head

Let’s turn the world on its head

Let’s turn the world on its head

Let’s turn the world on its head

I’m moving far away from here I don’t expect to shed a tear

Like a bull to a red rag drag me out of this city that never sleeps

I can’t believe I’ve lasted this long breaking bones and wasting songs

A secret society from prying eyes and sly deceits

I changed my number don’t try to call me I’m ready to escape

I’ve often wondered if the future’s the same as my fate

Let’s turn the world on its head

Let’s turn the world on its head

Let’s turn the world on its head

Let’s turn the world on its head
