Shriekback - Fish Below The Ice (Oil And Gold) lyrics

rate me

Well the mouth is open<br />

and the noise comes out<br />

Ain't no reason for it<br />

just a need to shout<br />

It's malnutrition<br />

We could fall apart<br />

It's never delicate<br />

Just something from the iron age<br />

<br />

We shake it up<br />

And we break it down<br />

The sound of a satellite<br />

Saying get me down<br />

Yeah we shake it up<br />

And we break it down<br />

Hear the voice of America<br />

In your home town<br />

<br />

Well the film is running<br />

'til the film runs out<br />

There's no point of focus<br />

It zooms in and out<br />

It's information<br />

And it leaves no mark<br />

It's just as permanent<br />

as painting in the iron age<br />

<br />

I'm plugged in and loaded<br />

Don't forget to phone in<br />

The self destruct is holding<br />

I'm counting, I'm counting, but only to three<br />

<br />

Chorus<br />

We get it right sometimes<br />

We shine a light sometimes<br />

We see the fish below the ice sometimes<br />

Stand up and fight sometimes<br />

We get the fright sometimes<br />

How will we ever pay the price this time<br />

<br />

Yeah we shake it up<br />

And we break it down<br />

It's east European, west European<br />

It's moving so fast<br />

It goes all the way round<br />

<br />

Yeah he's on a mission from god<br />

But he don't know whose <br />

and he don't know why<br />

Says I'm not a light in the darkness<br />

More like a shadow on the lungs<br />

I'm balanced here on the edge of anger<br />

I'm standing here on an empty page<br />

Sooner or later I'll start receiving<br />

I've been standing here for days
