lyrics

Take the tap water off the shelf
I think it’s time we move to the bunker
Send my love to the boys and men
They’ll need it when they head to frontline

Father said that growing up with me
Was tough I didn’t know how to act
With the boys and girls in our hometown
Our hands would touch make me feel so…

Mother cried when she saw me
In the underground wearing all of her
Please don’t walk away from me
You’re perfect oh no please don’t walk away from me

So please light a candle
For midnight and meet me out
Where our portions aren’t rationed
Our lives are not fair
And we'll scream
We'll stand up
We'll rally
The rebels will come
So please light a candle

And you are so perfect
Our lives are not fair
And oh you are so perfect
Our lives are not fair
And oh you are so perfect

Oh you are so
I’ll kiss you;
you’re beautiful
I want this to stop

With a penchant for melodramatic crescendos, The Left Behinds are a band that refuses to be pinned down. ... more
