lyrics

SOMETHING ISN’T HAPPENING
( S k a i th / J o n e s )

His eyes are dry, his skin’s like nicotine
In lines that stretch to show where youth has been
This epitaph, in smoke has wreathed the door
You sense how much this air’s been breathed before

Something isn’t happening here
Something isn’t happening here
It ain’t like we thought that it would have been
Something isn’t happening here
Something isn’t happening
It ain’t like we thought it should have been

The Bible belt, they tighten one more hole
And crush the spirit so to save the soul
While those out on rafts, without a single oar
Watched as the new wave crashed against the shore

Chorus

But you don’t have to ask ‘Who?’
Or ‘wherefore?’ or ‘why ma?’
Cos that’s what it’s there for and this might be Weimar
Don’t give up the ghost when you give up your thanks
Cos they send in the clowns before they send in the tanks

Chorus

His eyes are dry, his skin’s like nicotine
In lines that stretch to show where youth has been
And this snag came from sitting on the fence …
