lyrics

This ain't no warm embrace it's cold surrender
To the scarecrows and the bogeymen and the pretenders
I'm not feeling it like you do I'm not feeling it at all
So why are you pushing us against the wall?
Your numbers are swollen like a vein
You're swinging the polls to the right again

The island has let slip cast adrift
Its tossed in a sickening orbit
We don't recognise our homes and its cutting up our bones
So farewell to life beyond the cliffs
Stuck in a sickening orbit
Goodnight my love
Take me to the airport Europa
Take me to the airport Europa
Take me to the airport Europa
Take me into the air

This ain't no warm embrace it's cold surrender
