GALLOWS LYRICS

1. Kill The Rhythm

Kill the rhythm
Smash the beat
We're gonna party till we're dead on our feet

We don't fuck about
Say what we think
Wont stop till everyone screams

For the right only
There's a reason to be moving on the floor
For one night only
Leave your inhibitions at the door
For one night only
We ain't gonna fight no more
For one night only
We bring the party like no other before
We aren't here
To fucking fight
We just wanna party till the end of the night

We start the fires
And lose control
Burning down the stage at every fucking show

For the right only
There's a reason to be moving on the floor
For one night only
Leave your inhibitions at the door
For one night only
We ain't gonna fight no more
For one night only
We bring the party like no other before

To the rhythm
To the beat
Get Down

2. Come Friendly Bombs

Black knuckles and broken teeth
Grey days and grey streets
Same faces that same release
If this town had a name it would be defeat
So sick of waking up to white skies
Can't stand the look in everybody's eyes
They want to kick my fucking head in just to feel alive

So you wanna go?
I wanna go
So you wanna go?
Let's go

Black knuckles and broken teeth
I've got more fillings than a butchers got beef

So you wanna go?
I wanna go
So you wanna go?
Let's go

We're not the same ones
We're not the same ones you and me (no you and me we're not the same)
[x2]
If we were the same ones
I'd draw this knife across my throat and bleed it dry
[x2]

Black knuckles and broken teeth
I know your face from that early last week
About eleven I was walking home
You had a fucking army I was on my own
So sick of trouble from these hearts
Can't take the beatings in the fucking dark
Too bad this mongrel's got a bite worse than his bark

So you wanna go?
I wanna go
So you wanna go?
Let's go

Black knuckles and broken teeth
I've got more fillings than a butchers got beef

So you wanna go?
I wanna go
I wanna go
Let's go

We're not the same ones
We're not the same ones you and me (no you and me we're not the same)
[x2]
If we were the same ones
I'd draw this knife across my throat and bleed it dry
[x2]

We're not the same ones
We're not the same
We're not the same ones
We're not the same
You and me, you and me
We're not the same ones
We're not the same
You and me, you and me

3. Abandon Ship

Mayday Mayday
The captain's lost control again
The fucking ship is breaking up
We're going down in flames

Mayday Mayday
Man overboard again
The sharks have started circling
They only eat the brave

The SS Death lost everything
No one here can fucking swim
So baby, baby hold me tight
While I drown myself in you tonight
While I drown myself in you

Mayday Mayday
The ship has hit the rocks again
This isn't going to fucking work
We're heading to our graves

Mayday Mayday
Man overboard again
We're sinking in the river Stix
No one can escape

The SS Death lost everything
No one here can fucking swim
So baby, baby hold me tight
While I drown myself in you tonight
While I drown myself in you
While I drown myself in you tonight
While I drown myself in you

Ladies and Gentlemen
May I have your attention please
This is the captain of your ship
I'm sorry we depart this way
You left me broken hearted
But I never loved you anyway
No I never loved you anyway
No I never loved you anyway
No I never loved you anyway

4. In The Belly Of A Shark

So here I lie
In the belly of a shark
So fucking cold and so fucking dark
So here I lie
In the belly of a shark
And how the fuck did I get this far?

Now all I have to do
Is swim after you
Convince you to climb in too

Cut yourself first
They can smell your blood
From forty miles away
There'll be here in no time
There'll be here in no time

They can smell you bleeding motherfucker miles away, you

So here I lie
In the belly of a shark
So fucking cold and so fucking dark
So here I lie
In the belly of a shark
And how the fuck did I get this far?

I'm gonna show you
Exactly what you mean to me
I'm gonna eat every man that you see
[x2]

5. Six Years

It flew in from across the sea
A great plague of misery
A swarm of lonely nights
A dark end to her lonely life

As the waves rolled in
The sky collapsed and covered everything
The clouds burst and the red rained down
To douse all the fires of this town

He walked out a selfish man
With your heart still beating in his hands
But he could never ever break it
He just broke himself

As the waves rolled in
The sky collapsed and covered everything
The clouds burst and the red rained down
To douse all the fire in this town
And the red rained down

Don't lie to my fucking face
You can't hide a life of disgrace

My mother you've got me
And you've got my brothers as well
We'll be with you till the fucking end
To carry you across this barren hell
Every word he said was false
He never showed an ounce of remorse
Left on the only road out of our lives
His hands are burning
Now we're standing in this fucking divide
Don't you ever even worry about that
Me and the boys forever by your side
He rolled in on a pale horse
Dragged away by your lonely corpse
He left with nothing
He didn't make a sound

6. Rolling With The Punches

I'm forever dragging my fucking feet
Despite the fact that I never sleep
And everyone in my fucking band
Is telling me that I owe them again
I'm going out of my fucking mind
Trying to find the words before I run out of time
Because I'm already losing all my friends
We send our messages when arguments end

We've been rolling with the punches and by now
Most other bands would have been knocked out
Trust me we ain't staying down
We won't rest We won't rest We won't rest
Until this record's out

I don't even know how we got this far
Writing half the lyrics in the fucking car
We don't practice we just play shows
That's how we fucking rock and roll

We've been rolling with the punches and by now
Most other bands would have been knocked out
Trust me we ain't staying down
We won't rest We won't rest We won't rest
Until this record's out

I am a hypocrite
I am the concrete around our feet
And even when I push us in
I'll find a way to drag us out again

7. Last Fight For The Living Dead

[Instrumental]

8. Just Because You Sleep Next To Me Doesn't Mean You're Safe

Pour some petrol
Through your letter box
Put all my memories
In an envelope
Then set it on fire
Then send it straight to you
When you get it
The least you could do
Is choke on the smoke
And let me breathe again
I know I never want to fucking see you again

I watched you burning
With the keys in my hand
You were screaming 'fucking let me go'
As you were turning black
The crowd go wild
And they signal applause
Well done for getting this far
Don't expect an encore when you
Choke on the smoke
Let me breathe again
Because I know I never want to fucking see you again

Goodnight sweetheart
Can you hear what I say?
I broke both your legs
You broke my heart today
You're lying in this bed
With your eyes tight shut
I'm lying next to you
Thank god I just woke up

9. Will Someone Shoot That Fucking Snake

Something wicked this way comes
When i see it every night
You ain't a rockstar yet (you're dead)
You need some self-respect
You always were a fucking prick

Blackening her name
Screaming in her face
I'll fucking drown you in the rain
Will someone shoot that fucking snake

I've got a knife for you
To turn your heart from red to blue
The beating
I've got a knife for you
Engraved with the words fuck you
The bleeding

Something wicked this way comes
When i see it every night
You ain't a rockstar yet (you're dead)
You need some self-respect
You always were a fucking prick

Blackening her name
Screaming in her face
I'll fucking drown you in the rain
Will someone shoot that fucking snake

We've got a knife for you
You're fucked you can't get rescued
The pleading
We've got a knife for you
You're fucking dead when we catch you
The screaming

10. Stay Cold

Watford town has gone and fucking let us down
(Fuck you!)
We don't know the cunts who fucked us at the show
(Fuck you, you fucking cunts!)
Our shit is gone and it ain't coming back
(Fuck you!)
Five good men go broke while the rats get fat
(Fuck you, you fucking cunts!)

We don't care if you're a boxer
Or if your dad's a heavyweight
We don't even fucking measure up
But we'll fight you if that's what it will take

Someone said a grand don't come for free
Apparently it does when you're a fucking thief
Back to square one
But we won't fucking come undone
(Fuck you!)
And now we're on the prowl
This pack of wolves will hunt you down
(Fuck you, you fucking cunts!)

We don't care if you're a boxer
Or if you're dads a heavyweight
We don't even fucking measure up
But we'll fight you if that's what it will take

Someone said a grand don't come for free
I heard different at the sports academy

Don't think this time that you got away
Like every dog you'll have your fucking day
Seconds out round two
We'll set the wolf pack loose on you

11. I Promise This Won't Hurt

Take these teeth
All they do is fucking cause me grief
They ain't working for me I can't even think
When the lights go on
I grip this chair I don't feel so strong
Anything could happen it could all go wrong

All those wasted nights
All the times when I lost the fights
Are right before my fucking eyes in print
The figure on this fucking page
Has wiped the smile right off my face
Eight hundred pounds is a lot to pay when you're skint

Take these teeth
Just for a second I need some fucking relief
They're keeping me awake and I can't sleep
Can you drain the blood
I've swallowed so much I think I want to throw up

Can't you see that I've had enough
Can you drain the blood from my fucking mouth

12. Orchestra Of Wolves

My name is Casanova;
I'm basically a man.
I have the head of a wolf;
The appetite of an entire land.
This song is going out to the girls,
You're all looking fucking fine.
Baby spread those shaking legs,
Because I'm feeling fucking hungry tonight.

I like to feed on broken hearts;
There ain't no taste like lovers falling apart.

If I offer to buy you a drink,
Trust me when I say it's non-alcoholic.
You're no good to me if you can't even speak.
I don't want you passing out I want you sucking my dick.
If I offer to buy you a drink,
Trust me when I say it's non-alcoholic.
I want you to wake up and remember my name
When you're washing my cum off your fucking face.

My name is Casanova;
I'm basically a man.

The appetite of an entire land.

You're all looking well buff.
I'm sick of all this long term shit.
I just wanna fuck.

I like to feed on broken hearts;
There ain't no taste like lovers falling apart.

If I offer to buy you a drink,
Trust me when I say it's non-alcoholic.

Trust me when I say it's non-alcoholic.
I want you to wake up and remember my name
When you're washing my cum off your fucking face.


My name is Casanova;
I'm nothing but a beast.
Girl, the way you're shaking those hips
Has got me ready for a fucking feast.
This song is going out to the girls;
I want to feel your body close against mine.
Why are we wasting time with conversation,
When we can fuck for the rest of the night?

The hardest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return.
[x8 - Fade out]

13. Sick Of Feeling Sick

[Re-issue Bonus Track]

I know tonight.
That you ain't sleeping alone.
You’re telling me that you’re lonely.
But you wont answer your phone.
Its because you’re on your fucking knees.
Choking him back, while you’re struggling to breathe.
I know tonight.
That you ain't sleeping alone.
It’s fucking freezing.
In here.
So I shut my eyes
Cos I’m so sick of fucking being sick.
I know tonight
That you ain't sleeping alone
You’ll always be my queen
Tho I’m tied to an empty throne
And I’m so cold I feel like I could die
Your words are so warm
I’m being buried alive.
I know tonight.
That you ain't sleeping alone.
It’s fucking freezing.
In here
So I shut my eyes.
You ain't going anywhere
And I ain't got no place to be
So lay down here baby
And fucking lie to me
My flesh and blood are freezing up in the frost
I wanna tell you everything that I know about love
But I’m done.
I’m done
So feed me to the fucking dogs
I know tonight
That you ain't sleeping alone
You’re telling me you’re lonely
But you won’t answer your phone
It’s because you’re on your fucking knees
Choking him back while you’re struggling to breathe
I know tonight
That you ain't sleeping alone.
You ain't going anywhere
And I ain't got no place to be
So lay down here baby
And fucking lie to me
My flesh and blood are freezing up in the frost
I wanna tell you everything that I know about loss.
But I’m fucking done.

14. Black Heart Queen

[Re-issue Bonus Track]

Today my heart collapsed.
And the feeling in my stomachs like a knife in my back.
And it's too damn short for me to get a grip
and pull the fucker out before it sticks.

Today my lungs collapsed
And I'm choking on my blood which has all turned black
And everything I'm spitting out. I'm spitting out.
Just spells your name.

Why, oh why, would you use that one.
You know I never used it, cos it just ain't on.
Can you pull it out of me please
cos it really fucking hurts and Its making me dizzy
No? Well fine, then ill tell you what.
I'm gonna tell you that I love you till my breathing stops.

Today my heart collapsed
Everything was fine and now I'm ready to relapse.
I can't understand how you made it through
I'm totally fucked cos I'm falling for you..

Today my lungs collapsed
and I'm choking on my blood which has all turned black
and everything I'm spitting out
I'm spitting out.

Why would you use that one
you know I never used it cos it just ain't on.
can you pull it outta me please
cos it really fucking hurts and it's making me dizzy
No! well fine then I'll tell you what.
I'm gonna tell you that I love you till my breathing stops.

The black heart king
has met his black heart queen
forgot everything he was
for the taste of her skin
his nights no longer lonely
once he let her in
and by the orchestra of wolves
you can hear him sing….

15. Nervous Breakdown

[Re-issue Bonus Track]
[Originally by Black Flag]

I'm about to have a nervous breakdown
My head really hurts
If I don't find a way out of here
I'm gonna go berserk cause
I'm crazy and I'm hurt
Head on my shoulders
It's going... Berserk!
I hear the same old talk talk talk
The same old lines

Head on my shoulders
