News in this city Breaks without pity Long after the war has ended We re still in fatigues Up against it The higher you fly
the further you fall Up against it Wondering why we fought after all Such a cold winter With scenes as slow as Pinter Synchronize your watches There s still time to kill Up against it (Come up against it
ooh) Drinking this swill to sweeten the pill Up against it (Come up against it
ooh) The more that it hurts
the less that it works Wrapped in nostalgia to queue for a show Back to Trafalgar
one kiss
then I ll go So deep in quicklime The bones of an old crime I knew a man who raked them over He s still suffering Up against it (Come up against it
ooh) Buried so deep it gives me the creeps Up against it (Come up against it
ooh) The longer you hate
the more that it grates Up against it (Come up against it
ooh) Look left
then right
so run for your life (Come up against it now) (Really come up against it
ooh) (Ooh ooh ooh) (Come up against it now) (Really come up against it
ooh) (Ooh ooooh) (Come up against it now) (Really come up against it
ooh) (Ooh ooh ooh) (Come up against it now) (Really come up against it
ooh) (Ooh ooooh) (Come up against it now) (Really come up against it
ooh) (Oooooh) (Come up against it now) (Really come up against it
ooh) (Ooh ooh ooh) Up against it The more that it hurts
the less that it works (Oooh - oooh - oooh - oooh - oooh
)
