Avalanche 04:58
AVALANCHE When the snow falls from the mountains And the buildings they do fall Then you’ll hear the people crying We’ve had enough of it all, had enough of it all Had enough of it all, had enough of it all When i’m dancing in the moonlight Opposed to the raging sun Should i follow in my fathers footsteps Or trail like a blazing gun in the sun, in the sun, In the sun, in the sun In the sun, in the sun I light up just to see the light Then i pull this blind And i leave this world behind In a crash of thunder through the pouring rain I’ve buried myself in the snow again, In the snow again, in the snow again In the snow again As i’m walking very slowly Along life’s winding path I got one foot in the future The other foot in the past, in the path in the past On the path in the past On the path in the past On the path in the past Gonna take you off this planet! I light up just to see the light Then i pull this blind And i leave this world behind In a crash of thunder through the pouring rain I’ve buried myself in the snow again, In the snow again, in the snow again In the snow again Rise up, after falling down After, after all, after all this After all this Coming down baby

“Oi Craig, we should do some erm Strong and prays now me and you bruv Blast them out top to bottom What do you think?” “hey listen, we don’t dedicate nothing, Don’t dedicate nothing This one livicated to joe strummer, don’t dedicate nothing This one livicated to joe strummer, long live the clash, step up brother” I don’t believe what they say I can’t believe what they do I don’t believe what i see now I can’t believe it’s not true They’re putting up taxes Tearing down buildings Making you feel like you don’t belong Running in circles Running from the man, from the man, from the man who says you can ah ha Don’t dedicate nothing I got a letter today from a government building it did say It said i owed them some tax so i wrote them back in black It said you owe me some too what the fuck you gonna do? “yeah, yeah, yeah again”, what the fuck you gonna do? Chorus You gotta stay, strong & pray now X 8 “like you, its true, see me mother & me father was the reasons that i did do What i did do when i did do it, hey, i wish i never done it anymore but its done Well like a big wheel turn like two girls arms who self harm and take turns With a cigarette burn its done, and you cant travel back, stay” Chorus “Like a child ever ever learnt to walk and talk And a man who never ever used a knife and fork Like a child ever ever learnt to walk and talk And a man who never ever used a knife and fork Some people they don’t know how to pray They close there eyes and hope their problems all go away Go away, go away, go away, go away But they won’t, they can’t, they never did before” Chorus
