Great British Mistake lyrics
Song information
Artist: The Adverts Album: Crossing The Red Sea With The Adverts
Lyrics
The great british mistake was looking for a way out Was getting complacent, not noticing The pulse was racing The mistake was fighting The change, was staying the same It couldn't adapt so it couldn't survive Something had to give The people take a downhill slide into the gloom Into the darn recesses of their minds
I swoop over your city like a bird I climb the high branches and observe Into the mouth, into the soul I cast a shadow that swallows you whole I swoop, I climb, I cling, I suck I swallow you whole
String out the drip-feed, they're losing their world They're losing their hard boys and magazine girls Advert illegal, t.v. as outlaw, motive as spell They'll see the books burn. they'll be 451 It's people against things and not against each other Out of the pre-pack, into the fear, into themselves They're the great british mistake The genie's out of the bottle, call in the magician They didn't mean to free him, devil behind them Devil in the mirror, chained to their right hands They're the great british mistake They'll have to come to terms now, they'll take it out somehow They'll blame it all on something The british mistake - when will it be over? How can they avoid it?
The great british mistake The great british mistake The great british mistake
