Blackout

British Sea Power

Welcoming the cool rain in of the astounding dawn

Watch the birds hovering over Narrow Moor

In deeper lines of deeper sleep, into the Tumuli

All the pretty machinery under the sky

For you have drunk all your beer go drown your empty selves

For then you will have lost it all the last of this Island



As you Blackout

Blackout again

My love



So bring it down, let it fall, into a drizzling bliss

Then we'll hyperventilate in the old forest

Then I will see all those things, things that can not be seen

For you have drunk all your beer, go drown your empty selves

For then you will have lost it all, the last of this island



As you Blackout

Blackout again

My love

Blackout again

My love.................
