Blow the House Down Songtext

von Big Big Train

Came a shadow, fast behind him,
Forty years had gone by
In the twinkling of an eye
There was nothing more
Than dust and fire.
Like the past had come to greet us
Many thousands of miles away.
And the hardest thing of all
Is to face up to just where we lie
Right here and now.

Here's a reckoning
A fallen star blown into millions of little pieces.
Maybe you and I
With our backs against the wall.
You and I just dying in this strange place
Get to blow the whole house down
Tear it to the ground
Turn it all around.
She's crowned with the dead and gone.

Cold light upon the water
Trapped in flickering gleamings.
Commanding the heights of technology
As darkness falls over the harbour.

Here's a reckoning of where we are,
Did you ever feel elated baby?
Here's a summary, a fallen star
Blown into millions of little pieces.

To hold you in my arms.
And fill all the wasted hours.
In my dreams there's no time
But time with you always.

Always at her side.
Always at her dark side…
