Razorlight - Slipway Fires

Razorlight

Slipway Fires

Say what you like about Johnny Borrell, but Christ, if he isn’t one hell of a lot more fascinating than any other pop buffoon out there right now. More than one person I know who has interviewed him describes the experience of looking into his eyes as being akin to staring into Death Of A Salesman anti-hero Willy Loman’s. And that feels about right – empty, yet full of ambition and a lust...

Razorlight - Slipway Fires Lyrics

Razorlight - House Lyrics

There's a full moon over this ancient town
A clock faced the color of the sky
And every street that we walk down
Belongs to the house where my father died

More Razorlight - House Lyrics

Razorlight - You and the Rest Lyrics

You say, you're thinking of me
And you'll do it at any cost
And you say that you believe in life
Any love you've never lost

More Razorlight - You and the Rest Lyrics

Razorlight - Stinger Lyrics

I don't want to get to know you
Get too close to you though you may want me to
I've been watching you, they've been deceiving you
It gives you an excuse to take some abuse

More Razorlight - Stinger Lyrics

Razorlight - North London Trash Lyrics

I've got a flaming road to karma and a mobile phone
Was raised by the radio in a broken home
I've got a broken smile an arrogant line
I'm really no one special but I'm in my prime

More Razorlight - North London Trash Lyrics

Razorlight - Monster Boots Lyrics

If lust and longing were all we knew
And love was kissing on the roofing view
Of the office workers and their camera phones
My heart would pump to let you know

More Razorlight - Monster Boots Lyrics

Razorlight - Wire To Wire Lyrics

What is love but the strangest of feelings?
A sin you swallow for the rest of your life?
You've been looking for someone to believe in
To love you until your eyes run dry

More Razorlight - Wire To Wire Lyrics

Razorlight - Burberry Blues Eyes Lyrics

She was swinging from her handbag on the King's Road
Fresh from boarding school and double barreled shame
Now there are worms in her skin
She's razor thin, her eyes are pinned

More Razorlight - Burberry Blues Eyes Lyrics

Razorlight - Hostage of Love Lyrics

You make yourself a prisoner of me
You blind yourself so you don't have to see
You turn your life to a power above
You make yourself a hostage of love

More Razorlight - Hostage of Love Lyrics

Razorlight - 60 Thompson Lyrics

The bell boy brings you coffee
There are letters from every shore
There are flowers of the season
Heels are capsized by the door

More Razorlight - 60 Thompson Lyrics

Razorlight - Tabloid Lover Lyrics

If it is as you say and it's coming your way
Who will stop ya?
If it is what you do and it's all up to you
Don't watch your TV when you're broken up

More Razorlight - Tabloid Lover Lyrics

Razorlight - Blood For Wild Blood Lyrics

There's a stillness to the thrashing of despair
There is a calm in the rush of your stare
And I'm now beyond care
Experience being gained, we're back to back
