The Rakes Lyrics

The Rakes - All Too Human Lyrics

The distance we have come has got me pinin'
For a touch up once familiar and excitin'
And though up yonder charts we might be climbing
To do it without you is very frightenin'

More The Rakes - All Too Human Lyrics

The Rakes - Retreat Lyrics

I'm walking unknown territory, where the sun's not shining
There's nothing golden about Golden Lane
The smoke is heavy in my lungs and the adverts are working
I just can't sell for who or what I am

More The Rakes - Retreat Lyrics

The Rakes - Open Book Lyrics

You are not an open book
I can't do nothing 'bout that
But I'm worried, I'm overdrawn
What am I doing up at the witching hour?

More The Rakes - Open Book Lyrics

The Rakes - The Guilt Lyrics

This is a true story

I just woke up, everything was fucked
From the night before, I was beyond repair

More The Rakes - The Guilt Lyrics

The Rakes - We Are All Animals Lyrics

We are the animals who have lost our hair
Retained some of our teeth and gained a choice
We'll chase food, money and sex until satisfied
And when its time to rest ask, "What's next?"

More The Rakes - We Are All Animals Lyrics

The Rakes - 22 Grand Job Lyrics

22 grand job
In the city, it's alright
22 grand job
In the city, it's alright

More The Rakes - 22 Grand Job Lyrics

The Rakes - Strasbourg Lyrics

I'll meet you in West Germany
October 1983
I know that freedom was a lie
And your husband was a spy

More The Rakes - Strasbourg Lyrics

The Rakes - Binary Love Lyrics

Don't you ever pretend
That we are more than friends?
Despite the metal and wires
I still have human desires

More The Rakes - Binary Love Lyrics

The Rakes - Something Clicked And I Fell Off The Edge Lyrics

When I was younger I felt so pure
I didn't know corruption waited for me
I tried to duck, I tried to freeze
Tried to bury my head in the sand

More The Rakes - Something Clicked And I Fell Off The Edge Lyrics

The Rakes - Violent Lyrics

I suggested at a truce, you spat out some excuse
You're violent, violent
They don't like you hanging round, you're bleeding on their ruby ground
You're violent, violent

More The Rakes - Violent Lyrics
