Album Review: White Lies - Ritual (Fiction)
They've got the requisite moves and style - and even catchy songs - but the gloomy trio's second strikes a little hollow
On the surface, there was nothing gravely wrong with White Lies ’ 2009 debut, ‘ To Lose My Life ’. In fact, we’d wager that a sizable minority of those who sent it to the top of the charts two years ago would happily have it canonised as a gloom-rock masterpiece on a par with The Cure ’s ‘ Pornography ’ or Interpol ’s ‘ Turn On The Bright Lights ’. To my ears,...

White Lies - Ritual Lyrics
White Lies - Is Love Lyrics
She stares into the mirror
Youth fading with the sun
The hollows in her face
Like wishing wells
White Lies - Strangers Lyrics
I pressed my ear to your chest
And heard something personal
A whisper that knew my name
Is this how your heart treats all strangers
White Lies - Bigger Than Us Lyrics
You took the tunnel route home
You've never taken that way with me before
Did you feel the need for change?
Apologies on your fingernails
White Lies - Peace & Quiet Lyrics
After the red ants
The black-out comes peace and quiet
Those little footprints
Fleshed out calm in my mind
White Lies - Streetlights Lyrics
Hold tight for heartbreak
Buckle up for loneliness
Right time to get away
Where I'm going, I couldn't care
White Lies - Holy Ghost Lyrics
You were writhing on the floor
Like a moth in molasses
Whoever taught you
To move your body like that?
White Lies - Turn the Bells Lyrics
The market-place has nothing to sell
Left alone it's awnings shiver
Wind whistles through the wood
Fish teeth snapping in a river
White Lies - Power & The Glory Lyrics
What if I were to disobey
Give you back the power
Would I be punished like a child?
And left on my own
White Lies - Bad Love Lyrics
I was waiting in the back-seat of the car
When I knew I'd given up
Down one of the back-streets by the park
So sick of the taste of blood
White Lies - Come Down Lyrics
Felt love last night
For the first time in a long time
Feels like coming home to stay
Like falling in the sea
