lyrics

OVERWEIGHT OFFICE WORKER SWEATING ON THE TRAIN COFFEE AND CIGARETTES COURSING THROUGH HIS VEINS ANGRY AND AGGRESSIVE ON THE CENTRAL LINE THE HAIR TRANSPLANT CLEARLY ISN'T WORKING
THE WOMAN LEANING AGAINST THE DOORS REMINDS ME OF THE FIRST GIRL I EVER KISSED ONE SUMMER ON THE ESTATE WHERE I GREW UP I GUESS SHE WAS ABOUT A YEAR OLDER TOWERED ABOVE ME LIKE SOME KIND OF PRAYING MANTIS
I FELL ASLEEP ON THIS TRAIN LAST NIGHT ON MY WAY HOME FROM AFTER WORK DRINKS I DIDN'T NEED JOLTED TO LIFE TWO STOPS FROM HOME AND REMEMBERED HOW WE USED TO RIDE THIS TRAIN TOGETHER
I READ A STORY IN THE PAPER ABOUT AN OLD WOMAN WHO’D GIVEN UP ON LIFE SHE COULDN’T LIVE WITH NEW TECHNOLOGY THE WORLD SHE KNEW WAS NOW LONG DEAD SO SHE TRAVELLED TO SWITZERLAND TO END HER LIFE
I HEARD THAT BACK IN THE DAY YOU COULD LEAVE YOUR FRONT DOOR OPEN APPARENTLY THE CRIMINALS NEVER STOLE FROM THEIR OWN BUT DURING THE BLITZ WHEN THE BOMBS WERE DROPPING FRANKIE FRAZIER WAS RANSACKING YOUR HOME
WE ARE IN THE SIXTH EXTINCTION
DOES NEW TECHNOLOGY GET YOU DOWN?
EAST END MYTHOLOGY WEAR YOU OUT?
ARE YOU STILL AFRAID OF THE FIRST GIRL YOU KISSED?
STILL REGRETTING THOSE AFTER WORK DRINKS?
WE ARE IN THE SIXTH EXTINCTION

“Half way through Yesterday In Mourning, it begins to dawn on you that all Cross Wire’s songs are relatable on first exposure – an underlying sense of familiarity which you can’t always put your finger on leading you down darkly fascinating avenues” - Louder Than War
