Here Comes the Blackout...! - Stornoway

You’re standing on the only chair

And you’re singing to the screens and the moving stairs

All on your own in the arrivals

You heard it in the watchman’s cry

And you saw it in the bleeding evening sky

You got a Swiss army in your pocket

'Cause here comes the blackout

Now the hooded snake controls your mind

It stole your eye on the 7th of July

We’ve got to learn to love our neighbor

Before our neighbor starts scaring the love out of us

Before they frighten the love out of us

In the story of the matchstick girl

She was freezing on the streets of Petersburg

She lit a match and found a warmer world

But here comes the blackout

Now the hooded snake controls your mind

It stole your eye on the 7th of July

We’ve got to learn to love our neighbor

Before our neighbor starts scaring the love out

The hooded snake controls your mind

It stole your eye

So now we’ve got to learn to love our neighbor

Before our neighbor starts scaring the love out of us

Out of us
