Lyrics & Music: Big Country
The lyrics included in the liner notes for “
The Crossing
” and the subsequent re-releases say ‘kiss’ instead of ‘meet’. While present in a very early demo vrsion, no released version of Inwards says ‘kiss’.
Also performed by
The Casbah Club (v2)
in concert
I wouldn’t want to go home
On a night like this
When I find out that some of the past
Has been missed
And the light in the window
Has burnt it’s fuse
I pull everything inward
But everything’s loose
Everything inwards but everything’s loose
Everything inwards but everything’s loose
I wouldn’t want to stay out
With news like this
All the engines too loud
All the pavements hiss
How the scouts in the stairwell
Will meet
*
again
Pull everything inwards
But everything’s shame
Everything inwards but everything’s loose
Everything inwards but everything’s loose
I wouldn’t want to stay out
With news like this
All the engines too loud
All the pavements hiss
How the scouts in the stairwell
Will meet
*
again
Pull everything inwards
But everything’s shame
I wouldn’t want to go home
On a night like this
When I find out that some of the past
Has been missed
And the light in the window
Has burnt it’s fuse
I pull everything inward
But everything’s loose
Everything inwards but everything’s loose
Everything inwards but everything’s loose
