The Matches - Wake The Sun

Third track on the Matches' 3rd album "A Band in Hope"


the album art's clever. A/Band/in Hope (Abandon Hope)


Lyrics:
Every dawn gets its day like
Every frown gets her way like
Every step to the daylight keeps you stumbling on
Every backward blackbird
Standing out through the rafters
So sure he can meet her
Thinks he bears a tone
So wake up, wake up, wake the sun

Wake up, wake up, wake the sun
Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain
Wake up, wake up, wake the sun
Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain
Wait for, wait for the first train

Man dragging a sheep skin
Preaching reeking of weekend
To the siren speaking tongues of kingdom come
Every dawn gets its day like
Every gal gets her way like
Every step that I lay down brings me where I'm from
To lay down, lay down, to lay my cross

Wake up, wake up, wake the sun
Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain
Wake up, wake up, wake the sun
Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain
Wait for, wait for the first train

Oh oh, ohhh
Oh oh, ohhh that train

Wake up, wake up, wake the sun
Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain
Wait for, wait for the first train

Who hired the walls of the station
To arrest my imagination
Profit from my place under the callous thumb
Every dawn gets its day like
Man, they blindly parade like
Every step that we weigh down plays out like a drum
To wake up, shake up, to wake the sun

Wake up, wake up, wake the sun
Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain
Wake up, wake up, wake the sun
Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain
Wait for, wait for the first train

for some reason, this song makes me feel happier....is that wierd? :O

[kyrakyramyra]

This is an amazing song- please don't be one of those assholes who only likes a band's old stuff. You should either try to accept that people grow and change- or move on and find some band that's going to play the exact same stuff for 20 years.

@FJT1983 Sacre Bleu! American swine!

[FJT1983]

Old as in earlier time, you person who is full of retarded band names. Do you need clarification on retarded band names as well? You swine.

[SoAndZu]

@FJT1983 What do you mean by old stuff? Decomposer old? E. Vahn Dahl Killed the Locals Old? The reggae punk they used to do in California old?

The person who disliked this song must hate the sun..
