"The Great Escape" Lyrics:
Today could be the day you might make a change
Lock yourself indoors and plan a getaway
Take a walk outside in the heavy weather
The British summertime's just great, whatever
Join a local gang and get a cool nickname
Make your lifelong sweetheart your ball and chain
Convert your self-belief for a new religion
Or leave the TV on and make a decision when you're

Waiting for the day you're not looking for something else

Go put your last five pounds on the lottery
If you're not in it to win it, well, then you won't receive
Then maybe place all your winning on an outsider
And if it wins you'll be grinning and you can celebrate
Six months of our lives are at a red light
And there's a thousand chances to get it right
So put your in the door because it's free admission
Or leave the TV on and make a decision when you're

Waiting for the day you're not looking for something else

Break away your ties and find a new squeeze
Show a local scheme your generosity
Stand back in the shadows and be a right-hand man
Buy a brand new semi next door to the Taliban
Who knows what's around the bend
Stay up, get drunk with all your best friends
Celebrate your side to a new division
Or leave the TV on, make your own decisions
Waiting for the day you're not looking for something else

Don't let your day grow long before it comes a week
Go and make a change before the big sleep

  • great song to listen to before a Champions League match in PES 2012

  • @MagaCow

    not a lot strokes hardly invented anything new in terms of structure tone tempo whatever. I think they dont sound like the strokes because you can understand what the rifles are singing casablancas sounds very muffled but i suppose thats his style.
