He climbed into the belly of the great white bear
It's very sticky and it smells a little fishy
But no one will look for him there
He took a moment to pick his thoughts and make them clear

Oh, what a day it's been
Oh, what a terrible state he's in
Oh, what a day it's been
Oh, what a terrible state he's in

Her eyes are wired there's a hat over her thick black hair
They're racing through the snow
Their sweaty hands keep slipping
But they're almost there
Her father's shotgun ringing out now through the cold night air

Oh, what a fix they're in
Oh, what a terrible sin
Oh, what a fix they're in
Oh, what a terrible sinister game

The hunter did play
To give them the hope
That they could get away
When biding his time
He did wait down the line
To bring a disaster
On their youthful dreams of escape

Oh, what a day its been
Oh, what a day its been

Run! there's a bullet in your back
Run! Run! there's a bullet in your back
Run! Run! Run! there's a bullet in your back
But I wouldn't take it back
Run! Run! Run! there's a bullet in your back
But I wouldn't take it back
Run! Run! Run! there's a bullet in your back
But I wouldn't take it back, I wouldn't take it back
Run! Run! Run! there's a bullet in your back
and I want to take it back

I want to, want to
I want to, want you
I want you, want you
I want you, want you, want you, want you
Back

"The next big thing?" Lovely song, but they sound and look like the last big thing.

I don't know if you guys are aware that their name had to change (I live here in South Africa with them). They used to be called Harris Tweed you should look up their older work it's also awesome, I uploaded a video of this I recorded at an Easter Oppikoppi Festival a few years ago. This is definitely the SA band the closest to my heart I really love them!
