As the city asleep
Shares its dreams and desires
Every wish that we keep

Will trace a line to other times, other places
Though the song of the proud
Howls and dies, never fall for defeat

Take a trip to reprieve
Every hour they leave
From Killermont Street


Drink a drink to before
And our memories spill

Adding on as they pour
From our Saturdays and secret sensations
Drink a drink to tonight

Whisky words tumble down in the street
With the pain that they cure
Sentimentally yours

From Killermont Street

And with collar upturned

I made it south to see
That the love I had spurned
Was just the hate in me


As the ships and the steel
Slip away to the cry of 'compete'

There's a message for us
We can get there by bus
From Killermont Street
