My stone cold fox

Feel like going out and smashing windows
I'm smashing windows
And in a black, black hole, deeper than death
I would wait for you there, just give me the breath, to say it
Back together
Lisbon was written by Wolf Alice & Theo Ellis & Joff Oddie & Joel Amey & Ellie Rowsell.
Lisbon was produced by Mike Crossey.
Wolf Alice released Lisbon on Mon Jun 22 2015.
In an interview at NOS Alive festival in 2018, when asked who had written the lyrics in Lisbon, guitarist Joff Oddie says, “I actually wrote most of that one, but Ellie gave us a hand fine tuning some bits and bobs… It’s about not really feeling very happy, to be honest.”
