Roads Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh
Can't anybody see
We've got a war to fight
Never find our way
Regardless of what they say
[Chorus]
How can it feel this wrong?
From this moment
How can it feel this wrong?
[Verse 2]
Storm in the morning light
I feel, no more can I say
Frozen to myself
I got nobody on my side
And surely that ain't right
Surely that ain't right
[Verse 1]
Oh
Can't anybody see
We've got a war to fight
Never find our way
Regardless of what they say
[Chorus]
How can it feel this wrong?
From this moment
How can it feel this wrong?
[Chorus]
How can it feel this wrong?
From this moment
How can it feel this wrong?
[Verse 1]
Oh
Can't anybody see
We've got a war to fight
Never find our way
Regardless of what they say
[Chorus]
How can it feel this wrong?
From this moment
How can it feel this wrong?

What did Portishead say about "Roads"?
Barrow: It was kind of based on when the little girl gets shot in Assault on Precinct 13 by the ice cream van, and there’s a theme that goes with it. It’s a Fender Rhodes keyboard, and it’s really wicked.
Utley: That’s John Carpenter. He was like super switched on to just emotion and not any musica...
