A song where Jake relates an experience in a quite graphic way, things that he didn’t expect to see, and after that he has nothing else to do than deal with it.
I went out that night, it didn’t end too well, don’t do it – words he would have said to his self in the past.
[Verse 1]
One Friday night I took a pill or maybe two
Down at the car park I saw everyone I knew
And before the night had started we had planned to crash a party
Just a place that someone knew a local house belonging to a gangster's crew
And at the door they shone a light into my face
Have to admit I felt a little out of place
But I made my way inside past a thousand crazy eyes
Then a friend took me aside said everyone here has a knife
[Chorus]
I've seen it all
I've seen it all now
I swear to God
I've seen it all
Nothing shocks me anymore
After tonight
[Verse 2]
Those little doves had sent my mind and heart a-beating
To say I felt weird really doesn't need repeating
I could sense the mounting tension the atmosphere of violence
And then they took a guy out side and someone stabbed him with a knife
[Chorus]
I've seen it all
I've seen it all now
I swear to God
I've seen it all
Nothing shocks me anymore
After tonight
[Outro]
I've seen it all
I've seen it all now
I've seen it all
I've seen it all now
I swear to god
I've seen it all
Nothing shocks me any more
After tonight
I've seen the light
But not the kind I would have liked
