Wall Lyrics

[Verse 1: Rou Reynolds]
I'm gonna paste you up, cover you in wallpaper
Screw shelves into you and call you a wall
That's all you are to me, trying to keep people inside
Inside your sordid little house
This is no white abode

You can have skirting board shoes
And plug sockets on your knees
I'll hang a painting on your lip
And put tinsel 'round it at Christmas

Trying to keep people inside
Inside your sordid little house
Trying to keep people inside
Inside your sordid little house

[Pre-Chorus: Rou Reynolds]
You can't keep us inside much longer, pal
We've seen the view from the window
You can't keep us inside much longer, pal
We've seen the view from the window

[Chorus: Rou Reynolds & Rory Clewlow]
It's glorious outside
(Have you seen the tide?) Have you seen the tide?
We'll sing all night!
We need cohesion

It's glorious outside
(Have you seen the tide?) Have you seen the tide?
We'll sing all night!
We need cohesion

[Verse 2]
As time keeps moving, we keep losing our rights
Freedom is not the choices between what job and what car
You can just look back into history to find corruption and mystery
And if we don't take note, we'll wake up in the same boat

Trying to keep people inside
Inside your sordid little house
Trying to keep people inside
Inside your sordid little house

[Chorus: Rou Reynolds & Rory Clewlow]
It's glorious outside
(Have you seen the tide?) Have you seen the tide?
We'll sing all night!
We need cohesion

It's glorious outside
(Have you seen the tide?) Have you seen the tide?
We'll sing all night!
We need cohesion

Have you seen the tide?
Have you seen the tide?

[Bridge: Rou Reynolds & all]
Grit your teeth then break the glass
Now sprint and don't look back
Full pelt into the dense forest

And ask him
What's your thoughts on lionising
What's your thoughts on the tensions rising
Deep in the dense forest?

[Outro: Rou Reynolds, Rory Clewlow, & (all)]
Trying to keep people inside
Inside your sordid little house
Trying to keep, keep pe-people
Inside your sordid little house

That means nothing, whoa
Trying to keep people inside, inside your sordid little house
That means nothing, whoa
Trying to keep, keep pe-people inside your sordid little house

(Whoa, oh)
That means nothing, whoa (Whoa, oh)
That means nothing, whoa (Whoa, oh)
That means nothing, whoa (Whoa, oh)
(Whoa, oh)
(Whoa)
