In This Light And On This Evening

Editors are a British indie rock/post-punk revival band from Birmingham, England, composed of Tom Smith (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Chris Urbanowicz (guitar), Russell Leetch (bass) and Ed Lay (drums), who met while studying at Staffordshire University, in Stafford, England, United Kingdom during 2003. They take their inspiration from bands such as Echo &amp; The Bunnymen, R.E.M., Joy Division and Elbow. Many people cite New York band Interpol as an influence but this has been adamantly denied by the band. To date they have released 3 studio albums.

Darling, just don't put down your guns yet,
          Bm           C
If there really was a God here,
           G                D
he'd have raised a hand by now.
      C              G                D
Now darling, you'll both get old and die here,
              Bm              C
well that's quite enough for me ,
               G               D
we'll find our own way home somehow.

(REPEAT)

No sense of doubt, of what you can achieve.
Well I've found you out, I've seen the life you wish to lead.
And well it kicks like a sleep twitch!
You will choke, choke on the air you try to breathe.

It kicks like a sleep twitch!

Darling, now just don't put down your guns yet,
if there really was a God here,
he'd have raised a hand by now.
Darling, you'll both get old and die here,
well that's quite enough for me dear,
we'll find our own home somehow.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah [x4]

It kicks like a sleep twitch!

(same as intro)
When the time comes 
That you're no longer here 
Fall down to my knees 
Begin my nightmare 
Words spill from my drunken mouth 
I just can't keep'em all in 
I keep up with the racing rats
                     (repeat intro) 
And do my best to win

(same as intro)
Slow down little one 
You can't keep running away 
You mustn't go outside yet 
It's not your time to play 
Standing on the edge of your town
With the skyline in your eyes
Reaching out to gods

The sun says its goodbyes

In the surface of the earth 

(same as intro)
Let's pretend we never met 
Let's pretend we're on our own 
We live different lives 
Until our covers blown 
I push my hand up to the sky 
Shade my eyes from the sun 
As the dust settles around me 
         Am       G     D/F# Em Bm
Suddenly nightime has begun

Can I start this again?


How can we wear our smiles
With our mouths wide shut
'Cause you stopped us from singin'

I can't shake this feeling I've got
My dirty hands, have I been in the wars?
The saddest thing that I'd ever seen
Were smokers outside the hospital doors

Someone turn me around
Can I start this again?
Now someone turn us around
Can we start this again?

It ends with the lights out
G             C

Bathed in our fear

Tell me nonsense

I don't want sincere
Em          G

I saw the lightning

King Creole

C F G C

C
She don't like her eggs all runny
C
She thinks crossin' her legs is funny
    F
She looks down her nose at money
    C 
She gets it on like the Easter Bunny
G      
She's my baby I'm her honey
                       C    G    C
I'm never gonna let her go
C
He ain't got laid in a month of Sundays
C
I caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies
   F
He ain't too sharp but he gets things done
C
Drinks his beer like it's oxygen
G
He's my baby
G
And I'm his honey
                    C   G   C
Never gonna let him go
             F
In spite of ourselves
                             C
We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow
             G
Against all odds
                          C
Honey, we're the big door prize
             F
We're gonna spite our noses
                 C
Right off of our faces
                                    G
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
               C     G   C
Dancin' in our eyes.
C
She thinks all my jokes are corny
C
Convict movies make her horny
    F
She likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs
C
Swears like a sailor when shaves her legs
G
She takes a lickin'
G
And keeps on tickin'
                        C   G   C
I'm never gonna let her go.
C
He's got more balls than a big brass monkey

He's a whacked out weirdo and a lovebug junkie
F
Sly as a fox and crazy as a loon
C
Payday comes and he's howlin' at the moon
G
He's my baby I don't mean maybe
                    C   G   C
Never gonna let him go

              F
In spite of ourselves
                             C
We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow
             G
Against all odds
                          C
Honey, we're the big door prize
             F
We're gonna spite our noses
                 C
Right off of our faces
                                    G
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
               C     G   C
Dancin' in our eyes.
