The model volcano by the giant gas tank
The street corner gun-market next to the robbed bank
The poorhouse next to the uniroyal palace
A tower of riches, beside it the abyss
Sit in the gridlock under the stopped clock
Long for a new taste? suck on a breeze-block
Your brain is a doughnut, your spirits a dry cup
This place has the poison to fill them all right up
Lockdown london--
Headbutt the pebble-dash
The girl with the bit nails and fondness for blackmail
You made her a secret, now she knows she cant fail
Your weakness was known well, she earned her a bombshell
Her lifes worth of grievance now hangs from your coat-tails
The little drummer-boy sadly (though eloquent) bitches
Too old for the bluff game or overnight riches
He meets with your pen friend, they speak of your badness
And compose a duet--sounds like tarzan and callas
Ive been a victimiser and Ive been victimised
Ive been a sly betrayer who has been demonised
Ive been an instrument of all I hate
So heres to all you absent leeches--safe
Im not around to hear your pious speeches while youre...
Chorus:
Waiting for a date from the loyaliser
Waiting for a date from the loyaliser
Crying for a sign from the loyaliser
Time always on the side of the loyaliser
Into thinner air with the loyaliser
You get older, you get scared but you get no wiser
Now you must adjust your ears to the sound of trouble
Getting louder and louder and louder and louder
Forget the like-with-like, now there is only other
As the walls begin to buckle and turn into powder
Cowed figures under railway arches
Wait for the coming storm
Theyve already seen your great provider
In his true bloodthirsty human form
Time to get criminal-minded
Take any way out when you find it
And those who stay around do so because theyre blinded
No light at all when youre...chorus
Lockdown london...
Just a prison...
The Fatima Mansions were an art rock group formed in 1988 by Cathal Coughlan, a singer/keyboardist from Cork, formerly of Microdisney. The band's name came from a working-class housing estate in Rialto, Dublin, where John Roberts lived. Their sound blended art rock, post-punk and electronic music, with often introspective and poetic lyrics. Notable tracks include "The Ballad of the Fatima Mansions", "A Little Bit of Heaven" and "The Last Day of Summer".
