lyrics

There hasn’t been a witch hunt for a while
I know that there’s one on the way
A hundred thousand people in a line
With one who’s got something to say
There’s no surprise
They’re scared of you
But the time to make a deal with them has passed
You can’t say that you weren’t warned
You carried on regardless for a while
But now that it’s starting to bite
There’s no surprise
They’ve turned on you

And what did you figure would happen,
When the claws came out?
Did you expect me to save you,
As I watched you drown
On your own?
You taught me all I know

You told me just enough to keep me tied
Chained like a dog at your knee
And every time you added to your lies
The truth just got harder to see
There’s no surprise, no

Cos there’s one rule for the rest and one for you
Did you expect me to save you?
Can’t believe what we’ve been blinded to
Did you expect me to save you?
Let me be convinced by your display of contrition
There’s no surprise, they’ve turned on you

And what did you figure would happen
When the claws came out?
Did you expect me to save you
As I watched you drown
On your own?
You taught me all I know, know

On your own
You taught me all I know
Except when to let go

Gorman Glasgow, UK

Dark moods with soaring vocals - fierce but fragile, harrowing but hopeful. From solitary piano and voice with delay-laden textures to sizzling guitars with anthemic hooks, Gorman are the long, silent fall through darkness AND the fiery, reverberating impact at the end. ... more
