about

A song born of the anxieties of the last few years, with its muddled thinking, its empty streets - and its regressive politics.

lyrics

Closing time, it’s closing time

Standing man in the contraflow
Headlights prowl, rumbling low
Collar turned to the thunder’s beat
In the slow lane of a grey dead-end street
Last call for lost souls
We’ll be on our way tonight
We’ll be on our way

It’s closing time, closing time

Shadow man with a bayonet
A fading ghost, the blood’s been let
The clock has stopped, the dark moon moans
The nighthawks wail and pick at bones
Last call for the last dance
We’ll be on our way tonight
We’ll be on our way

It’s closing time

Last call for lost souls
And we’ll be on our way tonight
We’ll be on our way

It’s closing time, it’s closing time
It’s closing time, it’s closing time
