New Local Hero Lyrics

I've had a blinding afternoon

And an eye-opening evening

Or to put it in more recent terms

A miserable night

And I've spoken way too soon

You could try and get a word in

You could pull your stain glass curtain

Or you could just accept the light

Ship is going down without its captain

Ship is going down

Spring into action

Routine reaction

Leave your grace by the shoes in the hall

And now we're shouting through the laughter

You've made your beds now prove them

Step out in front of old conclusions

And pray that one runs over you

Do you think it's what I'm after?

Do you think it looks appealing?

Denim dreams and leather feelings

Soaked in razor sharp perfume

Ship is going down without its captain

Ship is going down without its captain

Ship is going down without its captain

Ship is going down

Spring into action

Routine reaction

Leave your grace by the shoes in the hall

New local hero

Boy what does he know about anything at all?

Ship is going down without its captain

Ship is going down without its captain

Ship is going down without its captain

All talk, no traction
