Lyrics The Wires Are Down - The Blue Nile

The wires are down
The wires are down
Nothing works here anymore

The road is so quiet now
The day was all blue and broken
When I held you I was strong
But I held you too long

I look at the coloured lights, yeah
Breaking the good hearts down
I shout in the dying light
I get out of shanty town

The sun going down
The cars leaving, one by one
Dusty roads and radio
Swinging so high and so low

I look at the coloured lights, yeah
Breaking the good hearts down
I shout at the dying light
I get out of shanty town

The wires are down
The wires are down
You and I don't really count
Even the wires are down

Look at the coloured lights, yeah
Breaking the good hearts down
Shout at the dying light
Get out of shanty town

Look at the wrong and right, yeah
Breaking the good hearts down
Shout in the dying light
I can't get out of shanty town,
Let's go
