Christmas Lights in August ft. D L Burdon & His Questionable Intentions Lyrics

Christmas lights in august, people spitting when they talk

Demanding my attention like a teacher throwing chalk

Recent accusations and the wingspan of a dove

Your clothes still stink from other people spitting from above

Masters of the social contract try to take you home

Where everything thing you bought is on the cusp of being sold

Make them love the pieces of you they left on the floor

Not pushing you but sitting back and waiting for a fall

I never even knew there was a line

To cross and you just made me cross it twice

I never even knew there was a line

To cross and you just made me cross it twice

The kings of 'if' and "oh, whatever" just declared a war

Now calculate the average wage of those who're bound to fall

Maybe all the things they hate keep other people strong

Just ordinary people seeking shelter from the storm

I never even knew there was a line

To cross and you just made me cross it twice

I never even knew there was a line

To cross and you just made me cross it twice

This city's night time skyline looks like rows of broken teeth

Kicked out and trampled on by patent leather heels

Money flows the wrong way down a one way street

As we sit here cap in hand where need and envy meet

I never even knew there was a line

To cross and you just made me cross it twice

I never even knew there was a line

To cross and you just made me cross it twice

I never even knew that there was a line

I never even knew that there was a line
