Saint Saviour Square Lyrics

No sense of pride
no time to care
no problem solved
and no lesson learned
Saint Saviour Square
and no one I know should live there
and no one I know dare not care
no danger of work
no work to be found
no real incentive
to pull this place down

Saint Saviour Square
and no one I know should live there
and no one I know dare not care
should live there and no one I know
dare not care and no one I know
and no one I know

Idle gaze of us all
we are so far removed
this distance created
is one we all use

Saint Saviour Square
and no one I know should live there
and no one I know dare not care
should live there and no one I know
dare not care should live there
and no one I know dare not

The world knows no shame
as we all walk away
no hope is inspired
no progress is made

Saint Saviour Square
and no one I know should live there
and no one I know dare not care
should live there and no one I know
dare not care and no one
and no one I know

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Saint Saviour Square lyrics by China Crisis

From Wikipedia - Gary Daly recalls that:

''I would walk into town most days and hook up with everyone at rehearsals.The walk took me thru a relatively new housing estate, which had fallen prey to horrible neglect. I think with me just becoming a father for the first time shaped my thoughts and helped fashion the lyrics for St. Saviour Square”.
