Come On Hard Lyrics
Can we take this hell away to soul
I figured all this time by now we'd grown
Can you wake up suddenly feeling pleased
Been walking all this time while down on your knees
Staring at the starlight
I can smell those brackish waters
I swear I've had this feeling here before
Come on hard at night I pine for you and no other
I promise I won't hurt you anymore
Poor us, frail as they come
And thinking all this time I'm right and I'm not
I cannot help myself and I know it's not your fault
I was certain then but now I don't know
Staring at the starlight
I can smell those brackish waters
I swear I've had this feeling here before
Come on hard at night I cry for you and all the others
I promise I won't hurt them anymore
(Hey!)
(I promise I won't hurt you anymore)
(I promise I won't hurt you anymore)
Staring at the starlight
(I promise I won't hurt you anymore)
I can smell those brackish waters
(I promise I won't hurt you anymore)
I swear I've had this feeling here before
Come on hard at night I cry for you and all the others
I promise I won't hurt them anymore
Staring at the starlight
I can smell those brackish waters
I swear I've had this feeling here before
(Before)
Come on hard at night I cry for you and no other
I promise I won't hurt you anymore
Well I promise I won't hurt you anymore
I figured all this time by now we'd grown
Can you wake up suddenly feeling pleased
Been walking all this time while down on your knees
I can smell those brackish waters
I swear I've had this feeling here before
Come on hard at night I pine for you and no other
I promise I won't hurt you anymore
And thinking all this time I'm right and I'm not
I cannot help myself and I know it's not your fault
I was certain then but now I don't know
I can smell those brackish waters
I swear I've had this feeling here before
Come on hard at night I cry for you and all the others
I promise I won't hurt them anymore
(Hey!)
(I promise I won't hurt you anymore)
Staring at the starlight
(I promise I won't hurt you anymore)
I can smell those brackish waters
(I promise I won't hurt you anymore)
I swear I've had this feeling here before
Come on hard at night I cry for you and all the others
I promise I won't hurt them anymore
I can smell those brackish waters
I swear I've had this feeling here before
(Before)
Come on hard at night I cry for you and no other
I promise I won't hurt you anymore
Well I promise I won't hurt you anymore

I believe this is symbolizing an apology to GB's fans after the hiatus(i promise i won't hurt you anymore). Some fans have moved on and GB has to find new fans in a generation that mistakes pageantry for music.
GB has to prove themselves all over again (i swear i've had this feeling here before).
"Staring at the starlight" means reliving memories.
"Brackish waters" means fame and fanfare.
Great song on a great album
They played this live and it sounded really good. I think it's their best song since their reunion.
