The Darkness Lyrics
Someday
Something kissed my lips
Someday
Something brushed my fingertips
The north winds battle in the Kaaba
And the darkness is the darkness
Somewhere
The night is on the run
With a bottle of Ouzo
And a rusty gun
The north wind is like a Spanish guitar
Soaked in petrol burning on the bar
Let the dead raise their heads
And the dying leave their beds
Ah she didn�t believe what her mama said
And she clambered out the window in the darkness
And behind you in the night a million dogs come out to fight
Cause it�s the empire that be rising, rising, rising through the night
Something
Something give me strength
I�m burning
Burning on the brink
The north wind is like cinnamon and wine
And the darkness is the darkness
Let the dead raise their heads
And the dying leave their beds
Ah she didn�t believe what her mama said
And she clambered out the window in the darkness
And behind you in the night a million dogs come out to fight
Cause it�s the empire that be rising, rising, rising through the night
Let the dead raise their heads
And the dying leave their beds
Ah she didn�t believe what her mama said
And she clambered out the window in the darkness
And behind you in the night a million dogs come out to fight
Cause it�s the empire that be rising, rising, rising through the night
Something kissed my lips
Someday
Something brushed my fingertips
The north winds battle in the Kaaba
And the darkness is the darkness
The night is on the run
With a bottle of Ouzo
And a rusty gun
The north wind is like a Spanish guitar
Soaked in petrol burning on the bar
And the dying leave their beds
Ah she didn�t believe what her mama said
And she clambered out the window in the darkness
And behind you in the night a million dogs come out to fight
Cause it�s the empire that be rising, rising, rising through the night
Something give me strength
I�m burning
Burning on the brink
The north wind is like cinnamon and wine
And the darkness is the darkness
And the dying leave their beds
Ah she didn�t believe what her mama said
And she clambered out the window in the darkness
And behind you in the night a million dogs come out to fight
Cause it�s the empire that be rising, rising, rising through the night
And the dying leave their beds
Ah she didn�t believe what her mama said
And she clambered out the window in the darkness
And behind you in the night a million dogs come out to fight
Cause it�s the empire that be rising, rising, rising through the night

Can't believe there are no comments on this song, it's their Magnum Opus. (or is that No Longer There)
It's a strange, strange song, but I have to admit the part after "rising through the night" always get me.
True, i love the 'let the dead raise their heads, and the dying leave their beds' bit:) great song. eople on itunes said it was terrible :S
It should actually be:
Something Something kissed my lips Something Something brushed my fingertips The north winds battle in the car park...
Whatever the meaning, the infamous riff was pinched from Woody Woodpecker's laugh... no doubt the influence of Ollie McGill. This is never officially discussed by the band or fans, yet is so plainly obvious!
