All Due Restraint Lyrics

Lost a pound of flesh in suicidal dreams Drugged up on a London city street I awoke without a name in Hell Found Scylla and Charybdis
An empty train awaits Now I’m headed northwest To the beautiful Manchester Sunset And now I’m going home But where is home?
Synthesized again Yeah I’m flying high Ropes are bound and my chest is tied In the underground world of Chelsea This is where we feel love, find life, kill time This is where our pessimism comes to die Here you can trade your flesh for currency
All due restraint take a picture With all my restraint It’s my picture
Come with me to the other side Come dance with me in the dead of night You say you want to live in the darkness? I’ll set you free It’s a long road to hell and back

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.

This is such an amazing song. Definitely one of the best off Noir...and maybe even one of the best of Williams Control's short (so far) career... A beautiful, dark, "noir" yarn spun in song. What's not to love?

Fixed.

Lost a pound of flesh in suicidal dreams Drugged up on a London city street I awoke without a name in Hell Found Scylla and Charybdis

An empty train awaits Now I'm headed northwest To the beautiful Manchester Sunset And now I'm going home But where is home?

Synthesized again Yeah, I'm flying high Ropes are bound and my chest is tied In the underground world of Chelsea

This is where we feel love, find life, kill time This is where our pessimism comes to die Here you can trade your flesh for currency

All due restraint Take a picture With all my restraint It's my picture

Come with me to the other side Come dance with me in the dead of night (You say you want to live in the darkness?) (I'll set you free) It's a long road to hell and back

Come with me to the other side Come dance with me tonight You say you want to live in the darkness? (I'll set you free) It's a long road to hell
