Up Against It Lyrics

    News in this city
    Breaks without pity
    Long after the war has ended
    We're still in fatigues

    Up against it
    The higher you fly, the further you fall
    Up against it
    Wondering why we fought after all

    Such a cold winter
    With scenes as slow as Pinter
    Synchronize your watches
    There's still time to kill

    Up against it (Come up against it, ooh)
    Drinking this swill to sweeten the pill
    Up against it (Come up against it, ooh)
    The more that it hurts, the less that it works

    Wrapped in nostalgia to queue for a show
    Back to Trafalgar, one kiss, then I'll go

    So deep in quicklime
    The bones of an old crime
    I knew a man who raked them over
    He's still suffering

    Up against it (Come up against it, ooh)
    Buried so deep it gives me the creeps

    Up against it (Come up against it, ooh)
    The longer you hate, the more that it grates
    Up against it (Come up against it, ooh)
    Look left, then right, so run for your life

    (Come up against it now)
    (Really come up against it, ooh) (Ooh ooh ooh)
    (Come up against it now)
    (Really come up against it, ooh) (Ooh ooooh)
    (Come up against it now)
    (Really come up against it, ooh) (Ooh ooh ooh)
    (Come up against it now)
    (Really come up against it, ooh) (Ooh ooooh)
    (Come up against it now)
    (Really come up against it, ooh) (Oooooh)
    (Come up against it now)
    (Really come up against it, ooh)
    (Ooh ooh ooh)

    Up against it
    The more that it hurts, the less that it works

    (Oooh - oooh - oooh - oooh - oooh ...)
