ENGLISH SONS
a.k.a. ENDLESS NIGHT
One, two, three, four
Girl on the edge flippin' off the lamp
There'll be an end darling to your endless night
On the other side of the street
Yeah the light on you portrait and the light in your face
And you'll be looking for another ??? place*
Baby this side of the street
Well keep dreaming baby that your desire brings and, girl
I know the sadness that you find in things, it's true
Well baby if you can't take the heat, what can I do?
Well you and your poetry and your cuckoo world
Behind your face hide the face of a modern girl
On the other side of the street
Yeah you've got the look as if you own the world
Therefore, you go out there and say what you can earn
Baby on this side of the street
Well you're tired of everyday bringing the same and so you
Go out looking for some strange new games
Well pretty soon you don't know the score anymore
All right now
I know the danger that your desire brings
And I know the strangeness that you'll find
Wait and it will seem straighter for you and for me
Yeah
Well turn on the end and baby turn off the lamps
There'll be an end darling to your endless night
On the wrong side of the street
Yeah and everyday, well, it just brings the same
You started looking for some very strange new games
On the wrong side of the street
Well you and your desires ??? lead to confusion
Well walk away as I don't follow your illusions
And see, open your eyes and see, girl
All right
Darkness On The Edge Of Town outtake. This track is complete but suffers from a very poor mixing. It exists on Missing
Tracks Vol. 1, The Definitive Darkness Outtakes Collection, and The Way bootlegs.
* Some sources state that the untelligible word in this line is "dirty" and others say "pretty", but I'm
sure it's none of them since the word is 3 syllables and not 2. It could be "dirty deep". Your
comments are welcome and your help is appreciated.
