Ben Ivimey - The Wars of Friends and Strangers Lyrics

I'm sitting in the kitchen of
The French resistance
Feels like the forties'
And the kitchen is cold
Trying to play guitar left-handed
With friends and strangers
Altogether in the room
With friends and strangers unless
I'm mistaken
No sensory diversion
Is gonna break down these walls
It's a night fight seeming everlasting
With nature's song
To a taxi ride
Through these streets abandoned
With friends and strangers
The shadows and the gloom
With friends and strangers
The silhouettes are shaking
And the conversation falls and calls
To make up some distance
Tryin' to find a hopeful place
A golden mean to lay down some thorns
From lidless eyes I'm a running
With friends and strangers
And they get a little confused
From lidless eyes go running yeah
With friends and strangers as the
Dawn decides on breaking
Jet planes are whoring up the night
Fertilise the horizon with the deadliest of bloom
From a rooftop hotel I'm looking out
As they remake
Every avenue
There's people getting off and on
Like ones and zeros
And will anybody take the call
A temporary hero
And I'm thinking about the wars of friends and strangers
Thinking about the wars of friends and strangers
Thinking about the wars of friends and strangers yeah
And we're travelling through the centre of a new dark ages
And we're travelling through the centre of a
New dark ages
It's built of shiny little digital cages
And there's a new dark ages
It's built of shiny little digital cages
