Electric Six - Watching Evil Empires Fall Apart Lyrics
Back in the years before blood lost all its flavour
You slipped and fell but fell into my favour
But I
Chose the land between (?)
'Cos I heard they were looking for a saviour
So I focussed my attentions on the wars in the west
Drew up a battle plan and put my armies to the test
Came walking through the sands
And you were wearing that dress
Lost my answers to the boys in the mess
Dropped to my knees and began to confess...
I control the world
You controlled my heart
(Oh yes it was)
You saw that only my blood lust could tear us apart
So you raided my artillery for a tranquiliser dart
You steadied; took your aim and shot me straight in the heart
Let your tender reign over me, start
I spend the next twenty years with my head between your knees
All the while making sure you heard my cautionary pleas
There's a price on my head at which nobody would sneeze
'cos I sailed the, sailed the seven seas
Accumulating so many enemies
They would fall for me
And I would fall to you
And your the closest thing I'll ever have to Waterloo
When they write my history
Will they include all your conquests of me?
I control the world
You controlled my heart
Your light would always guide my mother in the dark
Your sight would be preserved in statues and in art
And life was easier than watching evil empires fall apart.

Such an amazing song.. accentuated when you read the lyrics along with it 💜💜💜
LOVE ME SOME DICK ...VALENTINE !!! You can totally feel Him singing in that beautifully off kilter Phil Lynott time that made Thin Lizzy so God Damn necessary in contrast to the tattooist needle precision of the rhythm section ...ELECTRIC 6 ... I will rise from My grave a hundred years from now to stab with skeletal claws , through the ear drums of cyborg critics finally getting around to celebrating their vast contribution to the world of music . Here We have Pulitzer Prize worthy poetry , a full ( yet delightfully corrupted ) Philharmonic orchestra armed with technological warfare wisdom and Punk Rock Rebellion In Its’ Heart , and a Philosophy that embraces and exposes every twitching nerve of The Human Virus plaguing this earth .
Amazing, under-appreciated song by an amazing, under-appreciated band! Yes, "Danger! High Voltage!" is cool, but there's sooooo much more!
Any album is worth checking out, but this is a personal favorite of mine. Thanks for posting!
they remind me of Roxy Music, not all their songs, just some are reminiscent of them.
Whitty, I dedicate this song to you baby. Always wanted a partner in crime, and you are indeed the best dark angel anyone could share life with.
LOVE LOVE LOVE electric six
this is one of there best
I SPENT THE NEXT 20 YEARS WITH MY HEAD BETWEEN YOUR KNEES ALL THE WHILE YOU HEARD MY CAUTIONARY PLEAS
Been listening to this song way too much.
When I've conquered the world with my robot army and am dancing with my super hot wife (who may or may not assassinate me one day) at our wedding, this song is going to play.
As Electric Six fans, you're all invited.
I already bought my plane ticket. You can't beat that summer sale!
Make sure it's with Lucifer airlines. :P
It's the only carrier that lets me sit back and relax.
Thank you
Too many people are missing out on this great band..
I had been for years.
Their best song.
Makes me think of ma past so much,in a good way and in bad ways.
fucking awesome !
I'm in love with this song.
