Enemy, The - Get Blown Away Lyrics






And when she blows the candle flame to smoke
She says a prayer for all of those who live in houses and in homes
And Monday she'll go down town standing naked in the road
You may know what I am
But who I am you don't know

She'll run across the mustard dust sand
Scream down the wind
And the sea is in a cold
Like when in holiday homes
And houses like sweet confectionary
And sandcastles and drinking wine
Hungry dinners perfectly timed

And mother and father glowing young
Happy to be each other together
When she blows the candle out
She goes to bed and lies and drags through her head
The day that went way of every day
But tomorrow she'll fly a plane
Over the fields where the houses aren't built yet

She smiled sweetly across the room
Through the lunchtime smoke
And I loved her for a second
And discarded the queen and I know
How sweetness turns sour
And leaves they turn to brown
And then to earth and dust
And settle in this town
You get blown away...

She smiled sweetly across the lunchtime smoke
And I loved her for a second and discarded the queen and I know
When men are being little boys again
And women cruel stepmothers of old
And this is the invention
The adventure of my own
I get blown away...

    Well covered 🎸🎶🎤

  4. M.... P....

    OCS brought me here... it was different, but it was not as good as the original.

  5. C.... F....

    I prefer this version to the OCS original, reminds me of a Beatles song.

    C.... F....

    This is such a failed cover, (sorry). Maybe the original by OCS reminds you to "Sexy Sadie' by The Beatles which reminds Karma Police by Radiohead aswell, in a rare timeless connection.

    C.... F....

    lol no.....

  6. O.... G....

    Obviously the original is better but this cover it's not that bad, on the higher tones maybe the voice doesn't fit quite well but I like the atmosphere of the song with the back voices, the solo it's alright too, fair play for the effort because it's not an easy song to cover. Fair play to The Enemy!

  7. J.... W....

    erm... orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr you can just listen to the original.. the enemy blow goats. this is shite.

    J.... W....

    You're shite!

    J.... W....

    OCS original is great but this is on par, i like to listen to them back to back, its a really good cover

  8. G.... W....

    I honestly don't know the thinking behind this cover....I quite like the Enemy but his voice sounds shite on this, it almost sounds like he's forgot to put his teeth in before recording it. They should have dropped it a key or 2 and had a loud guitar on it and he would have sounded a lot better.

    G.... W....

    Shut the fuck up!

  9. M.... ....

    Completely murdered the original, although sound quality is poor!!

  10. g.... s....

    i prefer this to the original. probably only because im a huge enemy fan

  11. p.... p....

    hmmm.......great song, great band but doesn't beat the original

  12. j.... j....

    Just doesn't have the raw emotion like the original but it's ok

  13. m.... ....

    when great upcoming bands use your songs it shows how damn good the song is-and this tune by ocs is an all time great.

  14. 3.... ....

    beatles

  15. T.... ....

    Ocean Colour Scene are my favourite band of all time, and this really is a great cover, what a great interpretation, piano and great solo!. Hats off to The Enemy, I believe in these lads, as long as they keep on keeping on, they could one day be phenomenal!

  16. S.... L....

    absolutely amazing song!'(8)
