New Model Army - Coming Up Lyrics






Kandy's coming home 11.45 today
I'll take the battered car and meet her down outside the gates
She says we're going back to where it all began
Now that the prices have been paid and all the penance done
I'd forgive her anything to make me feel the way she did
I'm not worried now, I'm not worried now
We're coming up in the morning air
We'll cross the bridge just when we get there

I don't care what comes any trick that fate can bring
We'll take on any cause, anybody, anything
One day I'll understand what it was all for
But I'm not looking back on thinking too much anymore
And tonight out on Black Dye Ridge
We'll pull the car to the side of the road
And watch the shooting stars and all the city spread below
We'll be cheek to cheek and all those things we missed
I'm not worried now, I'm not worried now
We're coming up in the morning air
We'll cross the bridge just when we get there

And all of the hours go by and the faces pass
Their secrets held and eyes like glass
And there's always time, there's so little time
For us to be but maybe...

And all the hours go by and I'm counting still
And I see her face and I see her smile
And there's so little time, there's so little time
For us to be but maybe
We're coming up in the morning air
We'll cross the bridge just when we get there

New Model Army Coming Up Comments
  1. R.... P....

    Highlight of my teen years, meeting NMA in Berkeley in the 80s! And they keep bringing it.🏆

  2. P.... ....

    The journey is where its at

  3. G.... P....

    Last line!

  4. G.... W....

    Top tune top band !!!!!!!

  5. w.... f....

    Yet there are plans to the planet Mars but that's not the point. Maybe Wannsee from DTH (in aleman "When See").

  6. R.... W....

    Raw Melody Men.. best album they did in my opinion... Live!

  7. m.... b....

    I checked out this band,due to a FB friends post.I ended up listening to these videos all day and night,fascinated.Not paying £25 to see them at The Electric Ballroom,but just because that is a lot of money...It was good,staying in,because I dusted for the 1st time in years.I rearranged the living room...In this video,I fancied the singer,. I love this color of masculinity.I want to hear ALL the youtube videos,and there are even MORE!!!I could go on all night.Perhaps I will have to adjust my attitude,towards £25,and start calling it cheap,or fair.Cause I am missing that gig!

  8. W.... W....

    You've already used the word trouble. You can't use it again so soon. Great chorus mind.

    W.... W....

    I think that's a writer's ' device '

    W.... W....

    @Pat or writers choice.

  9. L.... ....

    Yep sounds like New Model Army!

  10. D.... R....

    Excellent stuff, Justin!... Your old French fan Daniel alias The Joker.

  11. D.... L....

    Envoûtante chanson.. Je reprends la route !!!

  12. G.... S....

    rather boring compared to older material

  13. S.... W....

    I came across this by accident - didn't really like them in the '80s, but after this I bough 'From Here', and it's one of the best albums I've listened to! I now have to get the back catalogue...

  14. G.... N....

    2019.10.19. Budapest: Jó volt, még inkább zseniális. Köszönjük...

  30. g.... o....

    Nma. The Mish, Cure, Cult all old guys still filling venues. Not many current bands will be filling shows in 30 years time.

    g.... o....

    I would add The Waterboys to that list though they never were as big as The Cure for example they still make fantastic music and give uforgettable shows

  31. M.... T....

    Proper impassioned music. Great recording & production. Still cutting it, with meaning. Political with preaching.

    Will we ever see the Army in the States again? Saw them in Philadelphia in 1989, on the T and C tour. Thunder and Consolation was the first CD I ever bought.

    D.... B....

    Saw them in 1990, my first concert. NMA and Fields of the Nephilim - good start, I think.

  61. A.... H....

    Did you find the Geo-Cache?

    Great track! See you soon during gigs in Poland!

  66. A.... S....

    It has little bits in there from every phase of NMA.

    A cracking track

    A.... S....

    Anthony Smith
    All the best bits!

    A.... S....

    Yeah, I agree with that. Musical and lyrical references stretching all the way back to the beginning while still managing to look forward. Marvellous stuff.

  67. S.... M....

    I just got goosebumps.

  68. P.... ....

    He seems a cool fellow Justin, even if he is starting to look like my mother in law the older he gets.

    P.... ....

    Pat
    He looks much friendlier than mine!

    P.... ....

    @Janine Lowe did you delete a comment you addressed to me ??? if yr referring to what I said about face planting, all I meant was that he was walking downhill over rough terrain whilst looking at the camera instead of where he was going.

    P.... ....

    Pat
    No certainly not - totally different message I messed up then deleted. Sorry, no offence intended. All the best, Janine

    P.... ....

    Pat
    Hey Pat, this is weird! Every time I play this track on YouTube, my mother-in-law keeps texting me .....lol!

    P.... ....

    @Bright_Morning_ Star lol

  69. P.... ....

    I hope JS didn't face plant into the ground at any point filming this.

    P.... ....

    Pat
    No Pat, certainly not. It wasn't involving you. I typed a message and made a complete mess, so I cancelled it all together. The reply I made was only to join in with your funny comment. I am sorry you seem upset, and I assure you I never meant you any harm. All the best to you. Janine.

    P.... ....

    Pat
    He probably did!

    P.... ....

    @Janine Lowe Not upset at all. the net is tricky sometimes. Slaint Vie and all the best to you too.

    P.... ....

    Pat
    Thanks and every blessing to you. Sometimes I'm just too lazy to find my glasses. I can cause absolute havoc at times!

    P.... ....

    Not that you would have noticed 😅 sorry Justin

    Thirty years ago Justin's music got me through a nine week stay in a burns unit. Since then he has consistently written songs that have make me think, make me cry and make me want to climb the highest hill and shout at the world at the top of my voice.

    A.... B....

    NEVER ARRIVING

    I drove you South through the landscape that you love, all those medieval towns with the cobbled stones washed by the blood of the martyrs in the last great stand of the true believers
    The hilltop villages baking in the afternoon sun, the walls pocked with old bullet holes and the iron and the stone that broke the people’s backs all laid out for the tourists
    I’ve always considered it best never to disturb ghosts but it seems that women always want to go straight to the heart of things and, as you said, you have your reasons

    And the roads are like the lines in the palm of my hand
    Growing deeper and dividing
    And for 3am confessions the safest place that I know
    Is here between departing and arriving – but never arriving

    There was that club we used to go to way out by the park where the music was loud and the corners were dark and we’d sit in those corners like some kind of witches’ coven
    We were so young and brave, always looking for trouble, it’s easy to find it when you’re looking for trouble, we’d take on all-comers - when no more would come we’d take on each other
    So when the phone call came I wasn’t really so surprised, I set off with good intentions but soon I was lost and the signs all graffitied out and the compass needle spinning

    And the roads are like the lines in the palm of my hand
    Wearing deeper and dividing
    And for 3am confessions the safest place that I know
    Is here between departing and arriving – but never arriving

    And now I ‘ve seen the very worst that you can be
    And you’d have been witness to the same of me
    Somehow it should be easy to forgive everything that happened
    Back on the roads that stretch like the lines in the palm of my hand
    Wearing deeper and dividing
    And for cowards like me, the safest place that we know
    Is here between departing and arriving – but never arriving

    N.... ....

    Thank you so much for the lyrics :-) best band ever!

    N.... ....

    That's pure poetry. Amazing and deep like the lines of his hands.

  90. C.... Z....
