Nik Kershaw - Cloak And Dagger Lyrics
You may never get to wander
Along the corridors of power
Where the files tell your story
Beneath the bell that keeps it's secret by the hour
We wanna know what's it's got to say.
We know what you're doing
We know what you've got
We know how you got it
But we don't talk a lot
And everything's so
Cloak and dagger
Our future in their hands
Promises of promised lands
Cloak and dagger
And what they have is mine and yours
We give you bits and pieces
To keep you happy and fat
We know the things that matter
But we don't talk about that
Mums the word
Cloak and dagger
Our future in their hands
Promises of promised lands
Cloak and dagger
Our world behind closed doors
And what they have is mine and yours
When there's still conflict and confusion
After everything they've tried
Why can't they just let go of their secrets
Cos there's no suspicion when there's nothing left to hide
There's nothing left to hide
We know that things that matter
But we're not telling you
Cos you might try to stop us
And that would never do
And everything's so
Cloak and dagger
Our future in their hands
Promises of promised lands
Cloak and dagger
Our world behind closed doors
And what they have is mine and yours

Nik Kershaw Cloak And Dagger Comments
I've been listening to The Riddle and Human Racing since 1985 and they're still 2 of my favorite albums to this day.
still loving this in 2019
This song is way ahead of it's time, Financial crash of 2008, Trump, Brexit, Iraq War, Putin, North Korea, Syria, ISIS everything is cloak & dagger!
Oh my goodness! I just had a tingling all over my body. Great piece of music. Sad it doesn't alive this days. So true and sophisticated, well played, awesome arrangements. Love it.
Quality song
May 2019 Pure Genius
Dismissed by who?
This song is talking about the people who are the REAL government and the Cabal which Nik may even be a hostage in or a willing participant, as a once huge fan I don't know for sure that he can be trusted but some artists use their songs to reach out a clue to others and remember not everything is what you perceive it or can perceive it to be at present.....
I like all of Nik's albums.
still listening this in 2018
Nik Kershaw is a massively underated guitarist either on acoustic or electric. Just listen carefully to all the axe work on this track, it's epic and more importantly tasteful as hell and serving the song. Nik is a great musician.
I like the creativity in the lyrics. I think Nik Kershaw did a really great job of writing this one.
My fav Nik's song, pure genius....
Nik has many insightful political themed songs, but to me this one is one his best. Sad to say, it reminds me of the American gov't the most.
A song about the masons?
Possibly. Sounds like it.
love the guitar solos
Still they hide behind closed doors,,,,,,,
BRAVO FOR VIDEO !! BRAVO !!
LOL. Nik knew all those years ago and tried to warn us.
Simply fantastic!
He wrote a political song here
one of the best artists ever
This has to be the best song by Nik!!!
this is fucking awesome
Nik's best song ever.
Cool tune! I have the album on vinyl. If you like this, try 'Blue Nylon' by Buggles. Very similar (although 'Blue Nylon' pre-dates this by three years or so)... \m/ (:o)
