Chant No 1
Spandau Ballet Lyrics

I checked the time, it was almost time
I looked at the clock and realized that it was almost time

A curious smell, an intangible crime
I detected an unusual scent, which seemed suspicious but I couldn't put my finger on what was wrong

I'm washing my clothes, but the stain still grows
I'm trying to clean my clothes, but the mark is getting bigger instead of going away

Cover your eyes, the stain still shows
Despite trying to conceal it, the stain is still visible

I feel the gaze against my skin
I sense someone staring at me

I know this feeling is a lie
I realize that my intuition is misguided

There's a guilt within my mind
I'm struggling with feelings of culpability

I don't need this pressure on
I don't want to deal with this added stress

Oh, I should question not ignore
I need to investigate further instead of brushing aside my concerns

Songs are always buried deep
There are often deeper meanings and messages in songs

There's a lion in my arms
I'm grappling with a sense of power and aggression

Oh I should question not ignore
I shouldn't ignore warning signs and need to confront them instead

You go down, down
You descend underground

Pass the talk of town
Past the latest gossip and rumors

You go down Greek street
You head down a specific street named Greek

Then it's underground
Then you end up in the underground area

Well it's Soho life
This is what life is like in the neighborhood of Soho

For this mobile knife
For people who are quick and efficient with a blade in their hand

It's the place to shoot
This is the ideal location for a music video or photo shoot

Friday night beat route
The route taken on a typical Friday night out
