Shutout
The Walker Brothers Lyrics

Throw off
Get rid of

Those gimmicks
The useless things that we hold onto

To the boys
Give them away to others

Let them
Allow them to

Send it all up
Let it all go

In the air
Disappear forever

There is
Existence of

Crouching and wailing
Bending down and crying loudly

On stones
In the rough environment

Down here
On the Earth

We must freeze off
We need to remove and forget

This atmosphere
This negative surrounding

Scraping out noise
Trying to eliminate the irrelevant sounds

Across night wires
Through the communication channels in the night

Runs for the distant cities
The message is sent to faraway places

There is never
Not even once there is

A lock
A permanent solution

In the fall
In the end

Down here
On the Earth

As the
While

BIG FULL
The chaos and destruction

Pours away
Spreads everywhere

In the shutout
The lockdown

In the shutout
The lockdown

How will we know
What will be left after

The great doll
The world as we know it

Something attacked
Something bad happened to

The earth last night
The world we live in

With a
Caused by

Kick that man habit
Confront our human destructive behaviour

Eye
Be careful

Cut the
Stop doing

Sleep tight boys
Get ready for the challenges ahead

Who dreamed
Those who imagined

And dreamed
Continued to imagine

Of a city
Of a better place

Like the sky
As beautiful as the sky

There were faces
There were people

Bobbing in the heat
Struggling with the difficulties

For some rising
Trying to uplift

From her zone
One's particular environment

Moving, hitting,
Actively struggling

Holding on
Trying to persist

For the promise
For the hope

To carry us home
To go back to a secure place

In the shutout
During the lockdown

In the shutout
During the lockdown

Never a lock
No sure solution

In the fall
At the end

In the shutout
During the lockdown

In the shutout
During the lockdown

How will we know
What will be left after

The great doll
The world as we know it
