Wire - Lowdown Songtexte

The time is too short but never too long
To reach ahead, to project the image
Which will in time become a concrete dream

Another cigarette, another day
From A to B, again avoiding C, D, and E
'Cause E is where you play the blues

Avoiding a death is to win the game
To avoid relegation, the big E

Drowning in the big swim
Rising to the surface
The smell of you, that's the lowdown

That's the lowdown
Drowning in the big swim
Rising to the surface
The smell of you, that's the lowdown
