Up Against It

News in the city\nBreaks without pity\nLong after the war has ended\nWe’re still in fatigues\nUp against it\nThe higher you fly, the further you fall\nUp against it\nWondering why we fought after all\nSuch a cold winter\nWith scenes as slow as Pinter\nSynchronize your watches\nThere’s still time to kill\nUp against it\nDrinking this swill to sweeten the pill\nUp against it\nThe more that it hurts the less that it works\nWrapped up in nostalgia\nTo queue for a show\nBack to Trafalgar\nOne kiss then I’ll go\nSo deep in quicklime\nThe bones of an old crime\nI knew a man who raked them over\nHe’s still suffering\nUp against it\nBuried so deep it gives me the creeps\nUp against it\nThe longer you hate the more that it grates\nUp against it\nLook left then right and run for your life\nUp against it\nThe more that it hurts the less that it works
