History's so strong
History's so strong
History's so strong
History's so strong
Sing another drinking song
The honky tonk will do
Make another breaking bomb
Your favourite ingenue

This the distant dawn
This the distant dawn

BRIDGE
I put my cards upon the table
I do this be-cause I am able
One pick has broken down devotion
I threw my pistol in the ocean

Eyes wide with rev?lation
Shine at the police station
And when the verdict comes round
I'm sure that you will go down

CHORUS
Stay the night we'll save the population
Stay the night we'll save the population
Stay the night we'll save the population
Stay the night we'll save the population

A pistol and its pawn
Sailing through the lexicon
A pistol and its pawn
Blood and border lines be drawn

Take another bottle
Down the brothel and the shrew
Make another awful sound
Around the gothic brew

History so strong
History so strong

BRIDGE

CHORUS
