"Violet Hill"

[00:40.25] It was a long and dark December

[00:43.09] From the rooftops I remember

[00:46.10] There was snow, white snow

[00:52.97] Clearly I remember

[00:55.45] From the windows they were watching

[00:58.73] While we froze down below

[01:05.10] When the future's architectured

[01:08.09] By a carnival of idiots on show

[01:13.83] You'd better lie low

[01:17.71] If you love me, won't you let me know?

[01:29.12] Was a long and dark December

[01:31.78] When the banks became cathedrals

[01:34.77] And a fox became God

[01:41.52] Priests clutched onto Bibles

[01:44.42] Hollowed out to fit their rifles

[01:47.43] And a cross was held aloft

[01:54.70] Bury me in armour

[01:57.07] When I'm dead and hit the ground

[02:00.06] My nerves are poles that unfroze

[02:06.30] And if you love me, won't you let me know?

[02:43.14] I don't want to be a soldier

[02:46.14] Who the captain of some sinking ship

[02:49.40] Would stow, far below

[02:55.40] So if you love me, why d'you let me go?

[03:07.15] I took my love down to Violet Hill

[03:12.88] There we sat in snow

[03:18.11] All that time she was silent still

[03:22.63] Said if you love me, won't you let me know?

[03:30.63] If you love me, won't you let me know?
