Walking Wounded

Walking Wounded is the ninth studio album by British musical duo Everything but the Girl. It was released on 6 May 1996 by Atlantic Records in the United States and Virgin Records in Europe. The album saw the group adopting a more electronic and dance-based style, following the success of the remixed version of "Missing" from their previous album, Amplified Heart. Four tracks from the album were released as singles, including the drum and bass-influenced "Walking Wounded" and the house-influenced "Wrong", which became top ten hits on the UK Singles Chart, as well as the downtempo track "Single", which set Tracey Thorn's emotionally direct vocal against breakbeats, organ and strings, and "Before Today". more »

I know I've been here once before
A light in the darkness
And I am so mindless
I'm so alone
A thousand times I heard the cry
Arrive at the doorway
And lie on the highway

Middle of nowhere
Left for no reason
Kickin and screamin
Burn away squealin
Rubber not even
Another match and we score
Striker, in just the right spot
Ive been blessed, lines crossed
Kill the beat, hide in the melody
Feel fly on the wall I could never see
True gods inside all youll ever be
A whole universe deep into the molecule
Long plank bridge but its rotten through
Stepping like wolf ready to hop
Howl, loud big mean gritty scowl
Proud, who gon' f*ck with us now?
Coward, whole lot more by the hour
Power, well you can butter me up
Cause when the heat hits it'll scorch us
Old golden brown notorious
So fiery, so gorgeous
Let the flares go, I ignored them
You're a bad bad bad bad bad bad bad one but you know it
And you know this
Had a worn heart when I wrote this
Blowin smoke lookin old dish yeah
Goin all in for the potion
Oh you got half? throw it on black
Oops there she goes whole roll dummy
Emptied out, low blow to the tummy
You'll get no more from me

I know I've been here once before
A light in the darkness
And I am so mindless
I'm so alone
A thousand times I heard the cry
Arrive at the doorway
And lie on the highway

Nothin' in the back
Pop that latch as the seat lays flat
Couldn't do shit with a baseball bat
Look into the eye of a man through a mask
Careful with yours, as could be the last
Pedal to the metal, burn that gas
Let the wheels spin fast. let the wheels spin fast. Let the wheels
Death is realized
Once fear has left you paralyzed
Only see things through our eyes
So what if the reflections lied
Hide, get outside
You are not in your right mind
Too smart, I wanna dumb down
Think of things straight bending thoughts now
Love found in an ignorant bliss
Wide eyed, starin at tits
Offended, well its open ended
Plastic in the ocean to show I meant it
Pull up on a garden in a truck, cement it
Plant based, army of ant slaves
Meat fed, off on a rampage
Just a pulled pin, no hand grenade, what?
You've lost some listeners, huh?
Whispers in a blizzard
Big lick off the back of witch lizard
Trip when the whole world flip, met the wizard
Whap, crack, caught the staff left some splinters
Back to reality - cold dirt nap is what happened actually
I woke up, mouth tastes like batteries
Oh make shape shift - you can't fake this
We've all broke it going hard
Cram them all in it's basic bullshit
Park the bus on the boulevard
Growing antlers, maybe horns
Not sure what for but there will be scars
Self inflicted, or maybe gifted
Lonely nights staring at the stars

I know I've been here once before
A light in the darkness
And I am so mindless
I'm so alone
A thousand times I heard the cry
Arrive at the doorway
And lie on the highway

All I hear is me, latency
Been this way since eight thirteen
That's the summer when these lines blurred
Gettin out soon time served
No buddies no close friends
All gone and we lost ends
Maybe see me when you lie flat
All in it was highjacked

All I hear is me, latency
Been this way since eight thirteen
That's the summer when these lines blurred
Gettin out soon time served
No buddies no close friends
All gone and we lost ends
Price we pay now to get the trap
One by one numbered back to back to back
