Graham Parker & the Rumour

The Rumour was an English rock band in the late 1970s and early 1980s. They are best known as the backup band for Graham Parker, whose early records (from 1976 to 1980) were credited to Graham Parker & The Rumour. However, The Rumour also recorded on their own, releasing three albums: Max (1977), Frogs, Sprouts, Clogs and Krauts (1979), and Purity of Essence (1980). The group broke up at the end of 1980, but reunited as Parker's backing band in 2011, and have performed and recorded with Parker ever since. The band undertook a short final UK tour in October 2015, finishing with a final concert at the London Forum on 17 October 2015. At this show, the surviving members of the horn section also reunited, for the first time in 33 years. more »

Pre>(e) a e d a d e
Uh, I had the time but I blew it, I had the power and I knew it
D a d e
Had the energy, but outgrew it, the identity but saw through it, yeah
E d a d e
I had the walk, but got trampled, had the taste, it was sampled
D a d e
Had the engine dismantled, had the flame, but no candle

Chorus
D e
I can't bear to see how it all looks in the light, keep it hidden now
D e f#m
If I could only find a switch that turns on the endless night
E d a e f#m
That turns on the endless night, that turns on the endless night
E d e
That turns on the endless night ah ah ah uh

Ah, if there's a wire, must cross it, if there's a coin, must toss it
If it's dirt can't wash it, it's my head, d-don't cosh it
There's a door, but they shut it, we all bleed, they cut it
It's so dark when you don't fit, it's a gauntlet you gotta run it oh baby
A e
Repeat chorus (plus) turn on the endless night
Instrumental verse (then)
Be
Turn on the endless, turn on the endless, turn on the endless

If there's a cross, then bear it, if there's a loss, then share it
If it's a risk let's dare it, if it's blindness, outstare it

Repeat chorus (plus)
D a e f#m
That turns on the endless night, (that, just, and) turns on the endless night
E d e
Let's turns on the endless night ah ah ah uh (repeat with variations and fade) /pre>
