lyrics

Keep down low, no radar here
Close your eyes, you can’t see their fear
Flying down the empty hall
Unfriendly posting on your wall
Don’t want to hurt your feelings
Like drinking innocent smoothies
All the files here, no-one cares
Surface to air

Nihilist comes to life this morning
He don’t look so friendly
When he left for school
He turned on autopilot
Banks to the left, liars to the right
He wants to feel alive, so
No-one goes home from here alive

Don’t slap us on the wrist
You make it harder to resist
You can only twist the knife in
To take from us all that a life is
So punish all the honest men
Make sure we’re all back here again
Turn your autopilot off
We don’t want to crash and burn

Tie your shoes, come in to land
Unload the baggage into hand
Wouldn’t notice to begin
Armed with more than a toothless grin
Don’t want to hurt your feelings
Innocently or otherwise

Nihilist comes to life this morning
He don’t look so friendly
When he left for work
He turned on autopilot
His bank’s to the left, lawyers to the right
He wants to feel alive, so
No-one goes home from here alive

Don’t slap us on the wrist
You make it harder to resist
You can only twist the knife in
To take from us all that a life is
So punish all the honest men
Make sure we’re all back here again

Oh! woe is you
Oh! hope is me
But hope never set us free
Oh! woe is you
Oh! hope was me
When freedom hurts, it’s real

Nihilist comes to life this morning
He don’t look so friendly
When he turned up to vote
He turned on autopilot

Don’t slap us on the wrist
You make it harder to resist
You can only twist the knife in
To take from us all that a life is
So punish all the honest men
Make sure we’re all back here again

The Quixotes London, UK

With infectious and highly melodic tunes, The Quixotes specialize in songs about abject misery. Straddling multiple genres including electronica, indie- rock, 80's pop and blues.
