Lyrics New Model Army

New Model Army

Marrakesh

They found us back in the courtyard

At our table in the shade

We toasted our last few moments

And then the end came

They took us back to the airstrip

In that beaten up old car

And we we rattled across the African scrubland

In silence

Our hands locked together

And with cold steel cuffs

Sometimes I Wish It was still that way

Now a whole world has died since then

So many faithless days

I was borne alone and lucky

And I´ve just used to it that way

My dice still roll in sixes

And yours still turn up ones

And I have taken my good fortune

And I´ve run and run

But I always swore I´d come back for you

Is it to late now to come back for you

Now beneath this lonely junction

On the northbound M6

We spray our words of signature

On the concrete bridge

And between the words of wisdom

And the slogans of despair

Someone´s just gone and written

“I´m sorry” there

Well I always swore I´d come back for you

Is it too late now to come back for you

You’re the only one I´ll ever love
