lyrics

Always remember…
Empires never last, they always crumble and fall..

A bully with a smile, transparently nice
But beware as she carries a big spoon and a long sharp knife

She’ll diss you and stab you as soon as look at you
She’ll point the finger and pull the trigger
For no good reason
And your only crime was to tell the truth

She don’t like it, no she don’t like it

Always remember…
Empires never last, they always crumble and fall..

Little Miss Glory seeker, taking all the accolades
But if something goes horribly wrong , her enthusiasm rapidly fades
And she’ll run a mile to distance herself, if it doesn’t work out
And let some other poor sods take the blame, of that there is no doubt

She don’t see it, no she don’t see it

Always remember…
Empires never last, they always crumble and fall

And I don’t know how she sleeps at night
She blots out the truth and believes in all her own hype
No, I don’t know how she sleeps at night
Perhaps she enjoys the thrill of a kill and a dirty fight

She don’t see it, no she don’t like it

Always remember…
Empires never last, they always crumble and fall
Always remember…
Empires never last, they always crumble and fall
They crumble and fall

When you I look at you, I see nothing at all
Just a big black hole where there should be a s o u l……..

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper

What can I say about Big Big Train that I haven’t said before? This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship. Essential. Crinklechips
