Think about it, there s darkness in his mind
You can t refuse, i know that it couldn t happen to me, know you got nothing to lose
run from the beast
there s darkness in his mind
no one doubts the wisdom of this move
but i m not laughing
you ought to take a look at the eyes of your friends
He s been looking for you, all you gotta do is think, you might think this is funny
Out in the streets, out in the streets
You might think this is funny, you re getting older and you know you got something to prove
he s been spreading disease
The modern vampire prowls, no one doubts the wisdom of this move
It s getting colder and you know you got nothing to lose, i know that it couldn t happen to me Only, all you gotta do is think
for a long time
I know that it couldn t happen to me, he s been looking for you
he s been looking for you
There s danger in his eyes, it s getting colder and you know you got nothing to lose The, out in the streets
You ought to take a look at the eyes of your friends, you ought to take a look at the eyes of your friends
he s been looking for you
It s getting colder and you know you got nothing to lose, he s been looking for you, i don t care about it happening to me
When someone tempts you, but i m not laughing The, i know that it couldn t happen to me
But i m not laughing, for a long time
If you don t believe me, know you got nothing to lose The, run from the beast
You re getting older and you know you got something to prove, you might think this is funny
Totally underated. Pete is a genius songwriter and it's one of the best songs about smack. Wasted youth ( uk ) also went under the radar like other great bands of the era...shame. "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink" Spot on Pete.
Heard this track when it first came out in 1978.
Peter's sorrowful decline due to many years of hard drug abuse,
makes this track all the more poignant.
The needle and the damage done. How true.
Seriously man, by the time the next generation comes round, Blink will have been forgotten. They were a nothing band when they were around, and they're a nothing band now.
The Only Ones debut album is considered a must have classic from the period, their music is not only great, but significant.
Astonishing, multi layered and brilliant. One of the greatest overlooked songs of all time. How can you not love it. Probably about heroin addiction (Perrett) STD's and vampirism. Absolutely wicked.
