Night of the Long Knives - Lyrics
Hold me on this, night of the long knives
There’s a flood on the street, there’s a tide, and it’s coming in now
Yet the concrete burns at the back of your skull
And they say it’s a wave but it feels like a dribbling mouth
There’s a light-bulb flicker but it never goes on
Yes the bomb may be falling
If it lands where you’re stood
Man I know it’s real big shame about your neighbourhood
I’m the wrong kind of people
Why’d you listen to me?
Just the island a’breathing in and out and it was a long time coming!
It was a long time coming!
[IT’S COMING]
There’s a car overturned and it isn’t stopping anytime soon
But the front seat sure beats licking some toads
And the sparks make the dark uncanny like a living cartoon
What the hell do you mean when you talk about roads?
Yes the bomb may be falling
If it lands where you’re stood
Man I know it’s real big shame about your neighbourhood
I’m the wrong kind of people
Why’d you listen to me?
Just the island a’breathing in and out and it was a long time coming!
It was a long time coming!
[IT’S COMING]
Hold me on this, night of the long knives
I’ve been dying all my life!
It was a long time coming.

This is the most underrated band I've seen in my entire life.

[@undeadrat8433]

True

[@williamangliss5063]

Leonardo Ramírez i found this band through a meme, people should start spreading this

[@kelvinfoote9897]

Leonardo Ramirez But not by you.....or me. So not underrated really

[@regdwight235]

@@kelvinfoote9897 yeah I noticed this with everything everything scores of viewers who rate them saying they are under rated . Ok they may not be number 1 in America (who knows could still happen ) but they definitely have an audience ,record deal and promotional budget . They received two Mercury nominations ,have been covered numerously in the music media had their fair share of plaudits . I don't know exactly in what capacity they are under rated . I certainly always get round to hearing their tunes . I think Cough Cough is amazing but this one is working its way in my brain . I think lots of people and journalists rate them .

[@p0p525]

IKR!!

[@Silvianoshei]

I don't understand how this stuff doesn't top the charts. That drum track is absolutely irresistible.

[@veggie42]

Silvianoshei The charts are pointless and should disappear as it's about views and clicks now

[@maxwilliams6872]

It's hard to decide who is the most ridiculously skilled person in this band but Mike the drummer might just edge it.

[@TyrooShino]

Because there isnt a set of tits or ass being flashed at the front, the lyrics are too meaningful and require listening... I sound cynical but modern music only becomes popular with the involvement of controversy, sex or drugs/alcohol. Art is a dying media and the world will pay for it.

[@tostare]

@billybhoy 79 I dunno. Foals are like EE's contemporaries, quite a similar band in a way (Jez even played bass on their 2019 tour) and they've had more chart success than EE. They're an all white guitar band. There's plenty of white people in the charts. I think EE haven't had tons of mainstream success because a) they're kind of a bit too arty and b) they haven't really managed to break the US. They deserve to, they could go in the same sort of category as Vampire Weekend who are very popular.

[@mossfoobar8322]

Top charts are absolute garbage, Generation Z listen to dog shit and thats coming from a millennial living in IRAN

[@forsheepsakes]

Every once in a great while, a band comes along that for divine reasons play like a magnificent machine. This is one of those bands.

[@thelmainoah]

I wish they were more popular, they really deserve it.

[@seagreentangerine2065]

They're getting radio play this year thank god ! And now Adele is out of the way we can now listen to decent music.

[@barendbe]

This song is one of my favorites of the new album and I was wondering why there wasn't a video of it. I guess it was a loooooong tiiiiiiime comiiiiiii-iiing

[@_MrOcean]

Hahahahahahahahaha

[@samuelkavanagh7924]

very nice

[@anamartinovic608]

ahhaaahaa

[@Ambern]

The atmosphere on this video is incredible, it fits the song perfectly

[@frankieashworth6942]

kinda reminds me of joy division

[@Ambern]

I see what you mean!!

[@UberAV]

an exercise in personal freedom, such as a stabbing spree, would have lightened it up just a pinch

[@themittenkitten_wastakenfromme]

@@UberAV I disagree sir

[@UberAV]

I speak from experience. You?

[@howisgamora_]

I came here for information on the event “night of the long knives” but I left with a new song in my playlist- I don’t understand what’s going on but it sounds nice

[@VindictiveDesign]

(I believe) the song is talking about The Night of the Long knives in abstract way. There is a venom in the song that borders near passive aggressive, “It’s a shame about your neighbourhood” “It’s been a long time coming” Idk, might just be me.

[@milesrobinson9590]

The black and white with the sparse bits of colour and flashing everywhere give it a very twentieth century feel to the video, almost pre-Cold War, which is probably exactly what they were going for given the song and the subject matter This song is amazing and this band is perfect! I hope to catch them next time they're in the US!

[@Yorkiepebbles]

Probably my favourite off the album, along with good shot, good soldier

[@bifflover7]

Agreed 100%

[@TheAwey21]

Can't forget Ivory Tower

[@joshdh95]

+Zaulo personally think ivory tower is the worst. Opinions, ey? This song is huge though, yes.

[@crankykoala8377]

One of the best openers of all albums I heard this year, that first 'drop' is so BOOOOOM. And good shot, good soldier is probably my favorite track of the whole album too, but frankly there is not a track I dislike this time :)

[@themittenkitten_wastakenfromme]

Can’t Do, A Fever Dream, Big Game and New Deep are awesome too.

[@zachbrattsveen5396]

This has really helped me during these times of conflict in America. Lyrically and instrumentally, so representative of the chaotic nature of the historical event it is named after. And slaps! You guys are effortlessly becoming one of my favorite bands.

[@jerrysportsmx5691]

I was so boring, without inspiration.... Then I heard this song and I feel alive..... Thanks music for your infinity love... So beautiful

[@iej7663]

Only discovered this band last week. Man oh man I am addicted to this song. It’s so so so good

[@seanjorrey9031]

Absolutely amazing, 2:41 gives me chills. If they are gonna make another video, I hope it's Good Shot, Good Soldier, arguably one of their best songs of all time.

[@martinhabsburger4929]

This exact moment, 100% agreed.

[@atrillustrator1609]

For me those chills explode here 3:56

[@tufui_egoeris]

If you get a chance to see them, they do an incredible live show. Saw them in Boston last night and it made my life. I don’t even like shows. 😅

[@FromOldetoNew]

I just saw them Live in Brisbane and it was incredible hearing this in person, it hit so many levels!

[@charlygarcia1995]

I just love you so much. I am from England, I discovered you there and I have brought you with me through all my travels, I now live in Mexico and frequently play your music here too. Your music plays right to my core. I was visiting the UK in the Spring time and had tickets to see you at the UEA but the snow meant the gig was cancelled. It is one of my life's ambitions to see you live, alongside seeing whales in the wild. You are as inspiring as whales in the wild. I love you all so much, don't ever stop!

I remember hearing this on MTV when it was first released, such a good song

[@maxj9030]

Great choice for the next single. Fantastic song. Please never stop making quirky, creative and beautiful music

[@psychokitty444]

So spot on!

[@dakotasmummy31]

What a perfect comment!

This isn't staying the same in my opinion... the colourful and huge instrumentation of Everything Everything is not present on this album

[@pavelbohumirrobertludolf2793]

The Night of the Long Knives (German: About this sound Nacht der langen Messer ), also called Operation Hummingbird (German: Unternehmen Kolibri) or, in Germany, the Röhm Putsch[a] (German spelling: Röhm-Putsch), was a purge that took place in Nazi Germany from June 30 to July 2, 1934, when the Nazi regime carried out a series of political extrajudicial executions intended to consolidate Hitler's absolute hold on power in Germany. Many of those killed were leaders of the Sturmabteilung (SA), the Nazis' own paramilitary organization, colloquially known as the "Brownshirts" due to the color of their uniforms. The best-known victim of the purge was Ernst Röhm, the SA's leader and one of Hitler's longtime supporters and allies. Leading members of the left-wing Strasserist faction of the Nazi Party (NSDAP), along with its figurehead, Gregor Strasser, were also killed, as were establishment conservatives and anti-Nazis, such as former Chancellor Kurt von Schleicher and Bavarian politician Gustav Ritter von Kahr, who had suppressed Adolf Hitler's Munich Beer Hall Putsch in 1923. The murders of SA leaders were also intended to improve the image of the Hitler government with a German public that was increasingly critical of thuggish Brownshirt tactics
