about

'Back In The Van' is the new single from Somerset band White House Down

lyrics

Burn the book, we'll never learn
All of the diminishing returns
Liquid life losing in the fight
Aquaplaning; Middle of the night

The land of Dans and heroes mothers

Fuelling tired wheels again
Childhood shaking its young head
Silent films under hazy lights
Controversy close enough to bite

Because soon we'll be a world that reminisces about race
And you won't understand the words I've written on my face
For heaven holds no commonplace; No reason or no rhyme
For me to think of anyone but me, myself and I

I don't really want to say
But Winston really ain't that far away
Whatever there's to give or to take
I'll steal it from the belly of the beast before I slip away

First to show and last to leave
Freeze to death; Universities
Sell our soul if the price is right
Warm food; Middle of the night

But say no more
I don't exactly care
And I don't exactly try
I'm never one to know
Or ask the heavens why
If I quit I'll die
If I don't quit I will die
I don't need a website, bye
Unless I'm compelled to take a fool
On a magic carpet ride
Let's get back in the van

White House Down England, UK

The core of White House Down was formed more than a decade ago in a small village hall in Faulkland, Somerset.

Drawing from a variety of the classic and cult rock and roll artists of the 20th century, they always maintain their personal and unmistakable stamp.

Their sound, coupled with the lyrics and muses of Tom Hunt, is one that will leave a lasting impression on fans of the old and the new. ... more
