lyrics
Black Air and siren songs
Fill the darkening sky
Blue lights and amber tongues
Illuminate the night
Load them in and pile them high
Smoke billows in the sky
Greed stokes the flames
And what remains, but a list of names
Red Hands and Silver Spoons
Serve a thousand lies
Then built
A funeral pyre that’s 24 floors high
Loads them in and pile them high
Smoke billows in the sky
Greed stokes the flames
And what remains but a list of names
Fill the darkening sky
Blue lights and amber tongues
Illuminate the night
Load them in and pile them high
Smoke billows in the sky
Greed stokes the flames
And what remains, but a list of names
Red Hands and Silver Spoons
Serve a thousand lies
Then built
A funeral pyre that’s 24 floors high
Loads them in and pile them high
Smoke billows in the sky
Greed stokes the flames
And what remains but a list of names

Good Days
by Beats & Pieces Big BandBeats & Pieces are a Manchester jazz institution, and their latest record is special. We're a bit biased though, 'cause our very own Emily (Baritone Sax) and Graham (Trumpet) are on it.
