As the city asleep   Shares its dreams and desires   Every wish that we keep   Will trace a line to other times, other places      Though the song of the proud   Howls and dies, never fall for defeat   Take a trip to reprieve every hour they leave   From Killermont Street      Drink a drink to before   And our memories spill   Adding on as they pour   From our Saturdays and secret sensations      Drink a drink to tonight   Whisky words tumble down in the street   With the pain that they cure, sentimentally yours   From Killermont Street      And with collar upturned   I made it south to see   That the love I had spurned   Was just the hate in me      As the ships and the steel   Slip away to the cry of "compete"   There's a message for us   We can get there by bus   From Killermont Street      There's a message for us   We can get there by bus   From Killermont Street
