The Proclaimers - The First Attack lyrics

Since i started being impressed By the things that move me all the treasures that i missed Came back to stand around me And as i curse the wasted time I lift my head to say Thank you god you gave the strength That helped me walk away All the fear and anger Still stays within my heart And i cant recall the last time I imagined they'd depart But this is what i'm going to do When they force me to doubt I'll ask for what i know remains To help me sing them out As rays of sun shine through the clouds To heat the soaking ground So when we come to sing the shouts We'll burn the theatres down Let every disbelieving sneer That looked me in the back Turn, come towards us, and feel the first attack.
