In This Light And On This Evening Preview

The new Editors album is up for previewing on iTunes. It sounds absolutely amazing.

And now some lyrics, as far as I can make out.

IN THIS LIGHT AND ON THIS EVENING
I swear to god
I heard the Earth inhale
Moments before
It spat its rain down on me

BRICKS AND MORTAR
No one understands
The way you found your god
There's a bullet in your hands
Give a dog a bone

PAPILLON
It kicks like a sleep twitch!
Darling...

YOU DON'T KNOW LOVE
With the moles and the CIA
They say more than you ever say
Headlights in your rear view mirror
A panther's eyes as he preys on fear
You'll hunt for love, you electioneer

THE BIG EXIT
Take and you shall receive
No need to ask, you already know
The way I feel inside
Once, crowd among the shadows
See how much our love grows
Reflected in...

THE BOXER
A bruiseful moon
Playing fights with the stars
This place is our prison
Its cells the bars
So take...

LIKE TREASURE
...meat
You'll become digested
Well, love, it isn't felt
Well, love is tested
Yeah...

EAT RAW MEAT = BLOOD DROOL
I give a little to you
I give a little to him
I give a little to her
I give a little to you
I give a little to him
I give a little to her

WALK THE FLEET ROAD
But you're a long way from home
Through the dark we tiptoed
The hospital looms
As we walk the fleet road
Hold your tongue...

BONUS TRACKS
THIS HOUSE IS FULL OF NOISE
All that noise
There in your brain
Won't give you peace
It says I won't let you go
Where there's rivers or townfolk
I won't let you see
Because you're safe here, safe here with me
Baby, don't go

I WANT A FOREST
Too fast to see
The shapes they make
Or how they run
Our little world right round
Aaaahh....
I'm in your garden
But I want a...

MY LIFE AS A GHOST
Get out of this house now!
Head for the horizon
Tonight we take a...

HUMAN
In your TV, human yet

FOR THE MONEY
Make to the fields
That are neighbouring your town
Take all you can carry
Play with the fire
And let the money burn
It only bought a laugh
(?) sincerity...
