Heroin, Vodka, White Noise

Heroin, vodka and white noise
Snow falling outside, on the way home
Past the street lights, night sky
All the way down the west
In this dream I had traveled by the night-line

Lose everything and find yourself

Yeah walk easy, easy on your feet
Doomed grandeur never feels so sweet

Lose everything and find yourself

There’s more to you than you will ever show
There’s more to this than I will ever dream of

The secret of love
And the secret of death
Both one and the same
Both seal my fate

Baby doll I’ve dreamt about you
Snow falling outside, on a night-line
There’s more to you than you will ever show
There’s more to this than I will ever know

Lose everything and find yourself

Walk easy, easy on your feet
Doomed grandeur never feels so sweet

Lose everything and find yourself

There’s more to you than you will ever show
There’s more to this than I will ever dream of

The secret of love
And the secret of death
Both one and the same
Both seal my fate

Yeah walk easy, easy on your young feet
Doomed grandeur never feels so sweet
Walk easy, easy on your feet
Doomed grandeur never feels so sweet

The secret of love
And the secret of death
Both one and the same
Both seal my fate
The secret of love
And the secret of death
Both one and the same
Both seal my fate

So walk easy, easy on your young feet
Doomed grandeur never feels so sweet

Song Notes

A classic ‘burn-out’ song, which served as a more gentle, bitter-sweet contrast to the likes of “Jesus Says”. A fan favourite, Tim has since expressed regret that it didn’t make it on to Nu-Clear Sounds. The song had the working title “Portishead” when it was demoed.
