Won’t Be Saved
No I won’t be saved
No I won’t be saved
Heart is in my mouth
As I turn my face away
And I walk down the deserted streets
Desolate and grey
Nothing more to say
Whispering your name
Under winter skies
Imprisoned by the thought of you
Captured by your eyes
Mesmerised
No I won’t be saved
I will always be enslaved
No I won’t be saved
In my heart your name engraved
I’m down on my knees
In a willing sacrifice
I won’t confess my transgressions
I won’t repent my vice
I’ll pay the price
No I won’t be saved
I will always be enslaved
No I won’t be saved
In my heart your name engraved
No I won’t be saved
I won’t be saved
No I won’t be saved
I won’t be saved
The visions come at night
I feel I’m hypnotised
I tremble as I fall into
The furnace of your eyes
And out of sight
No I won’t be saved
I will always be enslaved
No I won’t be saved
I will love you to the grave
No I won’t be saved
I will always be enslaved
No I won’t be saved
In my heart your name engraved
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Song Notes
According to Tim during the Tim Burgess Twitter listening party for Meltdown in February 2021, this song was almost left off the album but Strangey – their agent – talked them in to keeping it on there.
Tim said of the song:
I always said this was the flip-side to “Shining Light”, which was all heavenly imagery about falling in love and “Won’t Be Saved” is about falling out of love and being damned to hell.
