Rear Window - Give My Regards Lyrics

Don't need to stick the knife in and impale
Don't wanna turn the thumb screw tight
I wanna tip the balance of the scales
Til they say I was always right

No Agincourt, no Waterloo
No crown no country to defend
I ain't sticking two
Two fingers up at you
I just need the means to justify the end

Give my regards to the west end
Remember me by parliament Square
I promise I'll be back in a little while
Just promise that you won't wait for me there

Give my regards to Broadway
Think of me on the million-dollar stairs
I know I said I would be back in a little while
Just promise that you won't wait for me there

Ithaca is just beyond the clouds
But the sirens keep on tryna pull me down
I'll turn my headphones up loud
Tie me to the mast
Try my best to drown out the sound

Now there's an icy hand
On my shoulder
I hear the ticking of a bomb
& I was born so far away
When I was older
I'm just tryna get home
Tryna get home

Let the river run through me
Leave my guns buried the ground
It took me so long
I can't have gravity bringing me down

Give my regards to the west end
Remember me by parliament Square
I promise I'll be back in a little while
Just promise that you won't wait for me there

Give my regards to Broadway
Think of me on the million-dollar stairs
I know I said I would be back in a little while
Just promise that you won't wait for me there"
