The Bitter End Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Since we're feeling so anaesthetised
In our comfort zone
Reminds me of the second time
That I followed you home
We're running out of alibis
On the second of May
Reminds me of the summertime
On this winter's day
[Chorus]
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
[Verse 2]
Every step we take that's synchronized
Every broken bone
Reminds me of the second time
That I followed you home
You shower me with lullabies
As you're walking away
Reminds me that it's killing time
On this fateful day
[Chorus]
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
Since we're feeling so anaesthetised
In our comfort zone
Reminds me of the second time
That I followed you home
We're running out of alibis
On the second of May
Reminds me of the summertime
On this winter's day
[Chorus]
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
[Verse 2]
Every step we take that's synchronized
Every broken bone
Reminds me of the second time
That I followed you home
You shower me with lullabies
As you're walking away
Reminds me that it's killing time
On this fateful day
[Chorus]
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
[Outro]
From the time we intercepted
Feels a lot like suicide
Slow and sad, grown inside us
Arouse and see you're mine
(See you at the bitter end)
Love has seen your run-around
Who wanna seek you now?
I want a peace
I'd whine out
(See you at the bitter end)
Love's reached his side
Grab this gentleness inside
Heard a cry
Six feet down
(See you at the bitter end)
In six weeks' time
The mess you left
Will end
From the time we intercepted
Feels a lot like suicide
Slow and sad, grown inside us
Arouse and see you're mine
(See you at the bitter end)
Love has seen your run-around
Who wanna seek you now?
I want a peace
I'd whine out
(See you at the bitter end)
Love's reached his side
Grab this gentleness inside
Heard a cry
Six feet down
(See you at the bitter end)
In six weeks' time
The mess you left
Will end
About
Genius Annotation
The first single from the record, featuring a futuristic video where the band are transposed onto the huge Lovell telescope at Jodrell Bank, and utilise night vision to track a jealous lover. The track was a minor chart success, making it to number 12 in the UK. It was the last time the band would climb this high in the UK Singles charts.
Brian said of the song:
The back-to-basics rock song, written in two days. Two people trying to come out of a relationship with the least scars. Very fuck you.
