Retreat Lyrics

I'm walking unknown territory
Where the sun's not shining
There's nothing golden about Golden Lane
The smoke is heavy in my lungs and the adverts are working
I just can't sell for who or what I am

I don't wanna miss out on anything
At the same time I feel the need to retreat
Everything is temporary these days
Might as well go out for a third night in a row

Should I give my money to a good cause
Or save for a holiday
In a couple of months I could be in paradise
But the girl at the bar is well nice and she's looking over
It's only right that I get the next round in

I don't wanna miss out on anything
At the same time I feel the need to retreat
Everything is temporary these days
Might as well go out for a fifth night in a row

Walk home, come down, retreat, to sleep!
Wake up, go out, again, repeat!
Walk home, come down, retreat, to sleep!
Hook up, again, this time, next week!
Walk home, come down, retreat, to sleep!
Wake up, go out, again, repeat!
Walk home, come down, retreat, to sleep!
Hook up, again, this time, next week!

I don't wanna miss out on anything
At the same time I feel the need to retreat
Everything is temporary these days
Might as well go out for a fifth night in a row

Walk home, come down, retreat, to sleep!
Wake up, go out, again, repeat!
Walk home, come down, retreat, to sleep!
Hook up, again, this time, next week!
Walk home, come down, retreat, to sleep!
Walk home, come down, retreat, to sleep!
Walk home, come down, retreat, to sleep!
Hook up, again, this time, next week!

The Rakes were a four piece indie rock band hailing from London. Releasing their debut album Capture/Release in 2005, The Rakes were the talk of the Reading and Leeds Festival after joining forces with Indie elites such as Bloc Party and Maxïmo Park in the NME Tent.
They recently released their third album Klang which included the singles 1989 and That's the Reason.

On 2009, The Rakes announced that the band was to split with immediate effect: "The Rakes have always been very adamant and proud of the fact that we give 100% to every gig we’ve ever played. If we can’t give it everything then we won’t do it. That was the rule we set ourselves from day one".

Their style can be described as "lo-fi" indie and is vaguely reminiscent of early Joy Division with some catchy guitar riffs and intelligent and humorous lyrics.
