Chinese Takaway Lyrics - John Cale

If you wanna be the heart of midnight 

You've gotta be either cynical or dead 

All those you hold in estimation 

You can no longer count among your friends 

Your friends look to surprise you 

As friends they always will 

So hold on to the extraordinary - hold on to the skill 

And start the easy listening, we're coming home again 

Stab the back of hell and heroes until we meet again

Listen for the slamming doors 

Listen on the ship to shore 

Listen hard 

Everytime the dogs bark 

Like a milk-cow servant turning over in his grave 

Turn off your headlights 

Show me you're gonna be the sheriff of my heart 

Heartbreaker, heartbreaker 

The harder the woman 

The colder the heart of the man 

The harder the woman 

The colder the heart of the man 

Listen for the slamming doors 

Listen on the ship to shore 

Listen hard 

Everytime the dogs bark 

Photos 

They're cowards of the moment who often miss their mark 

They're so resentful of the wisemen with a hunger for the dark 

So start the easy listening, we're coming home again 

Stab the back of hell and heroes until we meet again
