Lowdown Lyrics - Wire

The time is too short 

But never too long 

To reach ahead 

To project the image 

Which will in time 

Become a concrete dream 

Another cigarette 

Another day 

From A to B 

Again avoiding C, D, and E 

'Cause E's 

Where you play the blues 

Avoiding a death 

Is to win the game 

To avoid relegation 

The big E 

Drowning in the big swim 

Rising to the surface 

The smell of you 

That's the lowdown 

That's the lowdown 

Drowning in the big swim 

Rising to the surface 

The smell of you
