  • This song is from WTK's EP known as Between the Ink and Paper. This is my favorite song by We The Kings. It incorporates so many different styles of music, I wish they would release new stuff with this sound to it.

    Call the constable
    There is blood in the streets
    Call the constable
    Call the constable
    There is blood in the streets
    Call the constable
    White chapels stained with shame
    Like a child, you fell right into my game
    A sprig of grapes and chardonnay
    Did you even know my name?
    A gentleman with horse and carriage
    Is four pounds for the taking
    I gave birth to the twentieth century
    They couldn't have done it without me
    You fear my name but not my face
    Is that where you went wrong?
    Escape from your lungs, awake Mary
    There's a taste of laudanum on your lips
    This feeling is numb
    The way you've pulled me in
    So go ahead and kiss me goodnight
    Comatose and two pints for the ride
    No one can hear you cry
    Where did you go wrong?
    You marched the streets of London
    Never saying a word
    It seems like heaven and hell
    Are fighting their waiting for you
    Did someone follow you there?
    (Did someone follow you there?)
    Is that where you went wrong?
    Did someone follow you there?
    He was so clean
    Like the knife was an extension of his body
    Escape from your lungs, awake Mary
    There's a taste of laudanum on your lips
    This feeling is numb
    The way you've pulled me in
    So go ahead and kiss me goodnight
    Comatose and two pints for the ride
    No one can hear you cry
    So clever I never rushed
    I never said you meant this much
    So clever I never rushed
    I never said, I never said
    So clever I never rushed
    (Where did you go wrong)
    I never said you meant this much
    (Where did you go wrong)
    So clever I never rushed
    (Where did you go wrong)
    We never said you meant this much
    I never said you meant this much for us
    I never said, I never said
    I never said you meant this much for us
    I never said, I never said
    So clever I never rushed
    Call the constable
    There is blood in the streets
    Call the constable
    White chapels stained with shame
    Call the constable
    There is blood in the streets
    Call the constable
    White chapels stained with shame

    Although i love We The Kings, im listening to their old stuff now (even some of their De Soto and Broken Image stuff) and its so good!!! Dont understand why they changed up their sound so much. Lets hope on their next album we hear some more stuff like this :D

    @rcuff1: i should hope it isn't based on the film... the book - extremely well researched, beautiful, and scary as hell - was infinitely better. also, it's called "laudanum", which is an opiate, used commonly in victorian times as a pain reliever.

    I don't understand why people keep writing ctfxc stuff on here, Charles wasn't even a part of the band when they made these! Idk, it just annoys me :/
