Tension (John Peel - 27/4/81) - Killing Joke

Sitting in my armchair, thinking again and again and again

Going round in a circle — I can’t get out

Then I look around, thinking day and night and day

Then you look around — there must be some explanation

And the tension builds!

Take advantage — let nothing be fantasy

How do you grow as you stunt your growth?

Nothing you say makes sense anymore

Then you look around — there must be some explanation

And the tension builds!

Sitting in my armchair, thinking again and again and again

Going round in a circle — I can’t get out

Reluctant in my cold sweat, thinking day and night and day

Then you look around — there’s nothing left to say

And the tension builds!
