When Sundown Comes
Lyrics

Dodgy dealers, money stealers

Covering the blackest routes

Transvestites hope they’ve dressed right

But what’ve they got to lose

Crime bosses counting losses

Making sure the deal went through

Groups of slappers coming at us

Wearing latex suits

-

OH WHEN SUNDOWN COMES

THE WORLD CHANGES ITS FACE

WHEN THE DAY IS ALL BUT DONE

THINGS ARE DONE A DIFFERENT WAY

COS WHEN SUNDOWN COMES

THE NIGHT WILL BE EMBRACED

OH DOWN GOES THE SUN

AND THE DARK, TAKES ITS PLACE

-

Fake watch sellers try to tell us

They’re not selling fakes

Senseless muggers try to pull us

Into dark alleyways

There are stalkers pimps and paupers

You don’t see through the day

There are hookers, drunks and gamblers

They’ve all come out to play

-

OH WHEN SUNDOWN COMES

THE WORLD CHANGES ITS FACE

WHEN THE DAY IS ALL BUT DONE

THINGS ARE DONE A DIFFERENT WAY

OH WHEN SUNDOWN COMES

THE NIGHT WILL BE EMBRACED

OH DOWN GOES THE SUN

AND THE DARK, TAKES ITS PLACE

-

Get paralytic with the cretins

They think they’re full of it

Try to get laid and you’ll get brayed

Cos you’re seeing someone’s bit

Pop a pill you might be ill

But people encourage it

When you get home vomit alone

Then you’ll regret it

-

OH WHEN SUNDOWN COMES

THE WORLD CHANGES ITS FACE

WHEN THE DAY IS ALL BUT DONE

THINGS ARE DONE A DIFFERENT WAY

COS WHEN SUNDOWN COMES

THE NIGHT WILL BE EMBRACED

OH DOWN GOES THE SUN

AND THE DARK, TAKES ITS PLACE

Lowdown

A cynical view of nightlife in the somewhat less salubrious areas of a city centre, When Sundown Comes reads like a cross between an expose on binge culture and Frank Miller's Sin City.

Since it was written 6 years ago, I feel justified in saying I was ahead of my time. ;)
