Nightfall Revelry: Exploring Urban Desires in The Criticals' 'Izzy'
Lyrics
Izzy told me to hook up her yard
Izzy instructed me to set up her yard
While blowing lines in the stall
While using drugs in the bathroom stall
We shook the cobblestone Man. City streets
We experienced the bustling streets of Manchester City
'Til the neon signs final call
Until the final call of neon signs signaling the end of the night
Behind the eye of a tonic high
Amidst the effects of a tonic, possibly alcoholic, high
With a salt lick and a lime
Accompanied by a salt lick and a lime
The Belgian beauty with a pseudonym
Referring to a beautiful person from Belgium with a false name
Faded back to the night
Fading away into the night
I’m coming down with a fever
Expressing the onset of a fever
And my last cigarette
Accompanied by the last cigarette
It was sure nice to meet you
Acknowledging the pleasant encounter
I’m sure we’ll probably forget it
Suggesting that the meeting might be forgettable
I’m thinking bout yesterday’s dream
Contemplating a dream from the previous day
What will it be tonight?
Pondering what the night holds
I lose my mind from time to time
Admitting occasional lapses of sanity
And I’ve lost my lust for the light
Expressing a diminished desire for light or positivity
I’m coming down with a fever
Reiterating the onset of a fever
And my last cigarette
Repeating the image of the last cigarette
It was sure nice to meet you
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the pleasant encounter
I’m sure we’ll probably forget it
Reiterating the suggestion that the meeting might be forgettable
I got a funny feeling
Experiencing an unusual sensation or premonition
That there’s some habits to break
Suspecting the presence of certain habits that need to be broken
It was sure nice to tag along
Expressing gratitude for being part of an experience
And find out what was too late
Discovering something when it's already too late
I’m coming down with a fever
Repeating the onset of a fever
And my last cigarette
Repeating the image of the last cigarette
It was sure nice to meet you
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the pleasant encounter
I’m sure we’ll probably forget it
Reiterating the suggestion that the meeting might be forgettable
I got a funny feeling
Experiencing a peculiar sensation or premonition
That there’s some habits to break
Suspecting the presence of certain habits that need to be broken
It was sure nice to tag along
Expressing gratitude for being part of an experience
And find out what was too late
Discovering something when it's already too late
