The Baskervilles
Embracing the Twilight: The Baskervilles' Farewell to a Dying Breed
Lyrics
A toast to the last of a dying breed
A tribute to the final members of a diminishing group
They're crawling back to bed
They are returning to their beds
They're falling back to sleep
They are going back to sleep
A chill touches the base of your neck
A sensation of cold at the back of the neck
Who'd call by at this hour?
Questioning who would visit at this late hour
Who's standing at my step?
Curiosity about the identity of someone at the doorstep
Alright, we tried to help
An acknowledgment of attempted assistance
Alright, we tried to help
Repeated acknowledgment of trying to help
So pull back the covers tonight
Suggesting to reveal or expose something tonight
I believe, correct me if I'm wrong
Expressing a belief with a request for correction if wrong
That end was meant for you
Belief that a particular ending was intended for the listener
Since before you were born
Implying a connection to the listener before their birth
So here's to the last of a dying breed
A salute to the remaining few of a fading category
They're crawling back to bed
They are going back to their beds (repeated)
They're falling back to sleep
They are falling back to sleep (repeated)
Alright, we tried to help
Acknowledgment of the attempt to provide assistance
Alright, we tried to help
Repeated acknowledgment of trying to help
A shit sigh, you've got no act
Reference to a negative expression, suggesting no performance
Loosen up those muscles
Encouragement to relax and ease tension in the body
Straighten up that back
Advice to straighten up the back, possibly metaphorical
Alright, we tried to help
Acknowledgment of the attempt to provide assistance
Alright, we tried to help
Repeated acknowledgment of trying to help
So pull back the covers tonight
Suggesting to reveal or expose something tonight (repeated)
A toast to the last of a dying breed
A tribute to the final members of a diminishing group
They're crawling back to bed
They are going back to their beds (repeated)
They're falling back to sleep
They are falling back to sleep (repeated)
A toast to the last of a dying breed
A tribute to the final members of a diminishing group
They're crawling back to bed
They are going back to their beds (repeated)
They're falling back to sleep
They are falling back to sleep (repeated)
