1. History's so strong History's so strong History's so strong History's so strong Sing another drinking song the honky tonk will do Make another breaking bomb your favorite ingénue This the distant dawn This the distant dawn Pre-Chorus I put my cards up on the table I do this speak cause I am able One pixie's broken down devotion I threw my pistol in the ocean Eyes wide with revelation Shine at the police station And when the verdict comes round I'm sure that you will go down Chorus Stay all night, we'll save the population... (4x) 2. Pistol and its pawn Sail it through the lexicon Pistol and its pawn Blood and borderlines be drawn Take another bottle down the brothel and the shrew Make another awful sound, a rather gothic brew History's so strong History's so strong Pre-Chorus I put my cards up on the table I do this speak cause I am able One pixie's broken down devotion I threw my pistol in the ocean Eyes wide with revelation Shine at the police station And when the verdict comes round I'm sure that you will go down Chorus Stay all night, we'll save the population...
