[Chorus]
Darkness will trip, darkness will fall
Get no sleep on Salisbury Street
Mud on my shoes, sweat on my palms
Get no sleep on Salisbury Street

[Verse 1]
There is another time it could have been different
I know if it were you'd be there
Over the Pennines and out of the station
And finally up to a room

[Chorus]
A voice in my head and the cut won't heal
On Ambridge Walk in Salisbury Street
And what about her, well she nettles my thoughts
Hatred creeps down Salisbury Street

[Verse 2]
To gloat is as ugly as soaking yourself
In a wave of remorse
I shout on the shingle soaked to the skin
By a river that's taken its course

[Chorus]
To do good is so tempting it hurts
A tale complete from Salisbury Street
To do bad is as easy as sin
A tale complete from Salisbury Street
[Outro]
To do good is so tempting it hurts
To do bad is as easy as sin
To do good is so tempting it hurts
To do bad is as easy as sin
