Dread by Thank (UK) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The letting agent promised there were no ghosts in this house
But it smells of smoke and tar and grilled sausage and wet boots
So the dogs were going mad last night

[Verse 2]
I will perceive the smoke, the sulphur and the filth, the rotting things
I will hear the wailing, shrieking, all the blasphemies and cries
But look on the bright side
Think of all the art that's sure to be inspired by this dread

[Chorus 1]
You know, there's never been a good band from London
There's never been a good band from London
There's never been a good band from London
There's never been a good band from London

[Verse 3]
The letting agent promised there were no ghosts in this house
He said that not one previous tenant had complained of feeling dread
In fact, he didn't even know the meaning of the word
But the rent was 17% below the market rate
The letting agent promised there were no ghosts in this house
He said that not one previous occupant had ever ended up being dead
And just look on the bright side
Think of all the art that's sure to be inspired by this dread
[Chorus 2]
You know, there's never been a good band from London
And there's never been a good band below the age of 25
There's never been a good band from Leeds
In fact, there's never been a good band that's ever been alive
You know, there's never been a good band from London
And there's never been a good band below the age of 25
There's never been a good band from Leeds
In fact, there's never been a good band that's ever been alive

[Outro]
There's never been a good band, there's never been a good band
There's never been a good band, there's never been a good band
There's never been a good band, there's never been a good band
There's never been a good band, there's never been a good band
Dread
Dread
Dread
Dread, dread
Dread
