Open Up Lyrics


They were looking for me when I came to
They were looking for me when I came back
Said, "Hey you, you're looking very suspicious"
I said, "Relax man get off my back"
I said, "Relax man get off my back"
I, I, I ain't opposed to seeking justice
But you're going about it all wrong
The man you're looking for does not exist
He's just a figment of the higher man's tongue
And they say, "Open up we're coming inside
You can't run so you may as well hide
We got the place covered
From head to toe, head to toe"
"Open up we're coming inside
What's it feel like to know you're going to die
On the other side of the row
On the other side of the row?"
So they took me down to the gallows

And this boy he said to me, "Why do you smile
When the rope's around your neck?"
I said, "I tell you boy when I get back"
I said, "I tell you boy when I get back"
I, I, I ain't opposed to seeking justice
But you're going about it all wrong
The man you're looking for does not exist
He's just a figment of the higher man's tongue
He's just a victim of the higher man's tongue
And they say, "Open up we're coming inside
You can't run so you may as well hide
We got the place covered
From head to toe, head to toe"
"Open up we're coming inside
What's it feel like to know you're going to die
On the other side of the row
On the other side of the row
On the other side of the row?"
Hands above your head
Que le via bien
Step out of line we'll and fill you with lead
How are we to know that you're not a liar
Don't you see when have a job to do
And our job is the law
You fit the description of a criminal crosser
We believe that he is you and that is your flaw
That is your flaw, that is your flaw, that is your flaw
That is your flaw, that is your flaw, that is your flaw
And they say, "Open up we're coming inside
You can't run so you may as well hide
We got the place covered
From head to toe, head to toe"
"Open up we're coming inside
What's it feel like to know you're going to die
On the other side of the row
On the other side of the row
On the other side of the row?"

Editors are a British indie rock/post-punk revival band from Birmingham, England, formed by Tom Smith (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Russell Leetch (bass) Ed Lay (drums) and Chris Urbanowicz (guitar 2003 - 2012) who met while studying at Staffordshire University, in Stafford, England, United Kingdom during 2003. They take their inspiration from bands such as Echo & the Bunnymen, R.E.M., Joy Division and Elbow. To date they have released 3 studio albums.

The band were originally known as (The) Pride, before they changed their line-up and became known as Snowfield, becoming a popular unsigned band. They remained with this name until they signed with Kitchenware Records in September 2004.

The band's debut single Bullets was released as a limited edition of 500 on Kitchenware Records on January 24, 2005; it quickly gained support from radio stations such as Xfm and BBC 6 Music - where it was the single of the week.

Their debut album, The Back Room, was released on 25 July 2005, to critical acclaim. The band toured out most of 2005, including two jaunts with We Are Scientists. However, after a pivotal support slot on Franz Ferdinand's Arena tour at the end of 2005, it was the re-release of single Munich in January 2006 that propelled them into the top 10 of the UK single's chart. The following May, Editors played three sell-out shows at London's Brixton Academy, and countless gigs worldwide. The album has now sold over 500,000 units.

In June 2007 Editors released a second album, An End Has A Start which included the single Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors. This first track was released on June 18th 2007 in the UK, and June 26th in the US, however it was leaked onto the Internet earlier. The album's title track, An End Has A Start was released on September 3rd, The Racing Rats on November 26th, 2007. Following a landmark appearence on The Other Stage at the Glastonbury festival, the album entered at number 1 in the UK album chart.

In This Light and on This Evening, the third studio album, was released on October 12th 2009. With the heavy synthesizer sound and industrial ring, the album differed immensely from the earlier work of the band. Tom explained this change as a way for the band to try something completely different. Papillon, the first single, was followed by You Don't Know Love. The third single was Eat Raw Meat = Blood Drool. The album was inspired by the city of London, both lyrically as musically and debuted at number 1 in the UK album charts.

On April 16th 2012, during the recording of their fourth studio album with producer Flood, Editors announced that Chris Urbanowicz (guitar) was leaving the band basing the decision entirely upon the band's future musical direction.
