The Middle East – The Darkest Side lyrics
[Verse 1: Jordan Ireland]
One, two, three, four
Love
It’s the air in your mother’s lungs
When her fathers tore her fences down
Plastic bags and the panadol was out
[Verse 2: Jordan Ireland]
Love
Was a sold Gibson 335
And your father’s dream died that night
Just to keep that electricity on
[Chorus: Jordan Ireland]
And it’s the darkest side of my heart that dies when you come to me
And it’s the golden ticket I win when you kill my enemies
I hear the farthest cry and the softest sigh when I’m empty
But if you leave me I’ll hide in a game like SimCity
Oh when I die I’m alive
And when I lose I find
My identity
[Verse 3: Bree Tranter]
Son
If I died on my bedroom floor
Would you cry on your bedroom floor?
And tattoo my name underneath your arm
[Verse 4: Bree Tranter]
Love
That was alive in the olden days
Been put to death in this golden age
By our colour TV
[Chorus 2: Jordan Ireland]
And it’s the darkest side of my heart that dies when you come to me
And it’s the golden ticket I win when you kill my enemies
I hear the farthest cry and the softest sigh when I’m empty
But if you leave me I’ll get me gone and drown face down muddy in the water
Oh when I die…
When I die…
Die I’m alive
When I lose I find
My identity
[Verse 5: Rohin Jones]
Love
Was those dark clouds on the Friday
It was a holy shaking earthquake
And you were stuck up the tree
[Chorus 3: Jordan Ireland, Rohin Jones, and Bree Tranter]
And it’s the darkest side of my heart that dies when you come to me
Oh it’s the golden ticket I win when you kill my enemies
I hear the farthest cry and the softest sigh when I’m empty
But if you leave me I’d hello goodbye and I don’t shine at night look I’m dead man
Oh when I die…
When I die…
When I die…
When I die I’m alive
When I lose I find
My identity
One, two, three, four
Love
It’s the air in your mother’s lungs
When her fathers tore her fences down
Plastic bags and the panadol was out
[Verse 2: Jordan Ireland]
Love
Was a sold Gibson 335
And your father’s dream died that night
Just to keep that electricity on
[Chorus: Jordan Ireland]
And it’s the darkest side of my heart that dies when you come to me
And it’s the golden ticket I win when you kill my enemies
I hear the farthest cry and the softest sigh when I’m empty
But if you leave me I’ll hide in a game like SimCity
Oh when I die I’m alive
And when I lose I find
My identity
[Verse 3: Bree Tranter]
Son
If I died on my bedroom floor
Would you cry on your bedroom floor?
And tattoo my name underneath your arm
[Verse 4: Bree Tranter]

[Chorus 2: Jordan Ireland]
And it’s the darkest side of my heart that dies when you come to me

I hear the farthest cry and the softest sigh when I’m empty
But if you leave me I’ll get me gone and drown face down muddy in the water
Oh when I die…
When I die…
Die I’m alive
When I lose I find
My identity
[Verse 5: Rohin Jones]

When I die…
When I die I’m alive
When I lose I find
My identity
