Editors - The Racing Rats Lyrics
When the time comes
You're no longer here
Fall down to my knees
Begin my nightmare
Words spill from my drunken mouth
I keep up with the racing rats
And do my best to win
Slow down little one
You can't keep running away
You mustn't go outside yet
It's not your time to play
I push my hands up to the sky
Shade my eyes from the sun
As the dust settles around me
If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave
In the surface of the earth
Let's pretend we never met
Let's pretend we're on our own
We live different lives
Until our covers blown
I push my hand up to the sky
Shade my eyes from the sun
As the dust settles around me
Suddenly nightime has begun
If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave
In the surface of the earth
The surface of the earth
Come on now
You knew you were lost
But you carried on anyway
Oh come on now
You knew you had no time
But you let the day drift away
If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave
If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it make
In the surface of the earth
The surface of the earth

Conocí a Editors poco después de #INTERPOL Y #PLACEBO otras 2 bandas muy recomendadas
my favorite ! the racing rats !
love editors !
❤️❤️
I remember listening to this song while in 8th grade. 10 years later and I find this song as beautiful as it was before. I hope my taste in music never changes
One of the band members comes from my home town Stroud. (Looked like) the whole band walked into a bar i was at once, in about 04.. i actually noticed Edith Bowman, who was also with them, first. A DJ happened to be blasting a tune, that the friend i was with, and i wrote.. Gave Edith that CD... she probably chucked it out the window on the way home lol
I saw this clip just once, more than 11 YEARS ago on tv!! And today someone found it for me.. God i'm so happy!
I love this
Super🎶🎸❤❤❤❤❤👍
Chris urbanowicz - enough said
First two albums great .after...I don't know..
I’m 14 this song is so good,2018 dec??
probably one of the best songs ever. Its right there with Rest My Chemistry by Interpol and Sun in the morning by future islands.
I always preferred Pace is the Trick over Rest My Chemistry.
@Mauve Dragon Tiddies alright Pace had an epic swing and intro. And that chorus is murder. But rest. Rest my soul they just slayed. That suspended intro before dropping in. But yeah I feel you Pace needs some love.
Love it. 💟
love IT!!
@Andre Tibben 😜
These are some heavy lyrics. And a deep video
Li adoroo😍😍
The hole in the earrh World depend on the plains wheight? Good song but flaws in understanding shit
He means how much would people care or if people would notice. It's a metaphore

Well, the fact is Editors - as musicians- were unknown for me until yesterday.
The Racing Rats' theme is interesting by lyrics and it is understandable to point out the great leadsinger male voice performance.
However, 'guitar riff' as background sound are sometimes an expendable noise.
They remind me, somehow, Joy División or New Order, all of them British musicians. Then no regrets at all.
My favourite style of music is pop, sometimes I listen to rap but about more than month I listen do Editors, U2, Depeche Mode, Oasis Googoodolls, Muse and so on. Am I weried?
This just must be the world's best male vocal in the current music industry, so amazing!!!
Pezzaccio!
When the time comes that you're no longer there
Fall down to my knees, begin my nightmare
Words spill from my drunken mouth
I just can't keep them all in
I keep up with the racing rats
And do my best to win
Slow down, little one
You can't keep running away
You mustn't go outside yet
It's not your time to play
Standing at the edge of your town
With the skyline in your eyes
Reaching up to God
The sun says its goodbyes
If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave in the surface of the earth?
Let's pretend we never met
Let's pretend we're on our own
We'll live different lives
Until our cover's blown
I push my hand up to the sky
Shade my eyes from the sun
As the dust settles around me
Suddenly nighttime has begun
If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave in the surface of the earth
The surface of the earth?
Come on now
You knew you were lost
But you carried on anyway
Oh, come on now
You knew you had no time
But you let the day drift away
If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave?
And if a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it make in the surface of the earth
The surface of the earth
The surface of the earth?
After all these years, this song and lyrics still give me chills.
@Deempjeuh666 this song was released on 26th of November 2007. So if it was 4years ago you posted this comment and you finally found it after 8 years, then something still doesn't add up.@Joshua Sweetvale YouTube better starts believing in ghost stories...
hello 240p we meet again
Strepitosi!!!
I got 2 tickets for their concert in Hamburg in 2018
Love this song 😀 So much underated band 😕 Can't wait to see them soon !!

This song ❤
Let's pretend we never met
Let's pretend we're on our own
We live different lives
Until our covers blown
Still remember the concert in Sala Zeleste 10 years ago. Loved every second of it.
Still listening 2017
2018 <3
crying from joy when i listen this track too f'in touchin
When the time comes that you're no longer there
Fall down to my knees, begin my nightmare
Words spill from my drunken mouth
I just can't keep them all in
I keep up with the racing rats
And do my best to win
Slow down, little one
You can't keep running away
You mustn't go outside yet
It's not your time to play
Standing at the edge of your town
With the skyline in your eyes
Reaching up to God
The sun says its goodbyes
If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave in the surface of the earth?
Let's pretend we never met
Let's pretend we're on our own
We'll live different lives
Until our cover's blown
I push my hand up to the sky
Shade my eyes from the sun
As the dust settles around me
Suddenly nighttime has begun
If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave in the surface of the earth
The surface of the earth?
Come on now
You knew you were lost
But you carried on anyway
Oh, come on now
You knew you had no time
But you let the day drift away
If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave?
And if a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it make in the surface of the earth
The surface of the earth
The surface of the earth?

@Lorenzo Simons
ja het boek gebruikte de lyrics van editors haha. hmm niet zo oud denk ik het heet kater van margje woodrow
dus eigenlijk luister je niet naar Editors omdat je ze goed vindt, maar gewoon toevallig? :p
@Lorenzo Simons
ja gewoon toevallig luister er niet echt naar
haha k heb hem net ook gelezen
Hey you guys I saw editors at ziggo dome earlier this year- amazing the following and fans they have in the Netherlands!!!!
Brilliant track :-)
Nema dalje
Despair ahead
bağımlılık yapıyor
I really wonder what's this song and video about...Any guess?
+neverforgottenful I heard it's has somthing to do with the day 9-11-2001...
+neverforgottenful The song is about searching for meaning in a very big, unpredictable world, and keeping on with life when it seems meaningless and you feel overwhelmed by all the unanswerable questions.
Troppo bella
ah, i vecchi editors....Magnifici
Racing Olga, hope u will finish your race
I always commend this band because truthfully their skills and their way to show up are marvelous but I can' deny I mostly rely on their outset and their previous album while my expectations around the last one got bashed. Many songs are rooted into that steep and breathtaking darkness and this kind of somber approach has been leading the band since it all came out. Necessarily they clenched some artists from the akin stream, maybe Depeche had a great impact on their style and this is definitely a massive deal because there's a mutual spark. To be honest Depeche stuck to rock more than Editors, synths and keyboards keep being the main key but it's reasonable to experience new things and to widen your knowledge, even analyzing the process you manage and the possible evolution of the audience. The target you want to pick is an important aspect of the music, otherwise your style hovers around restricted and not identified categories; you fancy the listeners you're gonna play in front of but you take heed of their age as well. As soon as you turn into commercial melodies your result gets driven towards teenagers; so your oldest and keenest fans start feeling let down and they take a listen to anyone else, clearly.

Ana Radlovic by U2 😂
Que Temazoooooooooo
I looked fot this song for like 8 years and finaly found it YES !
that feeling...
You were diffrent person then
Great song
I'm looking for hiden sense of this song even if the song has not it.
existence the song says that the racing rats are the society, competing to be the best but he talks to himself in third person saying that he know it makes no sense to do so and is about to commit suicide and then he stops himself saying: como on now you knew you were lost but you carried on anyway, so he basicaly is saying even if everything makes no sense at some point to everyone, still why is everything here and the answer he tries to say is that everything is for a reason so is telling us that if we get to a point that we ger depressed or anxious about existence, there is no reason to be that way just keep going only time will tell.
awesome song !
only 240p? WTF???
sorry, but... the doors?.......... pls tell more
Amazing sound! Undoubtedly, one of the best bands I've seen live.
Great/
