Ultravox - Cut And Run Lyrics
[Chorus:]
See the man on the phone
With a gun in his hand
Sipping courage from a crystal cup
He's a man in the wrong
Pushes on and now it's time to cut and run
Time, passing so slowly
Still, as he sits, and he watches the sand slip through his hands
He demands something more
Something strong
Something savage and pure
One more twist of the knife, and it's time to cut and run
[Chorus]
He smiles as he draws on his last cigarette
And he tries to forget all that forces every move
He commands something new
Something strong
Something spiteful and true
One more twist of the knife, and it's time to cut and run
Cries on his tape so they might understand
Signs his farewell with a squeeze of his hand
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Chorus]

See the man on the phone with a gun in his hand
Sipping courage from a crystal cup
He's a man in the wrong with a gun at his head
Pushes on and now it's time to cut and run
Time, passing so slowly
Still, as he sits and he watches the sand slip through his hands
He demands something more, something strong
Something savage and pure
One more twist of the knife and it's time to cut and run
See the man on the phone with a gun in his hand
Sipping courage from a crystal cup
He's a man in the wrong with a gun at his head
Pushes on and now it's time to cut and run
He smiles, as he draws on his last cigarette
And he tries to forget all that forces every move
He commands something new, something strong
Something spiteful and true
One more twist of the knife and it's time to cut and run
Cries on his tape so they might understand
Signs his farewell with a squeeze of his hand
See the man on the phone with a gun in his hand
Sipping courage from a crystal cup
He's a man in the wrong with a gun at his head
Pushes on and now it's time to cut and run
See the man on the phone with a gun in his hand
Sipping courage from a crystal cup
He's a man in the wrong with a gun at his head
Pushes on and now it's time to cut and run
See the man on the phone with a gun in his hand
Sipping courage from a crystal cup
He's a man in the wrong with a gun at his head
Pushes on and now it's time to cut and run
See the man on the phone with a gun in his hand
Sipping courage from a crystal cup
He's a man in the wrong with a gun at his head
Pushes on and now it's time to cut and run
24 hrs ultrvox😑
one of best albums ever greetings from croatia
The people who clicked on dislike to this have no taste in music at all
Best Ultravox (and any song ever)
שימחק בנק בינלאומי
שימחק בנק בינלאומי
Crystal as ever ultravox 😎
I went to the Odeon in Birmingham for the Quartet tour, still my favourite gig ever! I'm 51 now, but their music is still a big part of my life.
How fortunate, I wish I'd seen them live, especially the Quartet tour.
I saw them on that tour in Boston MA, 8th row seats, but by midway people were dancing everywhere, even on stage (Band asked security to leave them be as they were not bothering the band, actually dancing around them) Fantastic show, still one of the bets concerts I have ever seen, top 3 easily.
This is by far one of the best songs about Suicide ever made.
A-MEN! Rage in Eden + Quartet = Timeless classics
I'm 18, my dad introduced me to this 3 years ago, I didn't know that the album quartet was on youtube. Thanks a lot for posting. I love ultra vox a lot. Even in France we love old rock music ! ;)
great song love the piano and nice guitar
Thanks for posting. This takes me back. Great music
signed his farewell with a squeeze of his hand.
It's been 30 years (i'm 14) My dad introduced me to this and I like it more than the S**t that is on now a days
the most upbeat song about suicide!!!
In my opinion, Ultravox's best Midge Ure era song. The agonies of a man contemplating suicide.
I'm getting this album ASAP
- If you don`t like this music, you not know what quality music is ! I love this band aqnd music !
- I love this song, ultravox is one, of my absolut favor. I`m 30 years male !
@connieplankghost Indeed ...I saw then in concert way back in 1982 and was focused on Warrens drumming and the way his body seemed so in sync with the drums... like they were as one .He's the master of drum machine technology and as he said himself recently , the equipment on stage now doesn't need to be as big as it was back then .
@connieplankghost Well, Warren Cann is a pioneer in Drums programming and his musical ideas were ahead of the time when Systems of Romance and Vienna were Released. And Billy Currie knows very well how to Rock with Keys and Fiddles.
@luxyaltz219 Sometimes you can´t tell when it´s a Drum-Machine and when it isn´t. Mr. Cann is Amazing.
my favorite, dense and enigmatic lyrics
Great track ... warenns drumming so tight ...
awesome new wave post punk love the drumsticks
A gift for all the voxes out there. We're still running from the hounds of cruddy modern music.
Not heard this one before.Good track!
Thanks for putting it back on - one of my favorites by Uvox:)
