Welcome to Birmingham, home of the Peaky Blinders, an industrial and misty city where tension and gang clashes reign, against a backdrop of social misery, smuggling, and a desire for emancipation. Like the series, this selection of tracks with rock and blues accents, weaves a heavy, powerful, determined, sometimes sorry atmosphere, evoking westerns and mafia films of the 70s. A playlist rich in saturated or psychedelic guitar riffs, that smells like whisky and hot powder.

You and I used to meet on the crowded street;
High on absinthe and all distilled so sweet.
Under a doorway lit by a single bulb:
You asked me if I could give you my love.
Sir I cannot give what I do not feel –
So don't ask and ask you wax me ill.
Yet, I should think there a girl
who might take pity on you –
Who'd love you like you know
I could never do.
Nell or Nan won't give you trouble
like you know I would;
Their love is free, which I'm sure you deserve.
Now, let's shake hands and
call ourselves “friend”.
For all things start and
all things must end.
I shall say our time together was
that most pleasant.
Remember me well and
harbor no resentment.
But why you go ‘round and say
that I have no heart?
It don't make sense
– you want what you say I ain't got.
C’mon, now, sir.
Now, I said I could not love you
and that I mean.
Ain't no man gonna put a rope around me.
Ain't no man gonna put a rope around me.
She ain't said never better wait and see.
Ain't no man gonna put a rope around me.
She ain't said never better wait and see.

Suspenseful intro of upbeat side-stick hits is joined by brooding male vocals, cool distorted guitars and atmospheric shakers, building in energy to 00:35 when powerful, confident electric guitar riffs join. Minimal, haunting bridge from 01:40 of vocal FX builds again to a heroic, determined and unstoppable final section with dramatic drums. Dark, moody and tough alternative rock with swagger.
He got a sick note, he don't need opinion, Got a policy novelty for the minions, all out. No reason to shout about it. He got new shoes, straight views, loved by legions And an ever seemingly increasing loss of reason. But hey, the world has to end some day. God bless all of you keeping account. Its about the damage limitation and the placement of doubt. Slim times for the who where? who why? Who when? And all the nonsense singing cavalries. Its your ugly word now. Conversation indicating self fulfilling prophecies, If you cannot do, then stay away from teaching. This inadequacy is spreading through genetically End the surman, put an end to these proceedings Woah woah woah woah Put an end to the proceedings

Lyrics ... Wild & fuzzy. Rock band with male singer & organ.
Good god there’s a glitch Someone threw her down the ditch With the promise of a life she didn’t have to bloody stitch Two beans to a line just to pay her way on time She should have the trappings of a life so fine They’re shooting off the rounds through the dead night Shells are raining on the souls that pray to god and ask why? But she don’t wanna fight, for her chance to breathe and be free To see the sun at first light
And when I see her eyes, I see souls afraid to go home to pray to god and ask why? But she don’t wanna fight, for her chance to breathe and be free To see the sun at first light.

Shala la la la Hold tight. Shala la la la It's gonna be alright. These days are lost and long; All things are crooked and cold; I'm itching to be numb. I don't wanna see or know. Shala la la la Hold me. Shala la la la Hold me. Let me take you into my arms; Shield you from weary and pain. Who are they who’ve not known harm? Oh love, I just can't say. Shala la la la Hold me tight Shala la la la It's gonna be alright I'll sing you a tune – When love dies in the dark. A song for those who lose; Life gone and took my spark. Shala la la la Hold me. Shala la la la Hold me. The day is lost and long; All things are crooked and cold. We’re fixing to be numb. I don't wanna see or know. Shala la la la Well it's alright. Shala la la la Get me through the night. Shala la la la It's gonna be alright. Shala la la la Hold me tight. Shala la la la Hold me tight. Shala la la la It's gonna be alright. Shala la la la It's gonna be alright.

All eyes on the prize , individualism is on the rise, got nothing left to talk about but me. How I appeal, how do I feel, shooting the schpeel, Everyday is a symptomatic narcissistic showreel for you to see. And I ask you, tell me again.
Oh boy, whats your hit count, oh girl, pout the lips out, Confront the inner fears in public. Self love is self inflicted , got myself all self addicted,
we birth the vanity republic. And I ask you, tell me again. And I ask you, when will it end. This vanity Republic This vanity Republic

Gentleman of the jury, I’m ready to confessPlease let me convince youI should be forgivenOf all of the lonely hearts I borrowedI like to return them to their rightful ownersWith just a few bruises and kinks I’m sure they can all be forgivenI’ve done a penance for each and every jurisdictionTooth for tooth, eye to eye, in final justicenow I know what it’s like to have a heart in piecesI’m not begging for sympathy, just a little releaseGentlemen of the jury hear me out And end this Suffering,
You went and pushed me over the edgeI never saw it comingYou went and pushed me over the edgeI never saw it coming Now you can blame me for all this provocationMost of them willing, covert and sometimes charming.Some of them running off the sinking shipSome are bitter sweet but you know some can really stinkMy trial, all my frequent errors in judgementWhile I’m looking for a safe place to put my heart inNow I know what it’s like to have a heart in pieces I’m not begging for sympathy, just a little releaseI never saw it coming
You went and pushed me over the edgeI never saw it comingYou went and pushed me over the edgeI never saw it coming
