LYRICS
Boats ease into the harbor bearing real suspicious cargo
And the sunlight on the water sets a switch off in your brain
The things that you've got coming will consume you
There's someone waiting out there in an alley with a chain
The ghosts that haunt your building are prepared to take on substance
And the dull pain that you live with isn't getting any duller
There's a closet full of almost pristine videotapes
Documenting sordid little scenes in living color
Here they come
The young thousands
Here they come
The young thousands
You drive east from the ocean with both hands tied on the wheel
And you go past Garden Grove as the pleasure index rises
The things that you've got coming will do things that you're afraid to
There is someone waiting out there with a mouthful of surprises, hey!
The ghosts that haunt your building have been learning how to breathe
They scan the hallways nightly, vainly searching for a sign
There must be diamonds somewhere in a place that stinks this bad
There are brighter things than diamonds coming down the line
Here they come
The young thousands
Here they come
The young thousands
Thank you
John Wurster, do you like dogs?
(I love dogs)
The song is about a dog
It's called Corsican Mastiff Stride (woof! Woof!)

Probably my favorite song from the JLS that I had not heard before. And John plus the band performs it so emotionally. 10/10!

Not sure you folks from the band read comments but I’d be happy beyond words to see you play: Choked Out & Andrew Eldritch Is Moving Back to Leeds ❤️
