Lyrics

Hold Back the Night

I want to walk Into the light Day has turned cold So hold back the night What will become Of you and I We had a dream Don't let it die Do you want to be Do you want to be My dying day My darkest hour My overdose 'Cause that's what you'll be Just hold back the night There was a time I'm sure you'll agree We saw it all A glorious sight Everyone's burned Everythings's gone What we once were Now we are not So hold back the night

Kate Nash has paid tribute to Sinéad O'Connor with a reworked version of 'Famine'

The cover carries personal weight through Nash's dual British-Irish heritage. And a tin whistle.
