about

‘The Bombay Doors’ is an ambitious and complex new pop-rock epic that delivers a definitive take on the Maximum City. Sonically rich and bursting with energy, the song tries to echo the chaos and multiplicities of Mumbai, and what it takes to survive the relentless city.

lyrics

Sometimes I love the smell of India,
But times it tries to bring me down,
I never really thought it could always,
Find more ways to make me come alive,
But believe me when I tell you it's always,
Just foreplay, the answer is survive

I can see you now,
Give me your lovers,
Give me your broken,
Give me all you'll ever know

Who dropped the bombs on us?
Not me! Oh I have not even started to fight,
Oh nothing's quite like home to us,
No fuss! Oh why, can't you hear my heart is,
Ready to fight

No I'll never leave a place to die,
No I'll never leave a place to die,
No I'll never leave a place to die,
So don't kick me out,
Don't kick me out just yet

Help me! Help me find me to my feet,
You keep showing me signs of life,
That I can never read
There'll always be enough of a doorway,
Through Bombay, do I stay or pass it by?
They're always gonna tell you an okay,
Price to pay, but the rent is much too high

I can see it now,
In front of me, people crawling,
Out from underneath the rubble,
Calm and quietly,
We raise alarm,
I can see you...

Who dropped the bombs on us?
Not me! Oh I have not even started to fight
Oh nothing's quite like home to us
No fuss! Oh why, can't you hear my heart is
Ready to fight

Won’t pass the test, wont let me out, come let me out
Give me tomorrow
