By the Throat Lyrics

Bad blood and no holds barred
A warning shot, a sacrifice that we made

You know, you know, you know, you know that you go to far
You know, you know, you know, you know that you go to far

Waste of time or waste of fear?
Do it again, again until you unfocus them away

You know, you know, you know, you know that you go to far
You know, you know, you know, you know that you go to far

All that's golden is never real
And I won't play fair with you this time
All that's golden is never sold
And I'll be thankful when you let go

You know, you know, you know, you know that you go to far
You know, you know, you know, you know that you go to far

With teeth we've come this far
I'll take this thing By the Throat and walk away

You know, you know, you know, you know that you go to far
You know, you know, you know, you know that you go to far

Remember me as I will you
Honesty will wreck this point that we made

You know, you know, you know, you know that you go to far
You know, you know, you know, you know that you go to far

All that's golden is never real
And I won't play fair with you this time
All that's golden is never sold
And I'll be thankful when you let go

You know, you know, you know, you know that you go to far
You know, you know, you know, you know that you go to far

Taking over parts of mine
That I will pay for every time

If I could catch you and cut your ties
I would leave you, every time

All that's golden is never real
And I won't play fair with you this time
All that's golden is never sold
And I'll be thankful when you let go

You know, you know, you know, you know that you go to far
You know, you know, you know, you know that you go to far

By the Throat

This track had to be rush-recorded in a motel room in El Paso, Texas. "It was like a 115°F [46°C] outside so we had to turn the air conditioning off so we could actually record the microphones, and it just got unbelievably hot," the band's Iain Cook told BBC's Newsbeat.

"Maybe that was helpful though, to enhance our performance," singer Lauren Mayberry added.

Mayberry told Coup De Main magazine this is her favorite track on The Bones of What You Believe. She explained: "It was the last, last one we finished to go on the record - we didn't know if it was going to make it or if we were going to save it for something else. I think it probably represents for me where the band is at best, the sounds and the lyrics and the production feels to me, the most Chvrches song on it. It's got a nice bitter sweetness to it, which I think sums up where we're at."
