    p.s. a jacked laptop means this record will only ever exist in 160 kbps mp3 GOLD. so don't bother with bandcamp's fancy FLAC formatting. hand-painted repro of a photocopy... but that don't matter, music's music.

Track Name: radio GENERATION
radio generation
the writing is on the wall
you lost your media
but your message about to fall

you hold the power
you hold it in your hands
you can write a new prophet
you can send him out across the land

teach him to dance

radio generation
they amputate your ears
so blinded by the pain now
you forgot you couldn't hear

but wipe away your tears now
open up back your eyes
it's a brand new world around you
you'll need to see to survive

you don't need to lose your heart
you don't need to lose your way
you don't need to lose your heart
you don't need to lose your say
Track Name: get IT
you looked like an orphan child
you looked like a jesus christ i swear to god
you looked like a mountain range
or like a lighthouse
in the dark
you looked like the future
to these tired eyes
but no no no
your looks they do deceive

because you got the walls for skin
you got the walls ten feet deep

you hold like an animal
like an animal scared
of winter coming round the bend
you hold like a card player
from downtown
you hold like a pirate
or like a ten ton safe
you hold hold hold
up like the best of them

you can hold up like a bridge now
but you hold back just like a dam

i know
you're going to get it
you're going to get it someday
no no
don't you sweat it
don't you sweat it no way

you got the oracle eyes
you got your ears
cleaned out real good
you got numbers like a phone book
you got mine
you got mine (number)
you got yourself a notion
that i was a cutter
well you cut them down
pretty good yourself

you got nine chambers
you got nine locked doors around your heart

i know you're going to get it...
Track Name: salt ON the FIELDS
you are a gleaming skeleton
now that you've bleached clean all your bones
they shine white like the snow
white white like the snow

no flesh to weigh you down
you can just go and go
down the golden road
down your golden road

we salted all your fields
but somehow still they grow
but you broke through all the steal
saying "let my people go"

wooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
(apologies to the atlanta braves)

now that you are a feather
there's no reason you shouldn't float
down the open road
down the open road

but i should've seen it coming
oh yes i should've known
a long long time ago
a long long time ago

i laugh when they look me in the eye
but still it chills me right down to the bone
right before i die
cut them all free
and try to save my soul
Track Name: phantom LIMB
they only had time for each other
they never had time for anyone else
they never gave it to the others
they only saved it for themselves

they never had time for each other
they only had time for everyone else
they only saved it for the others
never kept any for themselves

++++++++++

so you think you can dance?
so you wanna step to the champ?
well get in the ring and take your chance
but there'll be no one waiting around for you once you're done

(once you're done, no one waiting for you once you're done)

so you wanna go it alone,
find your own way back home?
well what if the bastards moved the yellow stones
that you left behind to find your way?

(like in Labyrinth, when the Bowie's evil henchmen flip around the tiles with the lipstick arrows on them so she can't find her way back...)

in the night i still feel my phantom limb
i still laugh and talk and think all about him
when i die, let her know alongside my next of kin
my phantom limb, my phantom limb

there's a line-up of young people behind the house who loved you just like me
i once laughed at them but now they're my company
when did this happen? i didn't even quite see
you getting away like a jackal in the night

(jackal in the night, jackal in the night)

i kept talking after the phone was disconnected
i kept going for one or two or three minutes
we all seen the town chump, well now i've been it
just wear my sad hat and push my cart around

in the night i still feel my phantom limb....
Track Name: gold BOUND
golden bound
we servants in the night
as you curl into the box
i'll wrap you in cloth
just like you did for me when i was small

casket and womb
are really the same room
just mirrors that's all
when you're weak, i'll be tall
i got you just like you had me

comfort and shelter
from the wind and the rain
out into the night i go gathering
just to bring it all on back to you again

ain't nobody canna ever gonna mess with this
ain't nobody canna ever gonna mess with this

in growing flashes
we slowly divine
just how much
we carry each other
through the stormy sea

pulled up by a wave
just for an instant
dark sky and lightning
white crests forever
see the whole storm just for what it is

into the deep blue below
pulled like a stone back down
all quiet murky and soundless
all obscure all around

ain't nobody canna ever gonna mess with this
ain't nobody canna ever gonna mess with this
Track Name: song 4 ARTHUR (cc: my bones)
i'll follow arthur
up into the clouds
and turn all my shame
into a trampo
into a golden trampoline

and my voice
my voice half-woman
will come back down
and dance circles round you all

and break your heart break your heart
like a running bride

this plague on the quiet ones
this blight on all the delicate flowers
where did all the faeries go?
look at how you see my bones

see my bones
cc: my bones

and when i waste
when i waste away
to a wisp of smoke
i'll float up and out

out through the windown
and into the sky
up into the sky

and my body
my body will become a cloud
malleable and changing
an inkblot that you shape with your mind

i will live on
i will live on
a ghost in the sky
a ghost-ghost in the sky

this plague on all the quiet ones....
Track Name: the 2-STEP
two steps back
i can't shake this feeling
that we won't get back
all the things we're leaving
so please step back
you're too close to the edge now

you say, "you'll never know
what you could've been son
the places that you'd go
the things that you could've done"
but what would you throw
away to have no regrets? hmmm?

i don't want any more part
of all your cynical grab games
i don't want any more part
you can count me out now

get right out
we're busting out of here
we'll kick and shout
until we're in the clear
but inside out
they could never recognize

oh i don't want any more part
of all your cynical grab games
i don't want any more part
yeah you can count me out now
you can count me out now

oh me oh my
i'll see you again on the other side
in the place where we BOTH shine

close your mouth
there's blood on your teeth
you can spit it out
but you'll never wipe them clean
so just come out
and show us who you REALLY are

i don't want any more part....

ooh girl
you can't stop
celebration
it feels alright

the music's got me feeling so down
so come and celebrate with frowns
the music's got me feeling alone
so come and dance it out your bones

in this moment
i can feel it
it's inside of me
in this moment
i can feel it
i believe

oh i believe
Track Name: ukUUU
uk-uuu-le-lee
you've done gone left me
you've run someplace far, someplace free
in pieces, in peace
all smashed on the streets
could you be?
where could you be?

oh oh oh

my heart was a box
it's down by the rocks
beat blood, make thud sound
it does not
for this you will rot
yours soon will be got
gone but not
no not forgot

oh oh oh

(mama suko mayo
tree, ice, hashish, horse)
