Temperature's wrong
Too much salt, too soft
Expectations
unmet and unsatisfied
Letdowns on cascade like water streaming
from papered walls intended to insulate
The glass is full, it overflows
What did you do to deserve any of this?
Smart bikes lined up
like picnic silver
Such gorgeous hair,
what charmed lives they lead
Bet they're headed for the promised Land
I'd bet they've never suffered
It ends when you end
Some things take us by surprise
Could be a failure
depending on the eyes
Could be fulfillment
depending on the eyes
Did you deserve to want not have?
Did you deserve to have not want?
Tattooed Love Boys gets all the attention on this record, but for me the real highlights are the two instrumental studies in the middle. Lydia & Crushow with its scratchy bass arpeggio intro and the soft acoustic gentleness of Not For Me, For Them. Beautiful stuff as always. Keep raising the bar y'all. endofanera
Play this album in the loudest system you can find, set to 11 and blow you and your neighbours minds. I find interchanging this with Carcass and early Killing Joke a great antidote for any niceness that creeps into my soul. pablo6580
