MODERN IDOLS 04:10
lyrics
buy track
Plastic is all that you are From your botoxed face to your maxed-out cards Dredging the depths of this weight-bearing back-breaking Scene that conceived you from defective parts No! Don't speak of humility Perched on your altar of discarded charms Selling the sermons of unholy privilege That keeps us a lifetime of labour apart You Modern Idols Are well-deserving of a strangulation I'd have to set you on fire to warm to you Too many pictures Of the brain-dead heralds of a half-corpse culture How can we trust our eyes when Every true man's apparel fits your thief? Substance is all that you aren't Think 'Fifty Shades' meets 'Atlas Shrugged' Born for the rot of a phone-hacking tabloid Somewhere between astrology and sports Fuck! Award ceremonies Elitist parades of absolute twats Cue imitation dead princess's carcass Pulled from the wreckage to dress the red carpet You Modern Idols Are well-deserving of a strangulation I'd have to set you on fire to warm to you Too many pictures Of the brain-dead heralds of a half-corpse culture How can we trust our eyes when Every true man's apparel fits your thief? I solemnly swear I'm down for a global purge of celebrities I want to be the one to end the Royal Family I solemnly swear I'm down for a global purge of celebrities I want to be the one to end the Royal Family You Modern Idols Are well-deserving of a strangulation I'd have to set you on fire to warm to you Too many pictures Of the brain-dead heralds of a half-corpse culture How can we trust our eyes when Every true man's apparel fits your thief?

FOUNTAINHEAD 03:46
lyrics

All I know is I know nothing at all Maybe I don't even know that I've got more out of semaphore Than twenty years of books and maps I'm sick of the disconnect between the thoughts I think And the world that informs them Tied up in knots! Looks like the well's dried up And I'm at the bottom In darkened rooms I choke as I breed old words with brand new faces When will this fountainhead drown me out? In darkened rooms I choke as I breed old words with brand new faces When will this fountainhead drown me out? A little learning is a dangerous thing Too much a sceptic to deny possibilities Split-tongue double-speak belies The drop in the river that dies for happiness I'm sick of the disconnect between the thoughts I think And the world that aborts them Tied up in knots! Looks like the well's a flood And I'm at the bottom In darkened rooms I choke as I breed old words with brand new faces When will this fountainhead drown me out? In darkened rooms I choke as I breed old words with brand new faces When will this fountainhead drown me out? We wash down our truths like gold Until there's nothing left to hold But these shallow draughts intoxicate the brain So I'll drink until I'm sober again A Tree Grew Through Me Tore me from the stone You can only fear What you think you know A Tree Grew Through Me Tore me from the stone You can only fear What you think you know

Won't you spare some change? So I can afford some rope 'Cause there's a cost to living And I am fucking broke! We've taken the Sertra-line to town And like a stray I'm taken to the pound I'd kill a man for thirty silver pieces And bomb the banks for my own personal reasons You can't take me anywhere I'm under-dressed and ill-prepared Throwing up more than I care Oh! You can't trust me anyway I'm unemployed and sleep all day Giving up on minimum wage Oh! I'll sooner be dead than paying a pension When my loans are getting all the attention And half these dismal high streets have shut down Only thieves and meth dealers hanging around I'd give my soul for a couple pints of lager And sell coat-hangers to expectant fathers You can't take me anywhere I'm under-dressed and ill-prepared Throwing up more than I care Oh! You can't trust me anyway I'm unemployed and sleep all day Living it up on minimum wage Oh!

I'm led to believe you dream of machines By every model you've put yourself in And I'm wondering which of you is the real thing The frown I know or the smile in the selfies? You can't keep your concentration When you've got some hardcore pixel action Abandon every conversation Sending hearts to friends in other locations The Static Grows 'Cause you can't put down your phone When it all goes black you're left Staring at your face in the screen The Static Grows 'Cause you can't put down your phone When it all goes black you're left All alone You're not alive When you're not online Standby! You're not alive When you're not online Standby! You've say you've done things I wouldn't believe When you've been living them vicariously The Static Grows 'Cause you can't put down your phone When it all goes black you're left Staring at your face in the screen The Static Grows 'Cause you can't put down your phone When it all goes black you're left All alone I know nothing about the Information Age Though I am aware you only are what you share Well I'd love to connect with you So here's another email you won't bother replying to You're incomplete And I'm obsolete You're incomplete And I'm obsolete The Static Grows 'Cause you can't put down your phone When it all goes black you're left Staring at your face in the screen The Static Grows 'Cause you can't put down your phone When it all goes black you're left All alone

MAGDALENE 03:31

'Send me letters Senseless letters I'll receive with Strange delight' She's so tired Always tired! Sleeps on train tracks By my side 'I'm all yours' A Magdalene twitch-of-the-skirt by the ossuary 'I'm all yours' A Magdalene twitch-of-the-skirt by the ossuary 'I'm all yours' A Magdalene twitch-of-the-skirt by the ossuary 'Write me Into your diary Wrong me I don't mind!' Threadbare patches On her pillow Fresh incisions Every night 'Stitch me up now Broken needle My décor is Not your type' 'I'm all yours' A Magdalene twitch-of-the-skirt by the ossuary 'I'm all yours' A Magdalene twitch-of-the-skirt by the ossuary 'I'm all yours' A Magdalene twitch-of-the-skirt by the ossuary 'Write me Into your diary Wrong me I don't mind!' Out of the woods but close to the shoreline Is where you found me Out of the woods but close to the shoreline Is where you found me Under the waves and close to the drowning Is where you found me Under the waves and close to the drowning Is where you found me
