lyrics
She gives her house a brutal cleaning
Exhaustion gives her life a meaning
There’s ratpack claptrap on daytime TV
Its repackaged cool for everybody
While we sing a song
We sing a song
We sing a song
The craze that never caught on
We sing a song
We sing a song
We sing a song
The craze that never caught on
And they’re down below and they’re trying to talk us down
There’s bits of dinner on his face
He wears it well
Full of grace
But when he thinks there’s no one looking
He grabs the drip tray and starts drinking
While we sing a song
We sing a song
We sing a song
The craze that never caught on
We sing a song
We sing a song
We sing a song
The craze that never caught on
And they’re down below and they’re trying to talk us down
And then they meet and it just works
Banish the dark where the nightmare’s lurk
In every moment, hidden pearls
Shut your curtains
Forget the world
And they’re down below and they’re trying to talk us down
Exhaustion gives her life a meaning
There’s ratpack claptrap on daytime TV
Its repackaged cool for everybody
While we sing a song
We sing a song
We sing a song
The craze that never caught on
We sing a song
We sing a song
We sing a song
The craze that never caught on
And they’re down below and they’re trying to talk us down
There’s bits of dinner on his face
He wears it well
Full of grace
But when he thinks there’s no one looking
He grabs the drip tray and starts drinking
While we sing a song
We sing a song
We sing a song
The craze that never caught on
We sing a song
We sing a song
We sing a song
The craze that never caught on
And they’re down below and they’re trying to talk us down
And then they meet and it just works
Banish the dark where the nightmare’s lurk
In every moment, hidden pearls
Shut your curtains
Forget the world
And they’re down below and they’re trying to talk us down

Fantastic record from start to finish, one of the best releases in recent years, and quickly became one of my personal favourites. I love this album so much that I keep a physical copy on display in my home.
