Warning sign
Put these thoughts out of your mind
Round here you keep your wits about you
Everybody says so
Hopelessness sits on a stool in the corner
Everybody says so
Round here you learn things parrot fashion
Everybody says so
And they give you stupid stuff to spend your cash on
Everybody says so
Warning signal
Warning sign
Put these thoughts out of your mind
Round here you keep your wits about you
Everybody says so
‘Cause hopelessness sits on a stool in the corner
Everybody says so
The fear lights up your featureless face
Everybody says so
Send the plagues round to this place
Everybody says so
Warning signal
Warning sign
Put these thoughts out of your mind
The tears light up your beautiful face
Everybody says so
Send the plagues down to this place
Everybody says so
Round here there’s nothing to fear
Everybody says so
We’ll sit right here ‘til our arses disappear
Yeah everybody says that round here
Around here
La la la la la la la la la la la

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.

Swan Songs

Honestly it's so hard picking one favourite off this album, every song is as good as the last, and the flow to it is perfect. Organ Donor is going to have to be it though, because I heard it back before this album was released, live, and spent ages trying to find it. Absolute belter!
