lyrics

All I have is words, words that don't obtain | And I feel I'm a stain on your horizon | So I stay away - it's easier that way | And there won't be no-one I need to rely on | Is it him, is it me | Or is there something only I can see | How did I get here, why do we blow around like straw dogs on the breeze | I'm a special one - what they used to say | But I've to stay on, finish levels-A | You don't need exams when you've read John Gray | But you look like you know the way to stop these colours turning into grey | All my brilliant friends stuck in shitty jobs | All the lizard men inheriting the earth | Nature's gonna get you, nature's gonna get you | We don't have much time | They can't hear you Sarah, I can't see you now sir | Here comes wintertime, comedown in our prime | Just as you get started, everyone you trusted ready for the new wave | Ready for the new wave

Crush Crusher
by IAN SWEET

A crushingly good record. Guitar textures to die for, melodic and harmonic choices that reveal new continents of musical possibility, songs to save your life. Vanilla Swingers

Render Another Ugly Method
by Mothers

Mothers are the best live band around and this is their best record. Cold and forbidding at first but stick with it and be rewarded. Vanilla Swingers
