Dead Buttons II 05:13
lyrics
buy track
Do you want to be born? You may have second thoughts The dice rolled, the people spake We'll honour any decision you make Because we have drapes We have plans Lamplight and oil cans But it's a long haul back to green lands You need to have Dead buttons Dead buttons You need a something For their nothing Realize just saying 'they' Is much too Much too vague So ask yourself Who do you employ? Is it fair to Their girls and boys? Well, do you hope That you won't Be the one to hold the rope? Cos a knock will come Unless you elope Disconnect Dead buttons Dead buttons We have something For their nothing I'd love to feel revolution grow inside me But it's your choice It's your choice I'd love to feel revolution grow inside me But it's your choice It's your choice We are the resistance, but we need more We are the resistance, but we need more Consider Dead triggers Dead buttons Approach with vigour All their nothings Nurture your Dead buttons

The Jurisdiction Of Pesh 05:11
lyrics

It’s so easy To be profound when the good times are rolling Would you tease me If I said I was feeling as thick as shit right now? But I don’t need to know the way Of life for me to get by I cannot hope to understand And that’s why I’ll be alright Well, I’m reeling Laughter is in my ears and in my eyes And I’m feeling This feeling won’t last til the good times are rolling Dragons on the motorway Trolls in the parking bay Jogging for a knighthood And that’s why I choose today Between the links Of my chainmail I am out of my element Out of my rule Thank goodness for that Your protection’s no protection at all Your armour is no armoured wall You think you are a warrior But your home is exposed Vines, they overgrow Overrun your calm So discard your arms And follow

Happened 03:32
lyrics

Five of them killers Five of them floods Split my body Split me like a glove And that’s what happened That is that And in those rooms I sat Index Look up seven years Middle All those holiday tears I traced a ring around a mountain top And the little’s near gone And that’s what happened That is that And in those rooms I sat Five of them black dogs Five I should throw out The last has my thumb tip Clamped in its red mouth I’ll take her in And that’s what happened That is that And in those rooms I sat

The Noise Is Coming (punchupnotdown) 04:45
lyrics

"Excuse me while I point this out, but we eat no lean Package deals to Magaluf to make your heels green" Said this angry man I don't hear this thug I'm only here to Buy a set of earplugs "Dumptruck hospitals lit by flashbulb interest Strip down the strip lights, strip away the guests" Says this angry blog Shakes my hand I'm only here to Buy a box of sand Because "The noise is coming" "The noise is coming" (one note) "The noise is coming" "The noise is coming" (and we shall not go) Trouble where it doesn't belong Everybody lost before they won Don't bask in the rays of the sun Trouble is back until it's gone Back and gone (back and gone) Back and gone (back and gone) Back and gone (back and gone) The sun began it all And "The noise is coming" "The noise is coming" (one note) We are all immigrants from somewhere water-bound And they are all invaders running you into the ground Until we punch up Please stop punching down I cannot stand to hear That crushing, crunching sound Oh "The noise is coming" "The noise is coming" (one note) "The noise is coming" "The noise is coming" (and we will not go) Trouble where it doesn't belong Everybody lost before they won Don't bask in the rays of the sun Trouble is back until it's gone Effervescent girls are trying hard Bullish boys rage playing the part If they peter out when the meter sounds At least they're writing it down "The noise is coming" / Back and gone (back and gone) "The noise is coming" / Back and gone (back and gone) "The noise is coming" / Back and gone (back and gone) "The noise is coming" / Back and gone (back and gone)

Drops 04:44
lyrics

Hail, hail Everywhere hail Frozen flood Deathly exhale Every drop that dripped onto me Did a little damage And now all I want is to be repaired In the cherry stone of the night Hot memories of cold skin, tight Was I pushed into the slew? Or walked without what I knew? Because all I want is to be repaired I don’t know anything I don’t know anything at all Every drop that dripped onto me Did a little damage And now all I want is to be repaired All I want is to be repaired

Dead Buttons 03:06
lyrics

I stay in You go out And I’m always Roundabout You come home Blinking refuse I come home Just to see it’s not you What you see is not what you see Or own Begone Do it I go out You stay in And there's barely Any difference So set me off You’ll see traffic lights Safe to go Only when I decide Cos what you see is not what you see Or own Begone At any given crossroads At any given time You say you got the ticket But the tricky don't lie Bring him back alive And bring him back weak The road is narrow And you don't fit me At any given crossroads At any given time You say you've got it busy But the dizzy can't lie Bring him back weak You can’t hack me You’re pushing Dead buttons
