Halcyon Days

Why can’t we sleep on aeroplanes?
I’m mixing beer and valium
Management call the cavalry
Our Ryan’s over Kazakhstan
Halcyon days got me a sip and gone away
Why don’t we feel safe anywhere?
I’m calling prayers into the void
Got our PDs in a rented splitter van
A family room at Travelodge
Come here son
Guess all isn't just what it seems in all you believe of us
Why can’t we sleep on aeroplanes?
We’re going to Australia
Coatbridge a distant memory
Our band is over Kazakhstan

Monster Machines

Feeling like crushed up shoulders and teeth
Propping up original conspiracies and startups, criminality
Save yourselves from monster machines
Leave the computers
Sometimes I wish I lived my life in forests making fire
It’s insane at the airport
You can’t defeat it
You can’t defeat them

Super Death Rainbow
03:31
|
|||
|
Fantasy conceptual outlines like a super death rainbow
Noisy shouts incomplete and in abundance
(concertina, grand piano)
It’s quarrelsome and boisterous noise
and you’re never free of this fucking thing
Climbed to see what’s left for me
Top of the mountainside
No heroes welcome, just lightning

Somersaults
02:12
|
|||
|
Starting fires up a tree
At the West end park in Coatbridge
Burning sugar, feeling free
Up with the spiders and bees
Burning sugar and Lynx Africa
Somersaults!
Starting fires in Coatbridge
And some cunt has called the police
For stealing cuantro
Desperately trying to get fireworks from spar
Via Pablo! Via Pablo! For tennents supers

They're so fly and oversized
And woah, we’re out our minds
But a line was crossed when you touched Miller's face
We have to carve out our piece of the earth, a piece of the earth is gone
Out to fight the other side
They’re drinking piss in pints
And a raucous noise was brought in Drumpellier
Can you make it better at home?
We are home.
And it starts when we tear that club apart
A misanthropic call to arms…and make the advertiser!
Took too far when you broke that rugby man’s jaw
The Battle of North Lanarkshire
