Smell the blood upon the wind, Grade and Powell made a kill Stalked their prey and brought it down, in Coronation Street they found A predator to pick the bones, they ridiculed and then disowned Executive decisions trap, it’s TV wasteland, long way back If we fight like animals we die like animals x2 There are worlds out there, where the sky is burning And the sea’s asleep and the rivers dream People made of smoke, cities made of song Somewhere there’s danger, or injustice Somewhere else, the tea’s getting cold When we re-watch the end today, just like the youth club things have changed We still enjoy but miss the glee, in childhood’s safe warm memories The animals that killed our show, ripped from us our great hero Despite old wounds from eager claws, we lost the battle, won the war If we fight like animals we die like animals x2 There are worlds out there, where the sky is burning And the sea’s asleep and the rivers dream People made of smoke, cities made of song Somewhere there’s danger, or injustice Somewhere else, the tea’s getting cold Come on Ace we’ve got work to do x4 Come on Ace we’ve got work to do-oo-oo-oo-ooooo

Blue Space 03:37
lyrics

Crush the spirit with officious gimmicks Pray to your leaders for blessing and merit Contact broken is dull placation A fuzzy meaningless nothing workstation There is safety in anonymity Neuter all bonding capacity Banned in favour of efficiency Evolution sacrifices intimacy Blue Space - fills our vision Blue Space - total inhibition Blue Space - kills interaction Blue Space - social putrefaction Vocal castration brings atmosphere death Dissent subdued, a purge on outlets Digression’s refuge, internalised fight Distance and obstacles sanitised Spark disconnected at your behest Divide and conquer your proud epithet Caging all lions, resigned to the circus Friendship does not sell, hence it is surplus CHOURS x2 Control. Control. Control. Control. A prisoner speaks out of line – no parole Control. Control. Control. Control. Remote ignorance to stifle our souls, yeah. These blue boards, a metaphor Absence of life, dying inside

Harriet's Got Herpes 02:02
lyrics

I know a girl called Harriet She’s loose with morals and regret Watch out lads, when she gets leathered Opens up her sleeve of wizard Heard her cocktail of infections Graced many unwary erections Trails of betrayal never end Humiliation is public revenge Harriet’s got herpes, she’s looking to tease Give her half a chance and she’ll give you t’disease Harriet’s got herpes, she won’t be appeased She’ll fuck another sucker, “here’s your S.T.D.” Hey! Harriet conceals her guilt With darkness and an unwashed quilt Pulling chumps in seedy bars Has served her pretty well thus far So men of ill repute surround her Most itch after their encounter Down at the doc’s a quick diagnosis “You’ve got herpes, crabs and syphilis” Harriet’s got herpes, she’s looking to tease Give her half a chance and she’ll give you t’disease Harriet’s got herpes, she won’t be appeased She’ll fuck another sucker, “here’s your S.T.D.” Hey! Dish it out girl, dish it out We know your dirty secret Hang about girl, hang about You can fucking keep it Harriet’s got herpes, she’s looking to tease Give her half a chance and she’ll give you t’disease Harriet’s got herpes, she won’t be appeased She’ll fuck another sucker, “here’s your S.T.D.” Hey! Repeat chorus

The Red Pills Leeds, UK

The Red Pills took their name from the 1999 movie 'The Matrix.' In one scene, Keanu Reeves' character 'Neo' is presented with a choice of pills to ingest; a red pill or a blue pill. Each is a metaphor - taking the blue pill will allow Neo to continue to live a cosy, comfortable lie. Taking the red pill will allow him to wake up to the truth. ... more
