lyrics
THE LIONS ARE SO PROUD
I CAN'T WAIT TO
SEE YOUR FACE WHEN...
CROCODILE!
I eat the bird you know,
It was meant for you but when you froze me
I froze the bird too,
It didn't taste the same, however could it?
Plane to get the passport,
Belfast, so you can ask me to
Come to Ko-Tao, right now
Show me my dad in the sky
(THE WATER)
Reflection
(PENNY'S GOT A PACE)
And a skull where there was nothing before
(WHERE THERE WAS A FACE, AND A DATE)
It spoke,
I forgot the joke
(HA HA HA)
I'M NOT LAUGHING
Silverbacks are best, when they're dead
Ring the doorbell
Clayton you're best, when you're dead
Pass the parcel
SIMBA YOU'RE MORE THAN WHAT YOU'VE BECOME
YOU MUST TAKE YOUR PLACE IN THE
CIRCLE OF LIFE!
[Wildi:]
There's a girl in the seat in front of me
Talking about all the places you and I want to be
Outside from the wing,
Falling and fucking forget everything,
This pin's not going away
I'll keep it in my stomach
Be a ghost and just wait, just wait, just...
[Weezey:]
I'll sleep when,
When I'm gone,
When I'm gone,
Dead
[x2]
THE PRIDE IS NOW DEAD, SURRENDER!
(RINGING THE BELL, NOT HEARING, I)
Wrung it too loud, but that's how
(I'M FEELING)
I know you won't forget about breakfast
(SHOW ME MY DAD IN THE SKY)
The water
(REFLECTION)
I eat the bird you know,
Remember when I said you're a laser/electric
(UNDER THE)
I see all of you,
Dens in bed I wouldn't trade
I'll burn and ache and wait
(BLAH BLAH BLAH)
I'M NOT LAUGHING
Silverbacks are best, when they're dead
Ring the doorbell
Clayton you're best, when you're dead
Pass the parcel
[Weezey:]
I KILLED MUFASA
Treetop diesease,
The caterpillar climbs to the highest leaves
And liquifies, and bursts,
Casting it's seeds below to the earth
[Wildi:]
And win your scars, cape descend
Fair when we're...
[Lex/Hayman:]
THE GUNSHOTS ARE FUCKING SLY, GOODBYE!
THEY RIP RIGHT THROUGH THE LION'S PRIDE
ZAZU, FLY YOUR BEAK LIKE THE DUSK
AND ESCAPE FROM YOUR RIBCAGE
[Wildi:]
Scar, ashes, where I don't know I'll be
Fair when we're...
[Lex/Hayman/Weezey:]
Scar, malevolence,
Ashes is who you are,
Eyes of blood
Tell me how did you get your scar?
Released,
Thrown from a red star
Scar, it's ok,
People like you are generally too afraid,
Or too spiteful to try in case
You discover
Something you might actually like, well
I'll stay as long as you let me
4 mis-matched oddlings creating accidental jazz-emo-fidget music through the media of twiddlings, fiddlings, tapping, slapping, smacking, screaming, crooning, spooning and gittin' down on it.
Breakneck time changes, pop hooks, songs about a whole cast of characters: it's perfect. We supported these guys in Hastings last year and it was an amazing experience. 'Romance' is worth a listen too Bastard Eye Scream
Brilliantly unhinged hardcore-inspired songs that splinter expectations to smithereens with their split-second rhythm changes & wild vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 28, 2022
