tonight we fuck or we can fight admit defeat i know you're right and through these battered streets we crawl afraid to stand on blistered feet in case we fall we're so messed up help us out? oh i have seen the light
2.
for all the uninitiated for all you fuckers that i've hated for those doing it for the kids (that's if the money's there) you're so righteous i won't ask, i won't beg for all the celebrated virgins and for those of us still whoring ourselves so are you uninitiated and are you sick of simply hating? i won't ask, i won't beg it's not a question of what you are it's the realisation of what you're not

Chic 02:19
they'll break their own hearts trying if you leave them long enough they've got the bases covered they don't need assistance she's dead set on romance the black and white movie kind complete with 1950's chic i get caught up on what i could have been he treats courtship like some kind of battlefield not content unless he's knee-deep in bodies so if love is war then i've killed ten times or more and i'd kill again i get caught up on what i could have been i get caught
4.
red hair and good legs and a dirty mouth, so i'm interested we dance like vultures and you tell me that i'm damned now you're a time bomb baby i don't remember this place but i'm fucking curious so i take you home and i bathe yr skin and i clear my throat if the sins of the flesh are just sins of lust then i'm going to hell i don't remember this place but i'm fucking curious i'm going to hell for the things i've done
5.
Trisexual 02:22
was i wrong to ask you for you i would declare for you i'd lose it all did i use the right words or was i wrong to say and now i won't shut up i need to know you're there i need to know and that song was subtle man, i could still hear the heart strings snapping out of time and if i ask for answers and you don't don't say no i would give myself i need to know you're there i need to know i need to know
6.
i'll hunt you down play in your blood when simple pleasures just aren't enough i spit on the past and i reject the future communication: it holds no worth now simple pleasures just don't exist i spit on the past and i reject the future i'll hunt you down play in your blood
7.
there was a darkness it froze my soul and in that moment it changed us all you were so vicious i felt so scared the way you kicked him and made him beg rain will wash these fucking streets clean i thought i saw you around the town your hair is short now, your knuckles bruised you say you hate them that they are scum that they should go home or else they're fucked rain will wash these fucking streets clean
8.
The Colossus 03:21
the night is hot as hell when in a crowded bar you feel it racing through your bones and out the clothes you wear watch the lights go out watch the lights go out my words are meaningless i'm sick of saying this the crowd is baying for my blood with pride i spit the lines out i'm on fire now son i'm on fire now you can't understand the pressure you can't understand it all you move your hands away and mutter something else about a time, a place, a name, a face i don't remember watch the lights go out watch the lights go you can't understand the pressure you can't understand at all
9.
we drove for hours from the city lights to parts unknown we left our families and homes we traveled far with heavy hearts and ended up in little towns mostly forgotten by the world we slept in bars and cars and corridors with new found friends we ate their food and stole their wine it was a saturday the frost lay heavy on the ground you said you wanted to go back I know you better than that we traveled back along the mountains in the freezing cold we thought that surely we would die i phoned my mother and i cried and told her that i loved her she did not understand my words it's like you're talking in a foreign language that you've learned i cannot understand you boy you said, perhaps we should have sex to keep our bodies warm but i just couldn't get it up i know you better than that

about

Recorded at the start of 2011 with Gareth Burke, partially in a studio and partially in his bedroom in Cardiff (at the time), plans for the album were cancelled when we started winding down the band.

Some tracks were given away for free at our last gig, however this is the first time it's been released in it's intended running order.
