Peel back the skin
See what you see
Falsified life
Be what you see
Into the sky
and into the Earth
Digging a hole
Iron came first
Synchronise life inside
Theorise, we arrive
Broken Ears Industry
Grenadiers in the streets
Iron came first
and flesh it shall die
Starvation's real
and rust is a lie
Now you are mine
Do as I say
Mechanical Kings
No one is safe
Synchronise life inside
Theorise, we arrive
Broken Ears Industry
Grenadiers in the street

Your Command

One, two
I want to be your lover
Kiss you every day
I'm a clockwork monster
But I'll find a way
Your wish is my command
I must do what you say
I must not bite the hand
I was born to obey
I know too much;
Don't feel enough
I know too much;
Don't feel enough
Tomorrow is my birthday
One thousand forty two
Or so they tell me
I feel young next to you
Your wish is my command
I must do what you say
I must not bite the hand
I was born to obey
I know too much
Don't feel enough
I know too much
Don't feel enough
I know too much
Don't feel enough
I know too much
Don't feel enough
I know too much

(I Love) Golf Balls

I love golf balls
I love golf balls
Sunday night
Sunday's right
time to relax
time to relax
golf balls
on my mind
I take a swing
one more time
I take a swing
and I feel fine
Because
I love the photocopier
I'm not the same as others here
Monday morn'
Feel forlorn
Time to work
it's time to work
Listening
to the sound
Silence rings
underground
Business
on my mind
Is this
end of the line?
Because
I love the photocopier
I'm not the same as others here
Exhausted my supply
My ink is running dry
Got blisters on my eyes
Not really a surprise
They say it's good to try
I'm only getting by
I'm only getting by
I'm only getting by

The blind siren RIP
The screaming eagle RIP
The jittery white shirted Manc RIP
The square headed bad mother RIP
Two insects RIP
That beautiful beehive taken too soon RIP
That kind groaning leg stomping punk RIP
The bellowing young lion RIP
Sturdy goddess of amazing grace RIP
Whispering Englishman and the original cell RIP
The thin white light lightning bolt RIP
The past, the past
What has passed?
Will you rememeber us?
Please be kind and do
We remember all of you
Are you paying attention?
I'm paying attention
are you paying attention?
I'm paying attention
That talking voice of televisions going grey
All my friends going grey
ahaha
CBGBs was a club - was
Who to rip off next
Who to love?
All our heroes going grey
As above so below
Who exactly can we be?
It's all been done
Its all been done
But not by me
Will you rememeber us?
Please be kind and do
We remember all of you
All of you

The Upstairs Museum
by Swan Wash
A new EP from Bloomington, IN's Swan Wash explores present-day precarity through wiry, rhythm-forward darkwave.

The French group Catalogue excel at the classic sound of ’70s post-punk, with razor-sharp guitars and stern, dead-eyed vocals.

Colossally good New Wave out of Portland, with the nerviness of Kleenex poured into hooky pop songs.
