Somewhere in Italy
03:53
|
|||
|
I went into Europe
To see what I could do
But I could not do all that much
Because I died fifty years ago
You see
I'm a ghost
Oh yes
Somewhere in Italy
And when the need arises
And someone is in trouble
I can't do anything
Because I am not there
If only I hadn't lit that match
Down that coal mine I might still be alive
I did put two plus two together
But I came out with five (and third degree burns (and I was dead))
So when a person comes along
And says "Help, I need cash"
I long to rush across
But with no legs I cannot dash
The way some people stop and stare
And pet dogs and cats bark
I swear that they can see me
And then they walk straight through me
It never hurts (I wish it would hurt (but it doesn't))
Blood never spurts (I have no blood you see)
And I go shopping (but only window shopping)

Hudson's Fig
Look at that pig
Hudson's Fig
Isn't it big
Can't you see
You're looking at me
Hudson's Fig
What a good pig
Yes, Hudson's Fig is a very big pig
He can crash through a tree just like it's a twig
He's travelled the world but will always love Brigg
What a marvellous pig is Hudson's Fig
From an oil rig to a whirligig
As fit as a sprig on a thingamajig
Ladies and gentlemen I present to you the world's best pig
It's Hudson's Fig

Sunset of my life
02:38

In the morning of the evening of the sunset of my life
As the dawn was gently screaming while I cut it with my knife
I was relishing the harm my deed had done
Now the morning of the evening will not come
When the day is breaking through the window of my lover's eye
Though the suffering means nothing to me I begin to cry
I'll defenestrate the world just to get on
Still the morning of the evening will not come
In the morning
In the morning
It was your mistake to trust me just because I shook your hand
All those promises I made to you were written in the sand
I won't hesitate to drop you when we're done
And the morning of the evening will not come
Yes the morning of the evening will not come

Inventor
We've come for your machine
We need it for a just cause
We need it for our wars
You will surrender
You must comply
Or you will suffer

Sea Song

I was a sailor
In a party of five
The ship was a failure
We were hardly alive
Then we saw our saviour
The most beautiful thing
On our best behaviour
We let it begin
Out of the danger
We started to fight
The friends became strangers
A peculiar sight
If we hadn't been rescued
We wouldn't be here
And I don't know about you
That's my greatest fear
Why did we go to sea?
Remember me, remember me

Tundra Cats Brighton, UK

LAMINATE PET ANIMAL
by SNOWMINE
This is the first in a series of weekly album reviews published by Andrew Dubber. If you haven’t already caught it, please check out his introductory post. There’s been talk of an 80s revival of one sort or another since long before the 80s even came to an end. Some long for the angular rhythms … Continue reading Album of the Week: Laminate Pet Animal →

Drawing on everything from soft-focus C86 like The Field Mice to distortion-heavy shoegaze, “Eulogies” is pop perfection.
