“raise the dead”
that’s what they said
but we know it’s not so simple, you see
when the team
completes the dream
who will be left unseen?
when she passed away
those of us who had to stay
don’t what she’s seen in the underland
so how could we doom one of the band?
so watch out
we’ll hunt you
we’ll find your hidey-hole
we’re gonna keep running and running
till we take back what you stole
but we don’t
know what will
happen when you’re seen
so till then we will try and keep her at number 14 (higher, lower (x8))
number 14 (higher, lower (x8))
is the sun a god?
what about the peanut too?
when we’ve won this fight, do we fight them too?
but for now.
we stay
for the rest of our lives, we will know the gods are not on our side.
who’s side are they on?
who’s side are they on?
so watch out
we’ll hunt you
we’ll find your hidey-hole
we’re gonna keep running and running
till we take back what you stole
but we don’t
know what will
happen when you’re seen
so till then we will try and keep her at number 14 (higher, lower (x8))
number 14 (higher, lower (x8))
hope that we’ll see them again
in this life or another

unfair deal
03:44
|

|
and down they came
they served us all our heads
on a spike
we burnt in flame
with nothing left to do
except to die
that’s when we realised
we had an unfair deal
seeing us struggle there
she sent her lackey squid
put up a friendly front
and shake their tentacles we did
we were alone and scared
we signed an unfair deal
break away from the lies
they are as bad as he was
we said we’d fight the gods
and we meant all the gods
punch squids up in the face
tear up the unfair deal

i’ve spent ten years sitting on this floor
staring at my note filled door
looking for some way to flip you off
and I find that every year
“nothing wrong, all happy here”
so why’d you say that our fates are sealed
so give us some way of finding out
what we can do, what it’s all about
cos I’ve heard whispers on the wind
that this ain’t real, it’s for our sins
remember those who died in flame
if it’s me next, don’t forget my name
remember those who are washed away
just please make sure it’s not in vain
it’s funny how it all goes wrong
when nothing’s up, the threat is gone
the evil god has had its day
unless of course it’s not that fair
say what are you doing there?
look at how they have their fun
so give us some way of finding out
what we can do, what it’s all about
cos I’ve heard whispers on the wind
that this ain’t real, it’s for our sins
remember those who died in flame
if it’s me next, don’t forget my name
remember those who are washed away
just please make sure it’s not in vain
why are we still burning? Why are we still drowning? (x6)
so give us some way of finding out
what we can do, what it’s all about
cos I’ve heard whispers on the wind
that this ain’t real, it’s for our sins
so give us some way of finding out
what we can do, what it’s all about
cos I’ve heard whispers on the wind
that this ain’t real, it’s for our sins
remember those who died in flame
if it’s me next, don’t forget my name
remember those who are washed away
just please make sure it’s not in vain

best life, best wife

i wake up on a rock hard bed
sweep the dreams out from in my head
and hold her in my mind
i’m running late, need to see my team
another zombie, not the first they’ve seen
this place seems to attract my kind
i get my head in
they see my problem
that she’s all that I’ve got left
and now I’m oh so lonely
but see the nights are holy
cause I can pretend that she’s lying on my chest
i’ve got the best life, cause I'm living with the best wife, so I’ll keep on holding on
even if it hurts a bit, in the places that the sharks have hit, I’ll keep her as number one
everyone I knew moved right along
in the twenty years that I’ve been gone
it’s not their fault, I know
she’s all that’s left in this crazy world
she’s been through shit that no one’s ever heard
a good life is what she’s owed
it’s messed up I know
it’s all I’ve got though
so I’ll just keep giving my best
because I’m oh so lonely
but see the nights are holy
cause I can pretend that she’s lying on my chest
i’ve got the best life, cause I'm living with the best wife, so I’ll keep on holding on
even if it hurts a bit, in the places that the sharks have hit, I’ll keep her as number one
a fire is burning somewhere
that I thought went out long ago
it’s not fucking fair
but now’s my time to go
i can see the sun going out
i think we both know what that means
it’s fine my love, I’ll be alright
just know you gave me the best life
you’ve been the best wife

Look we're in a pandemic and I, for one, am still too careful to go to live music. The Garages have fixed that not only by putting on a "live" performance, but by sending out the albums. I love the pixies album from a Chapel Hill show because I was there, and I love this for the same reason.
