2.	Public Relations 01:10	lyrics	buy track
Take a lie and make it true Constantly deceiving you Your perception's being managed While you sit there and let it happen The heart of humanity The public be damned Democracy is just a slogan Is there such a thing as freedom? Bad is good and good is evil The yoyo fear-of-terror level
3.	Zombie Holocaust 02:05	lyrics	buy track
Keep looking forward, looking high Find a new way of getting high Rise above the chaos for a while Get back in the chase Into oblivion we will drive Wasted on the dash, truth on our minds Tick, tick, tock we will not stop Get back in the race The truth is dead Just us alive Welcome to the rest of your life
4.	The Endgame 04:43	lyrics	buy track
The last word is setting sail Let the endgame prevail When few remain There’s one line to cross We can all imagine, paradise Look into the fire What image is burned? Death or glory Cross the line Death or glory The maximum progression, there's one last move The ultimate agenda, a planned consequence We can all imagine paradise Look into the fire, what image remains?
5.	Waves 06:19	lyrics	buy track
My voice cries out, will someone hear me? In the dark I'm disappearing Time will heal or so they say But it don't always work that way A black hole Inside my soul What's the matter with me? Waves and waves And waves and waves And they are drowning me Drowning me And I can't hold them back Grim reminders every day From the things I see to the words you say It's time to go, so I say goodbye I don't want to live but I don't want to A black hole Inside my soul What's the matter with me? Waves and waves And waves and waves And they are drowning me Drowning me And I can't hold them back I don't want to die but I don't want to live I don't want to live but I don't want to die I don't want to, I don't want to I don't want to, I don't want to If I lived my life again I'd only fuck it up the same A black hole Inside my soul What's the matter with me? What is the matter with me? Waves and waves (I don't want to, I don't want to) And waves and waves (I don't want to, I don't want to) And they are drowning me Drowning me Waves and waves (I don't want to, I don't want to) And waves and waves (I don't want to, I don't want to) And they are drowning me Drowning me And I can't hold them back

When I first saw your letter I laughed then I cried I wanted to kill someone And I wanted to die You're just like a zombie You always come back for more Well, take another piece of me Coz you aint had it all You know you want to C'mon! C'mon take it C'mon take it Take it all So you ramp up the pressure You might as well have a knife What's the fucking point of it all? How am I supposed to survive? As the worry increases And I'm trapped in my cell This is what you've done to me You fucking happy now?!

Strung up on a web, a web of strangled thoughts Wrapped in a shroud of intricate details Pressed up against a great big wall of lies We're doomed to self destruct our tiny minds With all our self doubt and inner torment Help us someone, lend a hand To fathom the things we don't understand Empty, hollow, this life's a broken shell Lifeless sentence we serve it here in hell Burdens, heavy, they're carried on our backs Spiralling down 'til our sanity cracks With all our self doubt and inner torment Help us someone, lend a hand To fathom the things we don't understand Help us someone make us well Imprisoned in a fire burnt hell Ripped apart by this mortal coil Then we decompose beneath the soil Strung up on a web, a web of strangled thoughts Wrapped in a shroud of intricate details Pressed up against a great big wall of lies We're doomed to self destruct our tiny minds With all our self doubt and inner torment Help us someone, lend a hand To fathom the things we don't understand Help us someone make us well Imprisoned in a fire burnt hell Mental torment this is our lives lament
15.	Nail In The Sky 04:15	lyrics	buy track
A nail in the sky Boxes floating by The choir joins in They all begin to sing A nail in the head Boxes lying dead No-one joins in They all begin to die Death, Decay Coffin full of peace Choir begins to smile Smiling as they go A nicer way to die Coffin full of life Never saw the strife Playing with the knife The stab you in the back Coffin full of peace Choir begins to smile No-one joins in No-one gets to sing
16.	Swamp Too 04:55	lyrics	buy track
Black hand holds the ace Burned but survives, play one more deal Buried the body, it’s gone from our mind Friends fade into the haze, gunfire’s gone, it’s history The hand still holds the final ace, waiting to show the losing hand Can’t outrun the heat, pursue, take flight, disappear Drink up you’ll be fine, smash the bottle one more time Drink up you’ll be fine, never catch us for the crime Silver wing tips, with a cloak, descending, vacant and dead You will be hunted down, leave the kill to someone else Stare all you like, eyes always tell Into the abyss, this will be your last move Once was lost, now is found Scatter like leaves, let’s go to ground Not long til it all goes down In the desert you can't drown The lady appears to save the day? This will not be pleasant, there’s one last play

Miles and miles and miles of highs and lows Where we gonna crash? Nobody knows Tour bus legends 2009 Time to say goodbye for one last time Play and drink, move on and do it again Play and drink, move on and do it again It's time to go, let's hit the road We're on our way back home We got our shirts ripped off in the Czech Gamberro’s homebrew, getting wrecked The bombed-out buildings in Bosnia (Hey Ed!) It’s a long way home from Alsager Woah oh Woah oh Woah oh Play and drink, move on and do it again It's time to go, let's hit the road We're on our way back home It's time to go, let's hit the road We're on our way back home 500 miles, 8 minutes to play Climb up the mountain in the rain Speakers in tents and a homemade stage Let's stay in this squat for another day Play and drink, move on and do it again Play and drink, move on and do it again It's time to go, let's hit the road We're on our way back home It's time to go, let's hit the road We're on our way back home It's time to go, let's hit the road We're on our way back home It's time to go, let's hit the road We're on our way back home It's time to go, let's hit the road We're on our way back home It's time to go, let's hit the road We're on our way back home It's time to go, let's hit the road We're on our way back home It's time to go, let's hit the road We're on our way back home

about

This record was lovingly crafted by Matt Martin and 2 Sick Monkeys on location at the Methodist Church Shed, Wootton Bassett, and Pete’s flat in Shithouse, Swindon, and was beautifully and patiently mixed and mastered by Matt at MOA, Bulgaria.

It would also not have been possible without the very kind and generous help of:
Beanie for recording her vocals at Yard Of Ale, Bristol and Manchester
and for recording Porl’s vocals at DBS, Bristol
Ian Upsettah at Worse Than Bad Studios, Bristol for recording all of Ed’s vocals
Jon Buckett at Amber Studios, Swindon, for recording Shaun’s vocals
Stu McKay at Studio 6, Wootton Bassett, for recording Fred and Pete’s extra backing vocals
Adam Chinner at Freefall Studios, St Just, Cornwall, for recording Rash Decision’s and Simon’s vocals

And, of course, Matt & Bo at Pumpkin Records, Someone at Smegma Records, Steve at Urinal Vinyl, Shawn, Zoe, Ed, Simon & Matt at Uncomfortable Beach Party, Archly Huge at DeadLamb Records, Alec & Tony at Antipop Records, Calum at Shatterpunk Records, Mr T at Back From The Dead Records and Alex at One Step Outside Records
Thank you so much, folks!

Huge thanks to everyone that’s contributed to this record, to all the bands we’ve played with, the promoters we’ve played for, the pubs, clubs, squats, festivals, towns and cities we’ve played in, the people we’ve played in front of, the labels that have helped release and distribute our music, the zines that have done interviews with us, the people that have written nice (and not so nice) things about us, the people that have been there from the start, the people we’ve lost along the way, the people that have let us stay in their homes, the people that have made us food, the people that have bought us booze, the people that have given us presents,
the people who may (or may not) have given us drugs and then drew permanent-marker beards and new tattoos on Pete but, most of all,
thank you to everyone who has made this thing such a great crack.
We’ve been well-and-truly blessed to be able to meet so many ace people through this little band of ours and whilst we will miss you all
we hope we’ve left you with some smiles and a record you’ll enjoy.
Thank you loads, folks!!!
Happy Christmas! xx

Ska Punk as good as it gets. Other bands would benefit from taking notes. Culture Shock is relevant as always with the contemporary lyrics, and the music will force you to nod in rhythm whether you want to or not. Droote
