Drop, like a stone, when you're thrown into the water
Spin, like a top, make it stop, like it ought to
Calm, in your eyes, you despise all the slaughter
Plan, like a bet, try to get, what you ought to
Run, with the pack, what you lack, makes you higher
Pray to your Gods, throw your sods on the fire
Dress to the nines, cross the lines, build your pyre
Drain, to the end, every drop of desire
Spin, like a top, make it stop, like it ought to
Calm, in your eyes, you despise all the slaughter
Plan, like a bet, try to get, what you ought to
Run, with the pack, what you lack, makes you higher
Pray to your Gods, throw your sods on the fire
Dress to the nines, cross the lines, build your pyre
Drain, to the end, every drop of desire

| oldsaxon (Wales via Vancouver, BC.) | Posted: Jul 28, 2012 - 16:34 It's about 1:00AM here just now...this is a nice sound to go with the dregs of that Pinot I just finished. I like it but won't rate it till later, or tomorrow..... |
| Rmike (Up a creek down a river) | Posted: Jul 15, 2012 - 21:23 The band does not realize the extreme level of taste which this group posseses. After all, its not about enjoying the music. Most of the comments are designed to impress the other sages. Heaven forbid if the wrong people should see you like something. Too bad there is not a special stream of perfect tunes just for the wizards. So you people who say you like it, shame on us!!!! |

| Poacher (Brighton, UK) | Posted: Jun 27, 2012 - 05:55 On regular rotation at Poacher Heights. Works well being played loud enough to rattle the windows. 10. |

| katjazuu | Posted: Jan 25, 2012 - 10:42 This song has a really nice hook with that bass that really keeps my attention. Good stuff! |
| aspicer (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Jan 20, 2012 - 11:53 Good stuff - never heard of them but like this track! |
| le_colonel | Posted: Jan 20, 2012 - 11:51 Gets an instant 8 from me on first listen. Was just going to say sounds a hell of a lot like Wire when what do I see on allmusic - it is Colin Newman. Great find - keep in playlist please, Bill. Wouldn't mind hearing more Wire here as well by the way. |
| hippiechick (topsy turvy land) | Posted: Jan 20, 2012 - 11:50 I'd rather givehead |
| Jelani (Home of the freak, land of the vague) | Posted: Jan 20, 2012 - 11:46 Cool. |
| Alexandra (PNW) | Posted: Jan 17, 2012 - 15:04 Wow....this is pretty damn cool.  |
| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Jan 10, 2012 - 09:49 Hmm. A few more notes please, Mr Git. The same vocal and guitar sequence all through the song gets a bit repetitive after a while. |
