lyrics

All our jokes got thrown to the head-winds at dawn
And the tail-lights of evening look angry and worn
With the pressure of blood through the vessels we pass
I’ll be mad as an ember for as long as it lasts

All the old TVs by the sides of the road
Could they still bring us feed of how it once was?
When that dead stare just said “we’ve not changed one bit,
But you have, oh you have and that is just it.”

Feed me power, I’ll purr and moan
My fans still spin
My lights will flicker
My valves start to glow
And before you know it the fools rush in

Fools Rush In

A white plastic bag afloat on the wind
On a six-lane hi-way, you still don’t get hit
When you’re out to dance with the cars and the trucks
You are one part abandon to an equal part luck

But I just decided to get the hell clear
Make for the hills
Your wake it’s so wide and you take what you will
But I still wish you well
When the fools rush in

Due in April 2019, NAUGHTS & ONES is a triumphant mirror-maze of jubilant pop tunes set in a hinterland of darker rock ballads. ... more
