Punch it in my thigh
Carry me to sea
Something has to give
It might as well be me
I was buying blood
Red rivers from a rattlesnake
When making my way over ...
And I would eat my heart to understand the heart of me
Take everything apart and understand a part of me
I would eat my heart to understand the heart of me
Take everything apart and understand a part of me
Come on, are you willing to get what's coming?
I was in two minds before the war
We really came together
When I was in the mines
I thought I'd never eat again
But my little brother died ...
Something there is caught inside the wheel
We can slow it down
But we can't make it stop
It won't end with a bang
It ends in an inaudible hum
A lack of motion.

The Devil's in the detail, honey
I didn't wanna say
I think I see Him lurking in the pressure of your handwriting
I think I heard a rustle
And word of tigers on the loose
Life is a river you cannot wade up from
Go with the flow of it, honey

I've been faking sleep for too long
But I love you waking me
But I love you waking me
But I love you waking me
I've been faking sleep for too long
But I love you waking me
But I love you waking me
I'm wide awake in here
Mmm ...
Won't you come over and shake me from inside my reverie?
I'm a mile away from here
Mm-hmm
I know where I wanna be
Won't you come over and tease me into an altered state?
Where you and I can talk into each other's hearts
And listen to each other's heart
I'm waking up
But I love you waking me
Waking me
And breaking my skin

Feeling it lacked scale
We tried to dream up bigger things
A lot of living's a visceral and open thing
Then I wont for nothing
We've put fools in charge of it all
Remove today and set the stage for the sweet remove
I hope that you're in love with me again today
And that you're in love with it all
Into the woods
Running after it
Cutting it open
And giving thanks to it
Strike a fire
Eyes open
I wont for nothing
We've put fools in charge of it all
Remove today and set the stage for the sweet remove
I hope that you're in love with me again today
And that you're in love with it all

It's not to say that I wouldn't look a lot like you with clothes on
I -
It's not to say that I wouldn't look a lot like you with clothes on
I -
You could be on it forever, forever
Oh it's -
Not to say that I wouldn't look a lot like you with clothes on
I -
You could be on it forever, forever
You could -
You could be on it forever and ever
You could feel like this
All the time
For nothing
It wouldn't cost a dime
It wouldn't cost a dime
Won't you look at my wires?
Take a look at where I connect
Won't you look at my wires?
I'm looking at the whole world, but seeing a map of it
Diagnose the disconnect
Won't you look at my wires?
One day I'll be contactless
It's not to say that I wouldn't look a lot like you with clothes on
I -
The superficial distance between us
Oh it -

The Big Oil Recording Company Copenhagen, Denmark
Eclectic and inclusionary record label based in Copenhagen and on the Internet
The Big Oil Recording Company recommends:
The 'Exchange' compilation sees Petrola80-affiliated artists sharing and developing ideas. It's a genre-defying audio rainbow, breaking new ground for an already-exciting label.
go to album
Lovingly re-mastered and curated by Stroom from Cybe's tapes from the early 80's. Tropisch Verlangen is an immediate journey into semi-imaginary, exotic landscapes. Vivid postcards in gonzo prose.

go to album
The London singer-songwriter crafts comforting, yet off-kilter, alternative pop fleshed out with elements of folk and soul.

Mothers Cry And Then We Die.
by Nymphlord
Alt-rock that’s alternately slashing and serene, Nymphlord surrounds sugar-sweet melodies with toothy riffs.
