Freakshow 03:14
Freak Show Laugh, from a hollow place, a transplanted face Scintillated, a new dead star Death is a salesman, death is a star Never forget, how stupid you are Dark, the end of reason, the experts came Emaciated, in top pop shape Blissed out, comeback, shameless, freak show All is soap, and all is disease Rolling twenty four hour greed And few can laugh and I can’t breath Where pantomime horses bolt and bleed Bury me deep without my brain Where all is fake and all is fame Twitter your tears and blog your blame Where grief and love and shit’s the same Dance ‘til the public sickens, let the public buy Icon worship, freak show flies Blissed out, comeback, shameless, freak show Freak show, freak show, freak show, freak show

Church of Love-in We’re from the church of love-in We’re from the church of speed We’re from the state of habit We’re in a state of need We wait for miracles, we don’t like explanations We suck our sugar pills, it feels so right We live in fantasy, and we are not political We’re not analytical, and we’re so free We’re from the empty packet Give it away for free Black as the heart of disco Mad as the birds we feed We sell erotica, speaking glossolalia Spirit, mammal, alien, yeah more bad seed Don’t even think about it, crystals beads and profits Open minds and wallets, we’re no fools Love in love Love in love Love in love Love in love Just don’t push us too far Just don’t push us too far Just don’t push us too far Love it up and love it all

Sold 02:53
Sold Teen drama, it comes at you The total victory of Margaret Thatcher See your future fade away Arm yourself and kneel to pray Stay calm and work harder The total victory of Margaret Thatcher God of money, God of greed God of market, all you need Stick at it you’re dreaming you could make a killing I’m staying to watch it on the television You can never be loved you can only be sold Crack down on, dole scrounger Twenty more pounds for the tax avoiders Moving money from screen to screen Arms bribes, sales and magazines They said they’d be glad when she was gone forever Now pretend that the world just changes like the weather You can never be young now before you get old Cheap lager, glue culture Principals of a smacked down vulture Queen Victoria lights the way Don’t pretend you’ll get away Teen drama, the porn butcher The complete victory of Margaret Thatcher Dead souls screaming in the wind Justice, equality what might’ve been Stick at it you’re dreaming you could make a killing I’m staying to watch it on the television You can never be loved you can only be sold They said they’d be glad when she was gone forever Now pretend that the world just changes like the weather You can never be young now before you get old

My Regeneration I feel, no pain, high rise, high gain All hail, swift growth, I feel, greed’s glow My Regeneration My Regeneration Life-style, in-store, basement, Bar Love Get paid, get more, despise the poor My Regeneration My Regeneration My Regeneration Wall Street panicked and caught a cold The valet parker is on the dole There’s an Anarchist mob at the entry-phone But it’s the weekend and I’m alone Burberry man on a child’s bike wanks The woman with the bruises and white shoes drinks For the girls from the Gipton and Seacroft Streets Revenge is cruel, revenge is sweet My keys, my phone, my car, my home My shirt, my pants, all gone – let’s dance! My Regeneration My Regeneration My Regeneration

Drone (Revolution) When we get like this we know there is nothing When we get like this it’s too late for talking When we get like this we’re out to destroy When we get like this we’re down with the boys With my Little Red Book I discover The thoughts of Chairman Mao and Baader and Lenin / Lennon You showed up at the graveside of Bobby Sands They kicked you all around on your face and your hands And this is the big, the big idea Light a fire, cry no tears Tear it down and party like it’s ‘77 When you’re sailing far too close to the truth Mental illness turning guns on the roof The Red Army Faction trains in free Palestine Naked girls on the roof with a coke and lime When we get like this the blood spurts from dreams Arm the freedom fighters and the Mujahedeen When is a revolutionary just a man? When is the revolution just a scam? Ladies and Gentlemen there will be no revolution but everything will be televised When it gets to this there’s no going home When it gets to this hit the alarm When it gets to this you’re in or you’re out When you get here there’s no changing and no doubt And this is the big, the big idea Gudrun Ensslin cries no tears Revolutionary consciousness Tear down the wall sell souvenirs The revolution was in your head The revolution was in your head The revolution was in your head

La Mouche 03:09
La Mouche In my house I watch him die I watch him land I watch him slow down I spilled sugar I spilled tea He still gets weak, this weakness I can feel Cages - block the light Lifeless - body blows Goodbye to life and soul Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, life at high speed Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Half a wing and half a prayer Every leg they say is numbered Dried out - see through pain Flightless - buzzwords drone Fall around my home Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, life at high speed Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, swat, starve or free Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh If one green bottle should accidentally fall My favourite flavoured fly

Idiot God 02:49
Idiot God We worship – an idiot God Messed up, now won’t get involved Get him drunk and truss him up and get him laid Sell him drugs and toss him off and give him pain Make him old and sell his soul and let him freeze Let him fail and make him fat feel your disease God says, to hell with it all We’re building, building a wall Keep ‘em out and keep ‘em down and keep us safe Keep ‘em poor and keep us pure and keep the faith Concrete, wire and guns buys us security Temporary measures prove the prophesies God made this happen or God let this be And God knows what’s happening And god says he’ll make you free We worship – an idiot God Messed up, now won’t get involved Get him drunk and truss him up and get him laid Sell him drugs and toss him off and give him pain Make him old and sell his soul and let him freeze Let him fail and make him fat feel your disease God makes this happen or God lets this be God made the Devil and God says to follow me A God who craves worship, follow and be set free Idiot Idiot

Ten Floors 02:35
Ten Floors What is a child? Ten years work and a way to hurt me And what she deserves Is the pain of loss and the pain I’m feeling Father (farther) to fall Can’t make it right but can make it even Ten floors to finally show her Ten floors to finally show her Man on a ledge, two young children, hotel window Take, take it all, I will show you, I will show you Ten floors to finally show her Ten floors to finally show her Red hair, white skin, black lips, green eyes Red skin, white hair, green lips black eyes

about

Whole Sky Monitor Leeds, UK

The chief export of Leeds’ Whole Sky Monitor is sonic shock and awe. Their sophomore effort, Twisted Little Piggies, is a discordant, vaguely political, overtly misanthropic body of hyper-energetic and possibly upsetting rock and roll blasts that smokes and sweats bullets. Actually, BBC1’s Steve Lamacq phrased it as “huge, hulking anti-pop.” Twisted Little Piggies will be your go-to soundtrack. ... more
