Favorite track: Tell Me.

Tell Me was the gateway drug to this awesome band, but please note - not every track is in that style. The 1st 4 tracks are much more stark and early Joy Division-ish or early anarcho-punk style. Its a fantastic album
Favorite track: Tell Me.

Cold War
04:00
|
|||
|
The revolution looked so clean
Through the filters on your tv screen
It’s easy to believe it’s right
When you’re young, rich and white
Lenin’s work so easily done
Those who questioned put to the gun
Is this the way that it must be
Workers enslaved while the bourgeoisie are free
The last cries of a crumbling regime
Built on the people's dreams
Screams still echo in the red square
The stench of slaughter still clings to the air
You speak of freedom, party slogans on the wall
But are you really ready, will you heed the dead man’s call
Fool’s dreams in a little red book
Seen it before and can’t bare to look
Millions dead, thousands enslaved
Digging the pit of the workers grave
It’s a trick they’ve played my friends
The lies of those in power never end
The kremlin was never filled with reds
But the ghosts of businessmen

Message from Above
04:04
|
|||
|
While gulls fly through the still darkened sky
A thousand miles away a bird of another kind begins to fly
Morning light casts over the land of the rising sun
50 million dead but the reapers work is not yet done
Awake with the dawn and go to pray
Our emperor will see us prosper another day
Serenity passing from earth to sea
How were they to know what was to be?
A single black bird flies through the sky
The world’s fate changing in the bling of an eye
Genocide committed with blood free hands
Beginning chapters of the end of man
Out the window I see it passing by
A single war plane drifts on high
From it I watch as something falls
I hear one last time the siren’s call
10,000 lives that could have been
Washed away in a blue white gleam
10,000 tomorrows never seen
Arbitrary revenge no longer a dream
Why can’t they hear them?
They’re speaking but the words won’t come
The sounds of silence
They’re baking in the blackened sun
Why won’t they listen?
We’re screaming at the top of our lungs
Our eyes are blinded
The message from above has come

Visions of a New World
04:07
|
|||
|
A rain washes over the city
Through the glow I know somethings changing
I see it on the peoples faces, anticipation of a new beginning
Though acceptance rarely finds me, down these streets the same sob story
Calm acceptance is all I can offer
Anticipation of a new beginning
Vision of a new world
Some say that this is the ending
But it’s simple a different perception
You must believe in nothing too stolen
Or these times will be your undoing
I see it through the hate and the war
It’s lying right there before us
Calm acceptance is all in can offer
Anticipation of a new beginning
Visions of a new world

Complications
02:14
|

Needs not dependent to the same degree
Restructures of quality, no where to go, nothing to show
Greater parts of existence transcend the body, escape the yoke of society
Complications....
Needs not dependent to the same degree restructures of quality , nowhere to go , nothing to show
Life valueless by comparison with dreams of fevered imaginations
Complications....

War, Lies, Torture, No Government can bring you peace
Allegations of insurrection
Cult religions and government schemes
Tesla's dreams distort to nightmares
It seems so obscene to me
Tension's building up..We've got no right to choose
Take a look at what they've created
It's the fucking same
War, Lies Torture, No Government can bring you peace
Sense of change through your new hope
But look around it’s still the same
Left or right it leads to nowhere
Choice seems quite the same to me
Tensions building up
We've got no right to choose
Take a look at what they've created
It's the fucking same
War, Lies Torture, No Government can bring you peace

Provincial Wake

Last rites at the union worker’s hall
Just like the Miners had 20 years ago
But I still feel the same
As your memories wash away the pain
And I don’t wanna know
What went on in your head before the fall
And I still feel the same
As the memories wash away the pain
She still keeps your pictures on the wall
Right beside Johnny Marr, and faded Ringo Starr
But I still feel the same
As your memories wash away your pain
And I don’t wanna know
What went on in your head before the fall
And I still feel the same
As your memories wash away the pain
Last chance of a teenage dream
Drugstore amphetamines
Lebanon and the shot heard round the world
Day late and a dollar short, lost on the metro
Adam Cox’s words still haunt the halls
Don’t wanna know
What went on in your head before the fall
And I still feel the same
As your memories wash away the pain

Northern Towns
03:53

The Summer turned to rain
Like the seasons spent in vain
Building lives on sand now
All the promises that were kept
To the ones that never left
They’re all over
Kept hope alive but far from harm
To see life’s a tragedy
Kept home alive but far from harm
To see life’s a callous dream
The run dry fishing fleet
Like the ghosts that roam the street
In search of where to go now
They never moved on past
All the fortunes that were cast
The day the Mill closed down
They blamed it on the drink
Just as much as anything
But her scars can never heal now
Kept hope alive but far from harm
To see life’s a tragedy
Kept hope alive but far from harm
To see life’s a callous dream
Hopeless Anomie
Life’s finality
Bonds we’ll never free
Across the western sea
|

Through all the boring politics
They’ll never do just go with it
Still comes the future as real as real
What are the things left for us now
No need to do or show us how
Still comes the future as real as real
One chance for the children left behind
We’re still living here on borrowed time

You all looked really cool
Shaved the hair on top of your head
Watched your black flags turn to white
And your faces fade into the night
It’s vertigo
I’d heard that song before
Off the air in 1994
It sounded better then
When the music was my only friend
I saw you dancing there
As the disco lights romanced the air
I thought things would stay the same
As a moment lapsed into a day
I lost you on the floor
While the crowd was screaming out
For more, more, more

Search lights on the borders wait for you
Search lights on the borders wait for you
3 months on the ocean waves
Your life in solitary
Search lights on the borders wait for you
Search lights on the borders wait for you
Say they’re there to keep this land secure
3 nights down a dusty road
Your husband cries at home
Search lights on the borders wait for you
Search lights on the borders wait for you
Say they’re there to keep their nations pure
Tired notions of yesterday
Affront to liberty
Search lights on the borders wait for you
Back rooms of the CIA
Bullets for Kennedy
Fema and the FBI
They don’t want to know your secrets

To the Victor
03:58

In another time
When I wandered down these shores of empty islands
Waiting for the tide to turn
In another day or two
What’s a sense of time when you’re alone
On a empty island waiting for the tides to turn again
Waiting for the lesson learned
Still waiting to be discovered through I don’t know how
Solitary land, Solitary cigarette in hand
On an empty island
Waiting for the tides to turn
In another day or two
You’ll never sleep alone again on an empty island
Waiting for the tides to turn now
You can’t say it’s over
When it’s not over
We’re already there
You can’t say it’s over
When it’s not over
We’re already there
Gotten what you wanted
One last time
And to the victor, and to the victor, and to the victor
Got what you wanted now
And to the victor, and to the victor, and to the victor
Got what you wanted now again
Waiting for the lesson learned
Waiting to be discovered now I don’t know how
You can’t say it’s over
When it’s not over
We’re already there
You tell me it’s over
When it’s not over
We’re already there
Gotten what you wanted
As you turned away
Gotten what you wanted
One last time
And to the victor, and to the victor, and to the victor
Got what you wanted now

Tell Me
03:41

Feelings I have that just can’t go away
Whatever you’re doing I want you to stay
In all of these times what’s it like to be strong
What is it like to go on?
Tell me
Why it’s over and done
Tell me why we can’t carry on
Tell me how to kill and to cure
Tell me, tell me
Visions I’ve had from the top of despair
Whatever you’re doing I’m already there
Wrong all the time what’s it like to belong
What is it like to go on
Tell me
Why it’s over and done
Tell me why we can’t carry on
Tell me how to kill and to cure
Tell me, tell me
And in the aftershock, they’ll never know
And when the cold cries out I’ll always call
Just like the Action Man we’ll never fall
Like life’s illusions that go on and on and on
What’s a boy to, What’s a boy to do
What’s a boy to, What’s a boy to do
What’s a boy

Slaves is my favorite song, although Crosses comes at such a close second... this LP and acts of worship I both need to own in some sort of physical copy one day, they're so good at expressing emotions I didn't even know I felt...
