Doin It Wrong

Flint in the feed, now the wires are clean
Blood's just a rumor in the mezzanine
Click-click hymn in a bang-bang dream
The leveller comes without a name

He’s all safety off and Sunday best
Chalk lines tangled in a bulletproof vest
Lipstick smear on a broadcast test
No prayers, just pre-set regrets

Leveller, leveller, draw the line
He don’t preach, he just aligns
Bang-bang reason, bang-bang grace
Same old gods in a pad-lock case

He sweeps the malls, he sighs through screens
Prints his gospel in AR beams
You won’t feel the body, just the seams
Unravel slow in machine-gun dream

You thought you’d see him coming
But he’s post-time, pre-cry, un-running
The kind of truth you don’t detect
Until your angles disconnect

He’s the prayer without the voice
The war declared without a choice
A blur between the fall and fact
A quiet click where worlds contract

And if you breathe, and if you shake
And if you reach, it’s still too late
Because he’s not here to mend or end
He takes what no one can defend

Leveller, leveller, draw the line
He don’t preach, he just aligns
Bang-bang reason, bang-bang grace
Same old gods in a pad-lock case

Leveller, leveller, draw the line
He don’t preach, he just aligns
Bang-bang reason, bang-bang grace
Same old gods in a pad-lock case

He levels love, he levels luck
Leaves a silence sharp as rust
And when they ask you where he stood
You’ll say "where anyone could."

Memories

alt-J are Joe Newman, Gus Unger-Hamilton and Thom Green. They returned in 2022 with their latest album, The Dream.  

alt-J are one of the most successful British bands of the millennium. Their 2012 Mercury Prize and Ivor Novello Award-winning debut An Awesome Wave, was followed two years later by their number one, GRAMMY and BRIT Award-nominated album This Is All Yours. Released in 2017, RELAXER flew straight into the top 10 of the UK album chart ahead of a summer of major international shows - including a headline show at London’s O2 Arena and headline performances at numerous festivals - and became their second album to be nominated for the Mercury Prize.
