Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Wednesday evening (or when we receive 200 submissions, whichever is sooner) - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 12th September: from Friday afternoon you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch458

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves or on the BBC Music Introducing Mixtape during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance. 

We also don’t accept short previews or SoundCloud Go tracks that can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which cannot be included in playlists. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks (and remixes of tracks) that have been previously submitted, and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

I'M A TRAINED ORATOR
A SKILLED MANIPULATOR
I WAS BORN INTO THE RANKS
WHILE YOU WERE BRED FOR FOOD BANKS
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO WANT FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

I AM A NATURAL LEADER
YOU ARE THE TRUE BELIEVERS
I SEE THEM SCRAPING ON THEIR KNEES
THEY RECOGNISE I’M THE ELITE 
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO WORK FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

HUMAN RECIPROCATOR

I’M A PUBLIC SPEAKER
FORGIVE MY MISDEMEANOURS
MY MASCULINITY - A CRUTCH FOR MEDIOCRITY 
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO BEG FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

I AM A NATURAL LEADER
YOU ARE THE TRUE BELIEVERS
SO DON’T LISTEN TO RUMOUR
(WELL DRESSED LIKE THAT WOULD YOU BELIEVE HER?)
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO REPENT FOR A THING IN MY LIFE

HUMAN RECIPROCATOR
HUMAN RECIPROCATOR

I HAVE ALL THE DATA
HUMAN RECIPROCATOR
I HAVE FRIENDS IN SUCH HIGH PLACES
THAT MY PRIVILEGE ERASED IT
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO ANSWER FOR A THING IN MY LIFE

I CAN RADIATE IT
I WON’T RECIPROCATE IT
I WILL ASK OF YOU THE THINGS I’LL NEVER EVER EVER DO
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO WAIT FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

HUMAN RECIPROCATOR

HUMAN RECIPROCATOR

I'M A SKILLED ORATOR
A TRAINED MANIPULATOR
I SEE THEM FALLING AT MY FEET
THE MAN THE WOMEN WANT TO MEET
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO ASK FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

WHILE YOU WERE BRED FOR FOOD BANKS
I WAS BORN INTO THE RANKS
I SEE YOU SCRAPING ON YOUR KNEES
YOU RECOGNISE I’M THE ELITE 
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO WAIT FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

Take Back (Unplugged)

Limbo

One morning whilst lying in bed I felt suddenly, overwhelmingly captivated by hands. The dexterity, the perfection of their design. Their capacity to help or harm. It grew into some questions: What am I doing with mine? Could I use them better?

Lyrics

HandsYou know the onesEnd of an armGetting all the fun

HandsOur eyes in the darkSuch potentialFor these utensils

HandsFourteen phalangesMade for lendingFor breaking and mendingHandsHandsThese agents for intention

One minute fightingThe next playing

HandsThey’ve got lots to giveEverywhere I lookPeople do amazing things withHandsCan’t someone gimme a signI just don’t know what to do with mine

HandsOne either sideFingertipsOne through five

HandsQuite a designI wish I knew yoursLike the back of mine

HandsMoving nimblyPrimate toolsI got mine for free

HandsNot always cleverThe power to hurtAnd make things better

One minute wavingThe next flailing

HandsThey’ve got lots to wreckEverywhere I lookPeople do useless things with

HandsCan’t someone gimme a signI just don’t knowWhat to do with mine

HandsThey’ve got lots to giveIf you wanna do some goodYou better use them rightSo handsCan’t someone gimme a signI just don’t know what to do with mine

Hands (shorter)

In the late 18thc street sellers would sell a long scroll of songs tied to a pole.
