We fucking love Iron Maiden, The Trooper is particularly tasty.
Skank-Mosh Pit it up!


The Trooper - Iron Maiden Cover

Sitting watching clouds drift by
Always make me wonder why
Life makes no sense most of the time
Just gotta hang on try enjoy the ride
 
I find it hard to focus most of the time
But other times I can't get other tings off my mind
Fixation problems within reside
Causing mental suicide
 
And I wait....
For the world to stop turning
Though I know its not gonna happen anytime soon
Out of nowhere a figure comes to me and says
 
Let it go
 
Stuck on repeat inside my head, this ones not gonna let me get to bed
Smoke it out the restless  dead, eliminating the impending dread
Figure 8 catastrophe, endless look of what has been
Sticking lightly to the ground, no hope just blocking out the sound
 
And I wait...
For the world to stop turning
Though I know its not gonna happen anytime soon
Out of nowhere a figure comes to me and says
 
Back again, my mind can't breathe yeah
I'm slowly going under, pulled on down by muddy water
Try to stop, relax, focus on my dreams
That I never can remember so I sit in brooding silence
 
While I wait
For the world to stop turning
Though I know its not gonna happen anytime soon
Out of nowhere a figure comes to me and says
 
All hanging out head back to my place
Had a few drinks sang and jumped around
Blotter paper stationed got my head in a trip
Satisfied, piece of mind, just want to let this slip
Hanging with my good friends, having a jam
Memories live forever, satisfaction comes so briefly
 
So we figured it out what's more to say
We gotta kick back, gotta live for today
So won't you join me, raise your voices, sing to dreams broken and to life!
When the world stops turning, I know I'm gonna be the first to go
Unless I can find a way to grow and let it go.


Let it Go

Waiting for knock off time
The bottle store closes at 8
I gotta be quick, there might be traffic
How else am I gonna get to sleep
 
Trying to place these words with someone elses story
Just not mine
Keeping tabs on little scraps of paper
That I end up never throwing away
 
Waiting for knock off time
The bottle store closes at 8
I gotta be quick, there might be traffic
How else am I gonna get to sleep
 
Give me some credit
Im doing my best
I know its quite simple
but I just don't cut it
Keeping them burning
It's not quite that late
Fishing for dreams
In the warm night haze
 
Ok so not quite so removed
But I hope not misconstrued
Something to help it go down smooth
A little bit of everything, just for you.
 
Waiting for knock off time

but I just don't cut it
Keeping them burning
It's not quite that late
Fishing for dreams
In the warm night haze

Credit

Lurking round every corner
Reaching out to anywhere
No one can ever be alone and no one can hide
 
The best and worst of all of us
It knows everything and more
Biding. Waiting to consume you whole
 
Oh no don't look behind you know it's there
Just keep on walking don't despair
Don't let it see your weakness or you're bound to fall
If knowledge is power then I'm grossly outmatched
Judgement day is here, the time has come,
I'm praying and I don't know why.
 
It's coming, beware
It's come to devour your analogue soul
 
And sometimes I don't know what I'm saying anymore
The reasons drowned out by the whispers and cries for help
Your heart's displayed on your sleeve, is that so everyone can see?
What use is reputation when you're in a shallow grave
 
It's coming
Beware
It's come to devour your analogue soul


Social Suicide

Dream away, float away
As we let the poison fill out veins.
Breathe in deeply
As our lungs begin to burn
 
Hold on tighthly
To all the things that really matter to you
Be careful, be wary.
It could all be gone anytime soon
 
We let the words inside our heads become the voices as we dream of better days
Lying, shaking as we blacken out the pain
Digging deeper ever deeper as we're probing the truth
But who cares anyway, tomorrow it might all be gone
 
Be gone, be gone.
 
Slide through space and time
Drift on deeper to the other side
Let's take one more hit
And have a lie down on the ground

Philosophy of Forgetting

Every ten year we need a revolution
Something to keep us juiced up
It's so hard to keep up up living
In this retro neon contradiction
 
We all sold our souls
Or traded them for equal or greater value
Waiting for a cause to be attached to
Passing the time by getting tatoos
 
Fitting into a generation
I hope I get it right this time
 
We all have our own ideas but we don't like to share
Reality is, it's getting us no where
Strength in numbers is more than a myth
The chance of creation attached to the risk
 
Fitting into a generation
I hope I get it right this time
 
Tough as it seems we all have to try
Try not to be, that guy
But now that I see it, chances are good
We're quenching our thirst for fame and blood.


Sci Fi Taxidermy

Oh he's the postman, the midnight postman
 
Not always on time but when he arrives
You got to be sure
This package, is unbelievably pure
Cos he's the postman
 
The midnight postman
 
No one at home gotta get to the show
Can't get high cos I'm running so low
When you know you wanna settle your score
Just give me a call I'll sort you out for sure
 
Cos he's the postman

We don't have to worry, everything will be alright
This river never runs dry, fire stays lit tonight.
 


The Postman

Welcome all to the revealing
Meet the bringer of power
With his unfinished stack of books
He has come to claim your soul
 
Victory belongs to the deceiver/decider
And may be hollow if devoid of any choice
So defy what you deny and defy the rest
Protest your detest or live in your silence
 

The Tits

In case you missed it!

Tim, Mark and Ivan stepped into the Mix FM studios to talk about their new album, influences and a bunch of other nonsense :p They had a blast! Mix FM were awesome hosts!

Fridge Poetry interview on Mix Fm 93.8

Don't listen to what they tell you
They're riddling your mind
With the problems they have no answers for
Share and share alike
 
Skin up one more blizzy
To help me clear my mind
This world is too confusing
Don't let it bleed you dry
 
Pop and drop to the rhythm we'll forget till the morning comes
Sing along to the words you don't know and wait for the sun.
 
It seems so crazy in a world sophisticated
That we gotta try so hard to hide how we're medicated
Now there some blacks, some whites, some greys and somewhere inbetween
But green is the only one for me.
 
Skin up one more blizzy
To help me clear my mind
This world is too confusing
Don't let it bleed you dry
 
Pop and drop to the rhythm we'll forget till the morning comes
Sing along to the words you don't know and wait for the sun.
