Tomorrow

Yeah, that...

Lust and Greed

Why do you all only want good news?
I don’t wanna know anything that’s ugly
Only interested in your morning high
I don’t want no pain, I am afraid to die

Half the world is stuck in the past
Here we’ve learn everything has a cost
Why the fuck we throw the keys out the window
Where do we go, do we wanna go back?

Once you take all there is, once you eat all the food
How do you propose we live after all the stuff is gone?

Nothing comes for free, nothing’s guaranteed
You don’t want to work for it, well I guess that’s your choice 
History will teach you how empires rise and fall
Careful what you do, or you may lose it all
	
Once you take all there is, once you eat all the food
How do you propose we live after all the stuff is gone?

Lust and Greed

Blackbirds FC's third album!

This record has been a long labour of love for the band and features ten hand-tooled total bangers including the singles Rings Around the Sun, Lake of Stars and What's the Half-Life of Loving You?

Lyrically it talks about love (mainly gone wrong), politics (also going wrong), the young and the future (could go either way...). Musically it calls on the noisy spirits of all our influences including Wilco, The Church, the Go-Betweens, Beck and. Midnight Oil. 

The record title, Desire Lines, is partly a reference to the informal, unplanned pathways that people create despite the efforts of designers.

These lines typically cut across a planned route or area, often due to a more convenient or direct route and seemed like a good fit on a variety of levels for this record.
