Lyrics:
You drank your Sauvignon Blanc 
Like some horny single mother 
The floor was damp and the white was rank 
And the night was split like a lip 
And did you want to be at someone else’s firework display? You did 
And did you want to play with someone else’s feelings in the park? 

Don’t look back at me 
If there’s a private joke you want to instigate, although 
It won’t hurt but I’m more fickle 
Than the other side of me you’ve come to know 

Do you remember…What, November was it? 
“If you’re my honey bear,
  Then I’m the scorpion on your back” you said 
On the nostalgia reel 
The truth’s decaying fast 
In mercury, shooting temperature check 
Have I got you back on side? 
Or is it worse than I thought? 
You’re a product of purposeful self-absorption 
Now the caution signs are in the bar mirror 
And the figure of ‘O’ is a removable label halo 
And the way that she catches the light with her day glow eyes 
I’m coming out of the lime 
And I’m heat seeking as per 
Are you there? 
Are you there?

Laurie Shaw - Shatterproof

Taken from the forthcoming Laurie Shaw album, Year Zero

That's Life!

I came to you like a moth to a candle-lit dinner
The Pulitzer Prize winner 
Who doesn't turn up to except the award
I live in the documentary of my life
Sat with the flickering footage of a wife
Who doesn't get bored 
Posthumously re-releasing my back catalogue

I came to you
Like a moth to a flame thrower
And I treated you like a disgruntled reviewer
Treats a post-modern grower

I feel compelled to cause a fight
And leave a bad taste in the mouth of life
Before I bow out in some hotel based
Asphyxiation Scandal
Well, if I'm such a genius
Then I only have four years left to go
Baby, I know you'll be there fighting
For a humanist funeral

I came to you
Like a moth to a flame thrower
Sorry that I sighed when you said "slower"
But I just had a really good idea

Find a girl who smells like your mother
Marry, get a wage,
Keep up the pretence you still love her
Have some kids that your jealous of
For doing all the shit you were scared to try
Have some dinner parties
Get into karate, 
Watch PornHub once in a while
Lose all of your good friends
Get on to your death bed
Lie you "regret nothing" and smile
And die all night
That's life!

Bag For Life

Alright? Testing. Testing one two. This is Laurie Shaw speaking. This is my new album.

The long player incorporates elements of afro beat music, folk, rock & roll with middle eastern influences woven throughout.
The long player is sapped of the wordy passages found on previous album, "Helvetica" and instead features more abstract lyrical phrases.
Where "Helvetica" unfolded like the lapping seas upon England's jagged coastline, "Non Broadcast Pilot" is a very personal, internal journey through emotional turmoil where hearts break and relationships splinter.

However, these hopeless words are rescued from the thick oil spill of circumstance and regret by lurching, dusty Afrobeat rhythms, cacophonies of classical guitars, grooving bass lines, fuzzed-out electric guitars and an ensemble of recorders, bells, synthesisers and various other oddities.
