Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning (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 14th October: from around midday on Friday 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/batch340

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 SoundCloud Go tracks, which can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which will be invisible to everyone. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks that have been previously submitted will also be removed.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 340

Swallow (Gary Go x Koates, Sheldrake)

You're Not The Freaks

Lyrics:

Quintessential English sounds awake a reverential English town
Put down your bags, put on your shoes, 
We’re going underground.
To where the river flows and where the heartbeat gets a little bit louder. 

Cause I am calling from a pay-phone, asking ‘what do you believe?’
Is that the way the compass points or is it the way it’s been perceived?
Save up your pennies, though talk is cheap 
And your credit card keeps whispering: ‘Ask and you shall receive’.

You should be afraid of the price of doubt,
The river’s running through but it’s not running out. 
Sometimes you might feel like you’re stuck in a cage
Don’t wait for the dust to settle, don’t wait for the tide to change.

We do pirouettes with promises and lie about our weaknesses
The traffic flows, the feeling grows, but what’s lost has now been found 
And as you awake to find a city made of glass
A universe indifferent to your culture or your class
Step away, step away and put away that mask.

Cause I am calling from a pay-phone, asking ‘what do you believe?’
Is that the way the compass points or is it the way it’s been perceived?
Save up your pennies, though talk is cheap 
And your credit card keeps whispering: ‘Ask and you shall receive’.

Cause you should be afraid of the price of doubt,
The river’s running through but it’s not running out. 
Sometimes you might feel like you’re stuck in a cage
Don’t wait for the dust to settle, don’t wait for the tide to change.

The Price of Doubt
