Andrew Richmond, Jimmy Overend and myself (Michael Gale) working hard on Andrew's new EP. Plenty more actual releases, various demos, outtakes and other nonsense from these sessions to come. 

Is that spit? Looks like it

I'm not gonna tell you yes
I'm not gonna tell you no
I may have gotten some spit there on your bedpost
I didn't intend for you to find out
I thought it would just sit there and dry out

I'm sorry that you noticed, I spit on your bed.

Andrew Richmond - Bed Spit Blues

I'm simply searching for the song that’s gonna get me through the next hour at work 
the job i can handle, i can't handle losin' all of my time!
the weight and stress, I've been breaking-even debts
suggest my kids do the same for their pride and self-respect 

& while i don't profess to be any kind of model
(I am a poorly dressed pawn on a well-dressed chessboard)
I won't take it all out on my family and friends
no i won't take it all out on my family and friends.

Production en masse! anxiety unmatched!
And not a single fuck was given that day!

Taxes are to worker as pollution is to sky
You've had a good enough day but you’ve missed all the sunshine
& I'd trade it all in just like anyone whose faced
a crippling fear of the change but still imagines greener pastures

and hey ma, look what I can do with both my hands tied behind my back and the key in my stomach!
blind-folded, spun around three times I'll still land this plane,
I've had a hundred percent success rate!

Production en masse! anxiety unmatched!

we've got teeth like gravestones 
we've got mouths that water
we've things to mull over 
we've left ribbons to follow

I Am The Agent - Aokigahara

Bats and Battleships recorded this track in March 2011. Originally recorded for a 7" split with I Am The Agent which didn't end up happening, so after all this time we decided to finish it off anyway. Features live looping and drum takes; bit-crushed and samples added.

Bats & Battleships - My Mistake

Do you feel frazzled this week? Like you’re wasting your time?
Like you can’t get on with anyone, unless you stay drunk?
Well walk over to the bar & pour into your mouth 
The comforting milk from the tits of your mother

A moral compass like a Ferris wheel covered in lights.
it’s just a ride that leads you safely round and back to real life
Don’t stop being selfish, no, do what you like.
No rules to abide means no tantrums tonight. 

Skin, contact, it makes no connection
You Sartre, me Seinfeld, you Patti, me PJ
I’m open, adjusted, good at real life
You concept, you theory, me fragile, you wise
Me porous, soaking, leeching, bleeding sponge
You torment, you naked, you itch I can’t reach.
I’m just bitter like I always was.

I feel older lately, like my time’s been tickin’ out
& each step I take is one that I will never take back

So I'll run!
You can’t catch me and I can’t climb out
When I fall down, I wont hit the ground
Are you watching me freak out?
