Lyrics:
Johnny was a chameleon when it was predominantly shrapnel, shrapnel from the chapel of the Katman
Johnny kiss the groom and go join the killing while Britain is watching her Watson
Headed down to Tianamon but had tarry enough time, shoulda listened to the world turn
Told me that the cheaters are watching scratch ticket Jesus insulting the sultan

But we got an offer to lessen the lesson learned, like kissing cousins kissing out of turn
But if you gonna play you gotta play the party lines
We gon’ take back this town if it takes us all, hey kid you look you could be found
But for the moment we are the fault line

I mind that our time is still marked by the grains of intolerance
It’s our lives, our fight til we done, til we done, til we done, til we done

In the United States of discrimination the schools feed into the prison
The corporations are more powerful than the government
Give the teachers a banker’s salary and see how that goes
See if we farm our land again, Kilanmanjaro it snows
You sleep in your Egyptian linen 500 count thread what’s the count on the dead
We are the eye of the needle, we fixing to mend this quilt of lies that’s ripped up on our bed
We coming in quick and we got Angela Davis on our lips and Mandela in our head

We got an offer to lessen the lesson learned, like kissing cousins kissing out of turn
But if you gonna play you gotta play the party lines
We gon’ take back this town if it takes us all, hey kid you look you could be found
But for the moment we are the fault line

I mind that our time is still marked by the grains of intolerance
It’s our lives, our fight til we done, til we done, til we done, til we done

Ay, I lost my religion along with my innocence
Our lives our time til we done, til we done, til we done, til we done, til we done, done, done, done, done, done, done

Well at least she got her body, and he’s a boy named Sue
The Federales sure ain’t no expert on love, why would we listen to you
Well at least we got our bodies, we all a boy named Sue
And we’ll fight til it’s done, til the borders are run, where there’s gardens not guns, life is anew 

It was a fight night and the prize fighter cut like in a knife fight, it was all over the highlights when he got hit by a hard right, he saw stars like lightbright couldn’t see any sightline, started his skydive from the highlife, like Pele plain highlight, shoulding m’aide to his hayday, in the pell-mell of the melee, his corner was getting a payday needed Thompson from My Lai, turn his guns his own guys, but it wasn’t Maltofs and Mai Thais, just AKs and white lies, tell Mount Sinai to believe in I and I and you and you, not an eye for an eye and I ain’t eyeing the cap on your tooth but then again I ain’t debating and standing in your shoes, I’m just trying to figure out which Golden Rule I should choose, we getting high sided by the tie guys, white color crime pays just look at the bylines, if you believe in anything believe in occupy, cause it’s a richman’s world and we getting off the sidelines

I mind that our time is still marked by the grains of intolerance
It’s our lives, our fight til we done, til we done, til we done, til we done

I might let the gallery down but there are people by the thousands outside – and we are just getting by
I might, might let the gallery down, depending on how many votes did you buy

Andrew Davie, Joey Haynes and Kevin Jones – Bear’s Den to an ever-growing army of fans – formed a band in 2012. Two short years has seen euphoric word of mouth take them from early days of sofa surfing gigs via touring across Europe and North America to selling out their own 1500 capacity London headline show in May this year. All the while, their music has evolved into something spellbinding and beautiful; a gorgeous, enveloping sound driven by the steady hum of acoustic instruments and Andrew’s haunted voice delivering “lyrically sincere and emotionally raw songs” (New York Times) that are “as timeless as heartache” (MTV). Arriving this autumn, their debut album Islands is astonishing – a record that perfectly marks the point where a band goes from best kept secret to new favourite band.

Released on Communion, Islands follows the band’s EPs Without/Within and Agape and their hugely acclaimed recent single Elysium (a track that came coupled with Marcus Haney’s remarkable short film). The album was produced by Ian Grimble (Manic Street Preachers/The 1975) at 2KHz Studio in North London. It features:

1. Agape
2. The Love You Stole
3. Above The Clouds of Pompeii
4. Isaac 
5. Think Of England 
6. Magdalene 
7. When You Break 
8. Stubborn Beast 
9. Elysium
10. Bad Blood

To mark the release of Islands, Bear’s Den play a series of intimate shows in key cities across Europe and North America. For tickets and information see po.st/BearsDenLive

Lyrics:

Indiana fall 
Indiana fall 
Indiana fall I’ll tell em 
That’s what I always said to myself inside my head 
Someday we'll have a bed and I will love her

But I just kept putting it off 
Never seemed to be the right time in the day 
And if I was to say it 
I would need a box of wine maybe a box of rain 
To fall down on our makeshift house that we built to keep us dry

I love you more than you’ll ever know 
Though you can’t hear me now 
And I’ll make a life for us that’s all our own 
Even if your body I can’t see

You know I never wanted a house 
Never wanted to be anywhere for any stretch of time 
Build a life out on the road 
Just like the Indians we’d move when we got cold 
And we would stop when we found a soft patch that was flat and dry

I love you more than you’ll ever know 
Though you can’t hear me know 
And I’ll make a life for us that’s all our own 
Even if your body I can’t see

Indiana fall 
Indiana fall 
Indiana fall I’ll tell ‘em 
That’s what I always said to myself inside my head 
Someday we'll have a bed and I will love her

Indiana Fall
