Thunder Thighs (Studio Demo)

Again and again

Happy enough with this on first mix, which is nice. Somewhat XTC-ish chords and trampolining percussion-clatter, which has to pause for breath occasionally. It's got a slight ugliness underpinning it but that's fine. Lyrically it's about our dismissal of God leading to God's eventual exasperated dismissal of us. 

This God, whose existence you doubt in,
You seem to know a lot about him.
Go up to the mountain,
Tell me when you've found him there...

This God, who doesn't have a name, yeah? 
Except to pin someone to blame, yeah? 
Go up to the mountain,
Try to get out of it, ah...

'Cos it's there that I know that he will find you: 
Don't look behind you, 'cos he'll be gone,
And it's then that your pumping blood reminds you, 
How cold it feels spilling from a heart of stone.
Running cold gushing from that heart of stone, of yours.

This God, who you don't believe in,
That'll be the last and first you see of him, 
Ditto the mountain, 
Try to get your head around it, ah...

All those years I know he'd been looking for you,
To be ignored - you just said 'no, not today'.
Now eternity's stretching out before you, 
And he's letting you have it your own way,
'You don't exist' - that was all you'd ever say.

'Who are you?'
'I'm no one, remember?
