Inspired by an indie video game of the same name, Night In The Woods is a broadside at slum landlords and property developers. The city is becoming unaffordable and off-limits, like a distorted video game. Singer and bassist Sam explains: “I think there’s a collective fury at the looming gentrification of Belfast. There’s outrage at the fact that it costs so much to live where we want to live.” 


LYRICS

Verse 1
They love it here in the quiet part of town,
Everywhere else is closing down
Filling in the blanks with overpriced apartment blocks
For 1 thousand a month you can live in this shoe box
And watch it rot

Chorus

I would rather die anywhere else
This place is falling down and I’m still trying to build myself
I would rather die anywhere else
I can’t afford the rent and I really miss my pets

Verse 2

There’s a rusty playground at the bottom of the street
Graffiti on the swingset, ACAB and a phallacy
Landlords are bastards, here we are at 23 
With a fucking can of spray paint as our only agency!

Chorus 2 

I would rather die anywhere else
This place is falling down and I’m still trying to build myself
I would rather die anywhere else
I can’t afford the rent and I really miss my pets

Bridge: 

Deposits, damp, mouldy splintered walls
We aren’t the only vandals here
You are the worst of all
Single glazed chest infections
Unannounced surprise inspections
Student loans funding your pension
Violating every section!

Chorus 3 

I would rather die anywhere else
This place is falling down and I’m still trying to build myself
I would rather die anywhere else
I can’t afford the rent and I really miss my pets
Would rather die anywhere 
Just not here

Night In The Woods

dedicated to hunter and zoe

I think I say I'm quitting drinking every other week
but it's so hard to stop when its the only thing that lets me speak
And I'm so scared, all my money's gone
I can barely walk and its okay
at least it makes it easier for me to talk

Now please don't think that I am just some drunk, because I am, 
but let's be honest, that shits pretty punk
and punk is lame
And I'm so tired of it all, so let me die,
I'll see you at my funeral

Tuesday morning, i wake up, I have some awful shakes
I go to wash my face, but all I see is someone that I hate
and I'm so scared, all my life is gone
I can barely breathe and it's okay
they hate me anyways, and none of this is real

Now please don't think that I am just some drunk, because I am, 
but let's be honest, that shits pretty punk
and punk is lame
And I'm so tired of it all, so let me die,
I'll see you at my funeral

Now please don't think that I am just some drunk, because I am, 
but let's be honest, that shits pretty punk
and punk is lame
And I'm so tired of it all, so let me die,
I'll see you at my funeral

"Mayo Supreme could be the best punk album of 2019" - DyingScene

"This album is absolutely NOT for the light hearted, easily offended, or the soft! On this album, The Muslims have made it crystal clear they are not around for the bullshit when it comes to oppression, racism, and white people problems. I’m happy to say that they’ve blessed us with 12 tracks of that as well." -Punk Black
