2020 year of the metal rat

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

lyrics: 
we could go to sleep
put it all to rest
laying your head down onto my chest
this where it ends
its hard to pretend
that everything will just be fine in the morning
3 more weeks
2 more days
1 more chance to make me stay here
ive been up and down that avenue
youll never see my point of view

left my tears on the nightstand
eyes wide open
sirens in the distance
digital world left me
feeling fuckin distant
i came back feeling like im nonexistent

feel like my mind is changing
fading away from the high i was chasing
looking at the problems im evading
think ill die inside this room instead of forever decaying

we could go to sleep
put it all to rest
laying your head down onto my chest
this where it ends
its hard to pretend
that everything will just be fine in the morning
3 more weeks
2 more days
1 more chance to make me stay here
ive been up and down that avenue
youll never see my point of view

why is it so hard to kick these habits
why am i melodramatic
better off left in the past tense
ill make like a ghoul and vanish x2

we could go to sleep
put it all to rest
laying your head down onto my chest
this where it ends
its hard to pretend
that everything will just be fine in the morning
3 more weeks
2 more days
1 more chance to make me stay here
ive been up and down that avenue
youll never see my point of view

"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
