Angst In My Pants

Sherlock Holmes

Nature of Nemesis

You choose an enemy
To make you feel good
You forget what's real
Your tribe wears jersey of should!
Protectionist turf
Around the lies you are told
Then believed by the blind
Hence brain bias unfold

For milenia religions make mutes
Feel that external power
Or bare wrath of the brute
They keep you quiet
And make mist of your shadow
Your dark pain can light up
And show you 'aint hallow

Ok, you believe and feel the power outside
Just placebo can seed confirmation of white lies
It's mass mind control
And mutes most of your souls
The same shallow vision now finds modern trolls

Political fakes
Material hacks
Got plenty of food
To keep your chains around your backs
Info is free for lots of lucky beings
Well, ears reap what was sowed
If shouters fill your scenes

Dreams of a car
Dreams of a house
Not enough holiday
So you blame meekest mouse
The shouter blamed immigrants
They're the enemy!
While the shouter took the loot
From all and everybody

The enemy is you
Your shadow will tell you
Inside holds the clue
To true God and life true
When you feel your pain
And stop all the blame
The nature of nemesis
Disappears from your name

We still have targets
Bigots to level
Compassion can court
These clowns to new revel
But enemies
Know...
'Just choose deaf and dumb
Inspite of their senses
Being potential for one

Nature be friend
Mute the nemesis
We won't find our end
Nature be friend
Mute the nemesis
We evade our end




Nature of Nemesis

Always Somebody

Most other musicians, when they've been working for over half a century, are resting on their laurels, basking in the warm glow of their heritage, accepting the odd Lifetime Achievement Award, playing the odd Greatest Hits tour and concentrating on shifting their back catalogue. But Sparks are not most other musicians. They are utterly unique.

Levels of interest in the work of Sparks - brothers Ron and Russell Mael - are at heights unsurpassed in their 50+ year career, with the ultimate cult band now centre stage in the full beam of the spotlight.

Now into their sixth decade of making music, Sparks have never been more relevant.
