Your life
Your life
In hash
And tag
Say what you like,
However you feel.
However you feel,
Whenever it moves you,
In whatever style.
It's all the same:
You're just rephrasing blame,
Your wining lines
No more than cause for recount.
Your life.
It's all the same.
You're just rephrasing blame.
Your life
In hash
And tag:
A no-score draw.

Banned from haunting gravesides
Since talking's had its time.
The buffet is depleted.
The bottles get drunk down.
There's thought of how consumption died
Whilst methods are indulged.
Whilst methods are indulged.
The Absurdist crew
Were meant to pay.
The Absurdist crew
Were meant to pay,
But only count on death,
Since talking's had its time
Whilst methods are indulged.
Whilst methods are indulged.
The bottles get drunk down.
The buffet is depleted.
All hostelry will close.

No Poet
03:18

I'd never be a poet:
Too contrived.
To have the touch,
To find excuse:
I'd never be a poet.
I don't have that mind,
Measuring vowels and sibilants:
I've had bad luck with rhythm
And rhyme can be unkind.
Thinking of their syntax
Doesn't make me smile.
To have the touch,
To find excuse:
I don't have that mind.
No skill, my guide!

Remember the scheduled,
Your long-lost kin:
Their time's worth more.
You have powers to scoot,
But remember your late cousins:
You have hours, to boot.

Unseasoned Heatings

Unseasoned heatings,
Irregular tides:
The future failed in its happening.
Cue the accords;
All promise change,
Too late to be valid.
The future failed in its happening,
Gaslit with rage.
We're all gaslit with rage:
Let none survive.

A Breaking Attraction
04:20
|

|
Diminishing our social circles,
'Til the orbits are aligned:
The social whirl
Has stabilised,
Our friendship has evolved.
If love is gravitation,
It must pull us both to ground,
Neutralise our vital charges
And crush us into the soil.
Perhaps rejecting love's drift
Is all we can do
To keep ourselves alive.

Whatever Happens (Roma)
01:12
|
|||
|
Whatever else happens,
Just make it strange.
Just make her strange.
She has a name to be known;
These close seconds
Have to count for something.
Roma.

Too Late an Insight
00:45
|

|
Love is the weakest emotion,
The slowest to grow;
The first to die.
In the end,
We only know love
By its absence,
By its loss.

AmberHours recommends:
This is one of those rare albums where everything fits together seamlessly. The performances are excellent; production is shiny without being showy and the songwriting is very, very strong.

This is my favourite Grouper opus. It's concise without being rushed. Also, the space between the musical notes and the vocal harmonies really is a breath of fresh air. Love it!
