lyrics

Good, I’ve been waiting for you
Now I see no sleep in your eyes
Two men have died, making your lies
Insignificant again

Go to the bridge, my husband
Meet with Eddie the contractor there
He’ll show you where your dear brothers
Expired last night

In the Sunday Business Post
There’s a piece on the three of you
Get it on your way

Moratorium: everyone reckons that we’re ok
Moratorium: everyone reckons that we’re ok

If you stay at arm’s length from our marriage
Could it get any more lonesome in here?
Oh it is truly a game played by monsters and rogues in the first place
So make haste with your dark wee dog

You’ll understand me, Eddie
As the eldest of four divil boys
All self-employed, all aggressive, all search-and-destroy

In the televisual age
Any handsome idiot could be plucked
To be all the rage

Moratorium: everyone reckons that we’re ok
Moratorium: everyone reckons that we’re ok
Moratorium: everyone reckons that we’re ok
Moratorium: everyone reckons that we’re ok

One extended piece or a 10 song cycle. Great discipline and vision; fantastic arrangements and playing; another idea every 10 seconds; clever, heartfelt and poetic lyrics. You're entering Groomworld. Land Lovers

TIERANNIESAUR!
by tieranniesaur

A pop hit! And for several good reasons. Every track is a tasty piece of work. The songs soar. Hook after hook, groove after groove, this is a party record for weirdos and you! Land Lovers
