Sat at home with TV
That medium you'd see me
A quiet village I called home
A quiet day when I was alone
Knock at the door knocked me over
My thoughts may not have been sober
Just think what if I hadn't heard this
But my god I did not deserve this
I phoned my friends and my family
To let them know that lot had me
I saw my life flash before me
Like the cameras that caught me
They can't catch me
Cameras will catch me
They can't catch me
Cameras will catch me
I threw myself into my work
It never erased all the hurt
And then one day when I stood still
I crumbled down; I'd fallen ill
Memories
You've got them
I am gone but not forgotten
The government had gone for us
Well I'd preferred if they'd ignored us
Hypocrisy rings so loud
When half of them were at Elm House
And so they sent their dogs to snap me
And try to find out what had grabbed me
Cameras tried to catch me whilst sick
So I stayed for good in Giggleswick....

To Be Demolished

Ignore the ancient landmarks
This is the financial hub
Hundreds of its vacuous
Congregating in its clubs
Another deal is sealed
So let's break out the champagne
It might not be our money
But we use it in this game
Centuries of hierarchies
Elected on strange handshakes
It's time we saw the back of this
A culture built on fakes
This city is to be demolished
This city is to be abolished
This city is to be demolished
There are some things
That can't be polished....

Somebody somewhere must
Really have it in for me
I'm always snatching defeat
From the jaws of victory
When you have good days
You wonder why you have bad days
And when you have bad days
You don't want anymore...
So did we win the war?
Or did we lose it all?
How I escaped my certain fate
How I escaped my fate
Yes you've been hurt
And dragged back through the dirt
And your vulnerable eyes
Have seen such terrible lies
Times? Well they've been hard
And yes, some failed to start
But there is no ignoring
Those saddening stories
So did we win the war?
Or did we lose it all?
How I escaped my certain fate
How I escaped my fate

Eternally Nocturnal

The only way to get to sleep
Is with a record playing in the dark
The only thing worse than interrupted reading
Is a stratosphere so stark
Sometimes silence is like violence
Pummelling in your brain
The point at which you hear a pin drop
Is the point I go insane
Eternal...........
Nocturnal.......
My nights were days in many ways
They would kickstart my heart
When all the programmes had ended
And Ceefax used to start
Sleep is so superfluous
There's too few hours in a day
Time would be reorganised
If I had my damn way
Eternal...........
Nocturnal.......
If there's one thing I have learned:
This life we live will never work
If there's one thing I have learned:
This life of ours will never work
Eternal...........
Nocturnal.......

Liquorice River London, UK
Liquorice River take you on an aural journey fuelled by bitter nostalgia and sardonic sentimentality, stopping off along the way at junctions of 60's psychedelia, glam, dub, folk, indiepop, krautrock and interludes of both a cinematic and electronic nature. Witty poems of longing and lust narrate a sonic film about life itself. ... more
