Monkey Boot Boy Sonny tell your teacher You better not go home Your lessons are not streetwise And your thoughts are monochrome Shift yourself onto the top Bottoms call the shots Strap your braces on real tight Clamber to the top Preening for the camera Shaven head to toe Randy porno preacher He’s plastered for the show Leper headed creature Broken use and cloned Heading for a beating Rowdy lemon moan Monkey Boot Boy Take good care Think of me Cast away Feel your fate Monkey boot boy Monkey boot boy Monkey boot boy Handy creature feature Rolling in the mud Recommended reacher Drowning in the flood Come on share your feelings Show them to your friends It don’t seem appealing To never make amends Gasping for the weekend Gloomy in the week Multi-culture reaper Barely learned to speak Lonely disillusion You’re better off at home Reconcile your future No road leads to Rome Take good care Drink to me Blast away Feel your fate Monkey Boot Boy Monkey Boot Boy Blast away Think of me Feel your fates Take good care Pass away Drink to me
2.	02 The Humatica 04:47	lyrics	buy track
The Humatica It comes to this? A silent gliss The quiet, of the lost The melody of ancient trees Pulls your cities down Pulls your cities down, down To recompense, this present tense Call me, without answer This loneliness a final test Cry for, cry for downfall Cry for, cry for downfall I would name this. Name this: The Undoing. Like the tapestries of Penelope, I witness the unraveling of progress. My eyes follow the streaks of a passing civilisation, that would seep into the corners of my vision. There is a stillness that curls from the earth, like a vapour that purges the last echoes of humanity from this forgetful land. Time counted by the labouring footfalls of this so-called-human, who measures decay in metres-per-second While eons melt into moments. The failure of humanity to prevent its downfall is laid bare with the setting of every sun Like rounded pebbles of a riverbed, history moulders, submerged in the ceaseless stream of time. And me? Immovably mobile. Unable to stop. Forced to run, forced to watch. A lonely being set loose, left to watch it's creator destroy itself. (Forced to watch. Forced to run) This melody, das mechanik Bygone revolution I'll recompense, to make amends Running, wanting function Running, wanting function

Voices Can you even hear me cry out loud? I’m martyred when I call How am I meant to feel here lashed and bound? Whilst standing on the wall Beaten by genetics oh my lord! I’m loyal to my foe Tarred and trapped without a home You don’t understand me lying prone I’m crawling through a fog What you gonna do when the night is through? (waoh-oh) Stand your man face by the wall (eh-eh) Preacher, bleacher by your leave (hey-hey) Stomping by your lady’s eyes (okay) Voices I hear your voices Voices I hear your voices Baby don’t need no golem rings Untroubled by your lore Serenity is welcome here my friend Beholden to my joy What you gonna do when the night is through? (waoh-oh) Stand your man face by the wall (eh-eh) Preacher, bleacher by your leave (hey-hey) Stomping by your lady’s eyes (okay) Voices I hear your voices Voices I hear your voices Voices I hear your voices Voices I hear your voices

I’m one I am not completely like other people People dislike me because I am not completely like them Because like them… I cannot describe it I am not completely like them People dislike me because I am not completely like them And at this moment I cannot describe an illustration I am told this is not the way other people talk and think I am told that this is not the way other people talk and think I’m supposed to not be mentally well No doctors told me The psychiatrist decided that this is the situation for me I’ve told the truth It has been about health and hell It has been about health and hell It has been about health and hell It has been about health and hell I’m trying to do with my life something which few people try to do This influences my thinking and consequently my actions People dislike me because I am not completely like them I am not completely like other people People dislike me because I am not completely like them I am not completely like other people I’ve told the truth I cannot describe an illustration It has been about health and hell It’s been about health and hell I’ve told the truth People dislike me because I am not completely like them I am not completely like other people People dislike me because I am not completely like them I am not completely like other people Those who dislike me want to find a worse place for me Those who dislike me want to find a worse place for me Those who dislike me want to find a worse place for me

The Hixton Vibrator Find him at home under the bed David, he moans, his friends are dead The monster purrs, hidden away Destroys the world, “oh what a shame!” Pulsating lance of sound, it pulls Your cities down. Entropy calls The ladies blush and fall apart, When David shows his killer shaft Heard it from a friend of yours Tell me what it’s s’posed to do Drive a wedge into your pores Keep the peace and end all wars Atlantis cries and turns to dust Pangea moans but readjusts The lands of Mu are swallowed whole Atomic soup, seismic dipole Heard it from a friend of yours (called it Hixton Vibrator) Tell me what it’s s’posed to do (what’s the Hixton Vibrator?) Drive a wedge into your pores (get your Hixton Vibrator) Keep the peace and end all wars (got your Hixton Vibrator) (Got my Hixton Vibrator) (Got your hixton Vibrator) (Get your Hixton Vibrator!) With crowded head and 2D mind A thickening of local time I’ll take an axe and all my tools “Blast that Machine!” and down it falls Heard it from a friend of yours (called it Hixton Vibrator) Tell me what it’s s’posed to do (what’s the Hixton Vibrator?) Drive a wedge into your pores (get your Hixton Vibrator) Keep the peace and end all wars (got your Hixton Vibrator) (Got my Hixton Vibrator) (Got your hixton Vibrator) (Get your Hixton Vibrator!)

The Metal Man We see the knurl Through the prospect of an allied social world It played in space Despised by you Fixated on a human race Antimony A flame-retardant poor conductor of my heat The Metal Man Is driving though the undercurrent of your world The catacombs Designer living for the disenfranchised ones Morbidity A higher being seeding everlasting clones Mechanical The way and mean eliminate organic fun The Metal Man Is screaming through the inter-current of your world The Metal Man (repeat) I don’t care for validity I don’t care for your CCTV Crossfire zone in the dying whore Animal nights on the silver floor Nuclear core breed the phoney fear No fly goon in the atmosphere Teletype dreams in the aftermath Asphalt scene is the infant poured The Metal Man (repeat) The planer roared A dying ember silent and the world restored A sea of zinc An iron creature doting on a world so bleak The visitors Admiring all the beauty of the platinum peak The Metal Man Is scheming in the inter-current of your world I don’t care for diversity I don’t care for your EEB Long-form smile for the dying whore Calcium drones comb the livid floor Nuclear fire needs humanity Cross that line blame the Horsemen Four Preach your last in this holy heat Windblown sigh as the echoes weep The Metal Man (repeat) I don’t care for validity I don’t care for your CCTV I don’t care for diversity I don’t care for your EEB The Metal Man (repeat)

Want to see your children die when there’s a cure? Elementary, raisen, brazen, over-sure Fall from incredulity to paranoid Hair-cuts, fair cuts, scream for daddy-o Fall and kick and cry and roll upon the floor Mamma only dreams in screams and thoughts impure Got a remedy for this, essential oil My time, my time! Screech for daddy-o! Riding on the tails of matrimonial law Ordinary laces, racist overture Reminiscentitlement is under-awed Watch me screaming kiss me daddy-o Watch me screaming kiss me daddy-o Watch me screaming kiss me daddy-o Watch me screaming kiss me daddy-o Goodness gracious!

The Holy See The night is howling with apology bores We keep a running tally of the bezoares A feeble swaying motion as you decay I’ve got to give it to you Holy See The preacher gagging on the silent preserve His turpitude is pray hysterical shirt Fifth century noble claim canonical play I’ve got to hand it to you Holy See La…la…la…la…la… Two billion dollars shrink a casualty curve The praying for deceit Remarkable nerve The pious wanna be a natural reserve I’ve got to hand it to you Holy See Madonna bleeding from the armpit observe Machine gun teacher raise a fist to the first The pain is creeping from the jaw to the day I’ve got to give it to you Holy See La…la…la…la…la…

I think we should take care of you Oh, I can see your porky-pies A reckless need to fortify Your swagger and your attitude You’re callous in your platitudes There’s safety in your London home But outside is beyond the dole You represent no self-control Your influence is overdone Legitimacy has fallen through We’re swimming in this liberal flood A member of the bourgeoisie A blonde hell bombshell never pleads A watermelon, single lies A target for your racist ire A mother’s love to ease your wounds I think we should take care of you

It’s Called Nature When did the castle burn Leave the pylons in disarray When the chromium thinking ports It’s fortunate wind today If the simpleton heeds the call Then our facetime just blows away Wear that tangerine oh-so-coat In case the landship just drifts away Something went wrong Drown in the bass line of a mystical song Painting our faces yellow Stand in line your hard down time Praying that I’m next in line It’s called nature Never, ever told ya Didn’t get to hold ya Sad I’m gonna miss ya… The Red World It’s a dead world The Red world It’s a dread world The Red World It’s a dead world The Red world It’s a dread world… Did the revelant call you up? Shedding harmony cream of doom I think the border man gave you more See my hollow-eyes fading grey…. Hear the sound of the siren crowd Strain the mist of a binding theme A remarkable man you thought As the mind warp approaches green Something went wrong Drown in the bass line of a mystical song Painting our faces yellow Stand in line your hard down time Praying that I’m next in line It’s called nature Never, ever told ya Didn’t get to hold ya Sad I’m gonna miss ya… The Red World It’s a dead world The Red world It’s a dread world The Red World It’s a dead world The Red world It’s a dread world… It’s called nature Never, ever told ya Didn’t get to hold ya Sad I’m gonna miss ya… The Red World It’s a dead world The Red world It’s a dread world The Red World It’s a dead world The Red world It’s a dread world…

This is what stripped down electronic music should be. Clever, catchy and it has the 'I stay with you' factor. Killer track 'The Single off the Album'. A brilliant album. Listen to this. Buy this. Chrysalid Homo
