folderol it's all about strikes now

a name
I recognise that name
It was at the center of some ticker tape parade
The lead story,
A fine example
A name, a name
A name I recognise that name
It was at the center of some magnifying glass

- Bad Mouth
You can't be what you were
So you better start being just what you are
You can't be what you were
Time is now and it's running out
You can't be what you were
So you better start living the life
That you're talking about
You can't be what you were
- Bed For The Scraping
I'm sick with this I'm sick with this
Situation avoided or just missed?
My own sweet time says it's ten twenty four
Hardly recognise simple things anymore
I don't want to be defeated
This is the point
This is the manifest
Bed for the scraping
- Birthday Pony
Это пони на день рождение
Этот чудный вид отдыха
Потому, что в собственном доме я чувствую себя гостем
Я не совсем дома
Я обнаружил эти счета
Все эти разные счета
Потому, что я не могу понять одинокую поездку до конца
Мне нужно было заняться чем-то, так что я разделил себя на два

I'm not playing with you,
I'm not playing with you,
I'm not playing with you,
I clean forgot how to play.
But you can still come around,
In fact I invite you down,
Maybe together we can wipe that smile off your face.
'Cause what a difference, what a difference, what a difference
- Bulldog Front
Ahistorical -
you think this shit just dropped right out of the sky
My analysis:
it's time to harvest the crust from your eyes
To surge and refine,
to rage and define ourselves
against your line
So sorry friend, you must resign
- Burning
There`s something acting on this body
Something goes in when nothing comes out
And someone`s acting on this information
But nothing`s registered from this location
From this site that I sense that I am, in asking
What is this burning in my eyes?
I wanted a language of my own
My lips were sucked empty and I mouthed the lines
- Burning too
Anytime but now.
Anywhere but here.
Anyone but me.
I've got to think about my own life.
We are consumed by society.
We are obsessed with variety.
We are all filled with anxiety
That this world would not survive.
- Cashout
on the morning of the first eviction
they carried out the wishes of the landlord and his son
furniture's out on the sidewalk next to the family that little piggie went to market,
so they're kicking out everyone
talking about process and desmissal forced removal of the people
on the corner shelter and location
everybody wants somewhere
the elected are such willing partners
- Caustic Acrostic
Lights out for the cynical sharps
For their wide-eyed foils and all attendant props
Supporters of flash and pan-fried fucks
Who grease like cops throwing round their weight
And I feel dangerous and vexed
Swinging two ton second guess
And every motion just cuts too cruel too cruel
And the implication is that you're implicated
- Closed Captioned
Your etiquette
Your rules on interaction
What are you waiting for?
Nobody's home we're all out trying to find one
What are we waiting for?
The recipe a clear connection the time the time the time the time
The direction we just want we don't know
This one wants the art this one wants the politic
- Do You Like Me
Your eyes like crashing jets
Fixed in stained glass
But not religious
You should pay rent in my mind
Say like the french say bon soir regret a demain
Do you like me I guess
- Downed City
I want to go
I want to get out
All guns are loaded
And have gone off now
I'm channeling 17 dead revolutions
That have long gave up the ghost
One drink of water and I'm drowning
The space between the dime and the dollar
- Epic Problem
Congratulations. Stop
Wish I could be there. Stop
Tell me something I don't know
Is there anything left to know?
Stop stop stop stop stop

- Ex-spectator
looking out for cars and mortality trying to find some sort of geometry
avoiding mistakes keep an eye on every step i take
everything is building and it appears that you're all architects and engineers
that's how it looks that's how it looks from here
i'm an ex-spectator can't you see
i'm an ex-spectator never let me, never let my, never let my vision get in the way of
here's some questions that the writer sent
can an observer be a participant?
- Exit Only
Exuent.
This is three minute access,
So pop the question.
Will we leave the last place burning?
Or do we just get leaving?
Red-light, red-light my mind moves to refuse that filter,
Are you still surprised?
Keep my back above the tire tracks.
- Five Corporations
Moves so slowly
Grows so smoothly
Takes so neatly
It's as if they belong and they've been here all along
Grows so smoothly
Moves so slowly
Takes completely
It's as if they belong and they've been here all along
- Forensic Scene
In your memory not so gentle
Perversity slash sentimental
Caught between and caught without
I'm a failure not your failure now
In and out just like a knife would tax the flesh and leave a cheap wound
Fucked and fucking love and lay
Congenitally fractured anyway
Unclipped unclean this forensic scene's all played out
- Furniture
this is a song with no words
but no one can hear the missing
they just look at my mouth
and look at my mouth and say
hey man, i know where you're coming from (yeah.. bullshit!)
- Give Me The Cure
I never thought too hard on dying before
I never sucked on the dying
I never licked the side of dying before
And now I'm feeling the dying
You've got your hands over your ears
You've got your mouth running on
You've got your eyes looking for something
- Glue Man
I spent it all
On the bag
On the drag
The sun comes up, the tide rolls out
The trucks roll by the park still a park
Where children play and pick up stones
Anything to make them feel less alone - he's alone
His mind is his own town where all his thoughts run aground
- Glueman
I spent it all
On the bag
On the drag
The sun comes up, the tide rolls out
The trucks roll by the park still a park
Where children play and pick up stones
Anything to make them feel less alone - he's alone
His mind is his own town where all his thoughts run aground
- Guilford Fall
Down at the station
We question our rations
Wut you seem satisfied with the little recieved
Fractured appetite with bismuth pink on tap
Ascetic limbs gone tight and your lips are clamped and grey
Crash your appetite erasing every mark you make
Standing in the corner while you're working up your mantra
'derail the train the train the train derail the train'
- I'm So Tired
out here
i can barely see my breath
surrounded
by jealousy and death
i can't be reached
i've only had one call
dragged underneath
seperate from you all
- In Defense of Humans
In defense of humans
Lay down your power trip
Stop toying with emotions and relationships
You don't rise when people fall
In defense of humans
Lay down your politics
They're all big money and media tricks
You don't rise when people fall
- Instrument
That one is predetermined
That one, it finds another
This one comes in one window
Sliding out the other
We need an instrument to take a measurement
To find out if loss could weigh
We need to know value
We need to place value
- KYEO
The troops are quiet tonight,
But it's not alright, because we know they're planning something.
Don't you know things have settled down, down, down
But silence is a dangerous sound,
We must, we must, we must keep our eyes open,
See what we see, what once was promised now will be.
Still uncertain?
Get off that hang, don't wait
- Last Chance For A Slow Dance
Coughing inside your coffin like at the bottom of the sea
Onside you're breathing too numb for asking so i will leave it outside your door
Warning the threat of morning that just extends you another day
Some lights were shining not much for seeing but you'll be leaving the way you came
Shot shooting
Shot shot
Shot shooting yourself again for what
To taste all the waste
- Latest Disgrace
I am a message prescient forecasting
There is a limit so take my temperature
You say "your turn" but I think the invite's open to all
So come on take your medicine
Hey doctor heal yourself or do you got too much to lose
You are a message precious extracting forging a tactic
To get your motion through
You say "don't know not sure"
- Latin Roots
Lying on our backs,
This is your parents' bed,
A good place to be laid 'cos it's so neatly made.
Staring at the ceiling,
Vein to vein the lines look the same
As the ones that you're seeing,
And then you start speaking:
Rracing your father's footsteps in your mother's shoes,
- Life and Limb
when the bit pulls tight the grip is sewn into the reins
can't breathe it out you'll just breathe it back again
you mental-pack your chambers full for no reason you can name
a boil-in-bag blook supply you know it's murder on the veins
ohh, don't you feel it now?
viva viva viva, life and limb
viva viva viva, threatening
- Long Distance Runner
The farther I go the less I know
One foot goes in front of the other
It all boils around to not hanging around
To keep moving in front of the gravity
The answer is there the answer is there
but there is not a fixed position
It keeps moving along so I keep coming along
and that's why I'm a long distance runner
- Long Division
It's a long time coming, it's a long way down, it's long division, crack and divide. This is a parting, some separation, we lay in pieces, cracked to survive. I'm not your villain, not your adversary, I'm not your reason to crack and divide. It's long division, crack and divide.
- Margin Walker
You make yourself so beautiful,
You make yourself so, so beautiful
And now i feel like i'm going,
I'm going to set myself on fire.
I'm going to set myself up at a window,
This margin walker wants a clear view,
This margin walker wants a clear shot,
And now i'm shooting it right on you.
- Merchandise
When we have nothing left to give
There will be no reason for us to live
But when we have nothing left to lose
You will have nothing left to use
We owe you nothing you have no control
Merchandise keeps us in line
Common sense says it's by design
What could a businessman ever want more
- No Surprise
Hey what's your name?
Do you feel the same way too?
Siphon fuel don't make a sound
And most of all don't let me down
It comes as no surprise
We're destabilized
Lock eyes shared plan
No c.i.a. could understand
- Oh
number one in acquisitions now there is no foreign soil go global
like a round thing go global like a hole to every
money matchmaker splicing green as fast as you can
let's break it down and
start again memo to the partners i'm changing all the locks
i'm pissing on your modems
i'm shredding all the stock chose a color for your ceiling
i'm waiting for the bottom to drop in a room so brightly lit i can't see in
- Place Position
All origins are accidental
You've got no papers and no roads lead home
Anymore
Chance is the root of all place position
All maps are random all scales are wrong
Legal illegal no passion for the difference
Legal illegal false premise forge the nation
May all your borders be porous
- Promises
Words
Words and expressions
All these confessions
Of where we stand
How I see you
And you see me
Dedications of symmetry
Together we will be
- Reclamation
These are our demands:
We want control of our bodies.
Decisions will now be ours.
You can carry out your noble actions,
We will carry our noble scars.
Reclamation.
No one here is asking,
No one here is asking,
- Rend It
Why don't you come to my house
Why don't you drag me right out
Past all the shit that i said i'm saying
Why don't you cut up my mouth
And i don't care what you use
Just don't ask me to choose
I forced a field to allow you
That's not so easy to do
- Repeater
You say I need a job,
I've got my own business
You want to know what i do?
None of your fucking business
But now I'm lying here
Knowing that business had a name,
But now I'm a number
1 2 3 repeater
- Reprovisional
Somewhere in these private minds,
The last one comes out just in time
To clear out the chambers and sew up the lips,
'Cause that's the price to pay for hoping every slip's not a slide.
In other words not to get it wrong,
It's pointless to walk when it's past time to run.
Secured under the weight of watchful eyes,
Lulled to sleep under clear expansive skies.
- Returning The Screw
A fine disservice
Deceptive, too
Check for the sender
Sender was you
Caught me wide open
No simple burn
This is complicated
Calls for return
- Runaway Return
Runaway return
Out of the ashtray, into the ashtray.
Out of the ashtray. there's nothing living,
There's nothing given,
Weekender's vision turns to working shoes.
There's nothing living, there's nothing given,
Weekender gives in, puts on his working suit.
There's nothing waiting, there's nothing imminent,
- Shut the Door
i break the surface so i can breathe i close my eyes so i can see i tie my arms to be free have you ever been free? she's not breathing she's not moving she's not coming back i burn a fire to stay cool i burn myself, i am the fuel i never meant to be cruel have you ever been cruel? she's not breathing she's not moving she's not coming back shut the door so i can leave
- Sieve-Fisted Find
Here comes another problem
All wrapped up in solution
It's ugly as it's strapped on
And twice as hard to get behind
Another sieve-fisted find
Lost, lost again. please, please let me get my hands on it.
Here comes that self-same problem
All stalled on same self again
- Stacks
This time is real,
I feel it passing through the telephone,
No one is home now,
No one is home.
These stacks,
They keep me down,
So I build some more.
America is just a word but I use it.
- Strangelight
the sun's a strange light nothing grows right anymore
scars on every stalk
whose mouth should i use to talk?
the force that marks the routine
temperature whatever degrees create the bad thing
and lay our heads in it now
it's hard to punch the clock on the site where production stopped
i'm just a warehouse filled with junk
- Styrofoam
There are no more races to be run
There are no numbers left to be won
Everybody's down we pulled each other down
There never was a truth to be found
We are all bigots so full of hatred
We release our poisons
There are no more cultures left to slide
There are no more people to be tried
- Suggestion
Why can't i walk down a street free of suggestion?
Is my body the only trait in the eye's of men?
I've got some skin
You want to look in
There lays no reward in what you discover
You spent yourself watching me suffer
Suffer you words, suffer your eyes, suffer your hands
Suffer your interpretation of what it is to be a man
- Target
It's cold outside and my hands are dry
Skin is cracked and I realize
That I hate the sound of guitars
A thousand grudging young millionaires
Forcing silence sucking sound
Forced into this conversation
So i say shine let their planets collide
This is the darkening down of my mind
- the argument
When they start falling, executions will commence
Sides will not matter now, matter makes no sense
How did a difference become a disease?
I'm sure you have reason, rational defence
Weapons and motives, bloody fingerprints
But i can't help thinking it's still all disease
Here comes the argument
- The Kill
born into race and nation
accept family and obligation
i'm not a citizen i'm not a citizen
embrace tradition and occupation
cull memory for assimilation
secure for future generations
secure for future generations
i'm not a citizen i'm not a citizen
- Turnover
Langour rises reaching, to turn off the alarm
And there's never so much seething
That it can't be disarmed
You just stop it up,
Pass it on
Shove it to shelf it,
To leave it off and turnover
Lounging against your weapons,
- Two Beats Off
I cut my nails to the quick
But still i was caught with my hand in the till
Red-handed.
Give me something,
Give me anything
The threat of everything is when it becomes nothing at all
Fingers reaching, trophy swelling
That's when desire trips me up.
- Waiting Room
I am a patient boy
I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait
My time is water down a drain
Everybody's moving
Everybody's moving
Everything is moving,
Moving, moving, moving
