it's kentucky fried friday
sitting in the services
chowing into to chicken
like a wolf with a thirst for it
some lads enter
one's wearing a backpack
look across at lee
and we have to hurry up
cos we can taste the suspicion
he gave a wink, gave a nod
they ordered a bargain bucket
but we know what’s going on
we saw the sweat on his brow
he gave a wink, a suspicious cough
we dont wanna be around
we dont wanna be around
we dont wanna be around
when one of them goes off
then we're walking round canterbury
killing time between beers
engaged in intelligent conversation
about paul gascoigne’s career
when a family walks past
they're all dressed in black
i look across at lee
he has a panic attack
because he can smell the suspicion
they're all huddled in a group
just out to do their weekly big shop
but we know the truth
we saw the sweat on their brows
is that a ticking noise or a tut?
we dont wanna be around
we dont wanna be around
we dont wanna be around
when one of them goes up
I’ve seen the news
exploders are everywhere!
I’ve seen the news
be scared be scared be scared!
I’m sick so sick of living in fear
of men with backpacks, men with beards
so we go to the gym
cos we’re starting to bloat
fatter than elvis
before he took a shit and croaked
then an irish bloke enters
carrying a duffel bag
i look across at lee
and he starts to look scared
does that bag contain his gym shorts and shoes
or is there something else inside?
is he here to work on his abs and biceps
or has he got something to hide?
cos we can smell the suspicion
a bag of nails? no one knows!
we dont wanna be around
we dont wanna be around
we dont wanna be around
when one of them explodes
On their debut record, the London hardcore upstarts cross-up mosh-ready fare with melancholic ambient passages, weeping guitars, and virtuosic vocal harmonies, but its romantic veneer is much more complicated than it seems. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 30, 2019
Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
