lyrics

[intro]
V1: change / oh change / is it only worth / as much as you can prove? / and I pray in vain / oh / that you'll start to / wonder if it's true
V2: we've paid / oh we've paid / more than any two / should ever do / and you say again / no / "I won't be the one / who get's to choose / for you"
C: Don't you know / when I'm alone / when I'm alone / I'm [waiting OR praying] for you?
[synth]
V3: wait / oh wait / just another day / again / and I stay away / oh / long enough is only / who knows when
[C]
Mid: well I know sometimes / when I look at you / you just see everything / that I put you through / it's only now / I can imagine you / gone / you're gone
[C]
[end]

Sogni
by Primo!

Interesting feeling to this--enervated and yet still nervy and alert. I think Wire, The Raincoats and Gang of Four (sans white funk). Love the purposeful guitar work and endlessly quotable lyrics. Swim Lanes

Spitting Out Moonlight
by Hierophants

Future generations will revere this as a genuine Aussie punk/post-punk classic. Suburban Lawns, slight Devo & heavy Plastics vibes. Don't act like you don't lose it when Carbon Copy comes on too. Swim Lanes

Digital Stimulation - 1980
by UNITS - Scott Ryser

When I first heard this I thought: 'Why hasn't this been brought to my attention already?'. Shame on me for not having known about this sooner. Perfect, so perfect--the pinnacle of synth punk. Swim Lanes
