lyrics

Light of the glow, standing there in your perfect robes
In the light, of the glow, standing there in your perfect robes
And the wall is a coming, media says something, its OK to slaughter someone body else’s kids
Always drowning something, then they keep a humming, a lack of witnesses

Colonize suffocate, raid the raiders keep on wandering away
And if you’ve seen what you’ve seen, was it through someone else’s eyes, a screen
And the kingdom keeps a pumping, heads keep a thumping,
And if you don’t see it, then it can’t be a wake
Stop speaking in tongues, light as a feather, there’s a lack of choices to make

In the light, of the glow, standing there in your perfect robes
In the timing, don’t you know, standing there in them perfect robes

In the tied, of the tow, drowning on the ocean floor
And the daggers, that they stow, waiting for their friends, not to know

In the light, of the glow, standing there in your perfect robes
In the timing, don’t you know, standing there in them perfect robes and

Row, row, row, row, row your boat, gently down the river
Row, row, row, row, row your boat, I forgive ya

In the light, of the glow, standing there in your perfect robes
In the timing, don’t you know, standing there in them perfect robes
In the fighting, in the throws, always standing there and I got to go
In the timing, don’t you know, standing there in them perfect robes and

Row, row, row, row, row your boat, gently down the river
Row, row, row, row, row your boat, I forgive ya
I don’t know, know, know, know, know, know what’s with you
Row, row, row, row, row your boat, gently down the river

This is SS achieving some kind of pinnacle trajectory. Their best sounding record by some margin and easily their most accomplished. The commitment in their delivery is breathtaking; Epic is the word i would use to sum it all up. Everything functions to drive these fantastic songs home. Some of Kyle's finest work, too. Try the one two sucker punch of the album openers if you ever needed convincing. Recorded in 14 hours but an album for a lifetime halfpenny_wayne

In some ways this is a more homogeneous listen than it's predecessor. When it kicks, it kicks like a mule, like opener "Horses". Suicide Swans are remarkably consistent - Kyle's writing still mines below the surface digging out gold from the clay of the every day. Performances are fantastic with the usual sympathetic production. Another superb record! halfpenny_wayne

If you dig The Drive-By Truckers you will go nuts for these dudes. Kyle’s song writing is first class, erudite, deep and thoughtful, lyrics tinged with a darkness and a cynicism derived from living and knowing too much. Great singing and picking all round. Sterling production by Ben Lancaster (get the vinyl if you can). A personal favourite from a stellar catalogue. halfpenny_wayne
