I've seen it in black and white
That spirit, that will to fight
No hearing, no sight
They'll not take me tonight
I'll drag these broken bones
Away from this earthly home
These folks I've always known
Must leave them all alone
Keening
Keening
I never knew the meaning
Keening
Gotta go
Gotta go
Gotta go
Gotta go
Stubbornness like a mule's
Won't suffer any fools
Fuck you, and fuck your rules
I'm sharpening my tools
I'll dream of you still
I'll think of you still
Of your iron will
And acrobatic skill
Keening
Keening
I never knew the meaning
Keening
Gotta go
Gotta go
Gotta go
Gotta go
Go

Remember days of endless football
Headers and volleys on the green
Skins and shirts and six-a-side
And tell me, what does offside mean?
Months of sunlight every week
And breaking into the village hall
I guess it never seemed it at the time
But didn't we really have it all?
I close my eyes, and I'm back beside the river
Sunburned nose and scratched-up knees
Waiting patiently for that greedy old kingfisher
Whatever happened to days like these?
That was so very long ago now
And time has flown by oh so fast
Now all I think about is Covid-19
And when we can go back outside at last
I close my eyes, and I'm back beside the river
Sunburned nose and scratched-up knees
Waiting patiently for that greedy old kingfisher
Whatever happened to days like these?
Whatever happened to days like these?
Days like these

The Lies You Told

The sky's all black, mixed with blue
This twilight scene was set for you
The sky's all black, mixed with blue
This twilight scene was set for you
The lies you told, they ring so true
Oh, why is the world like you?
The lies you told, they ring so true
Oh, why is the world like you
So insincere?
The sky's all black with faded blue
This morning scene was set for you
The lies you told, they ring so true
Oh, why is the world like you?
The lies you told, they ring so true
Oh, why is the world like you?
The lies you told, they ring so true
Oh, why is the world like you?
The lies you told, they ring so true
Oh, why is the world like you?

Mr Wu's Pigs Deal, UK
The brand-new five-track DAVY DOES KENT EP is now up for pre-order!
Pairing catchy
tunes with lyrics that claw at the human underbelly, Mr Wu's Pigs lays raw but melodic vocals over jagged power chords and unrelenting drum patterns. The songs have led to Mr Wu’s Pigs drawing unexpected comparisons to acts such as Buzzcocks, T Rex, Bauhaus and Nirvana.

Mr Wu's Pigs recommends:
This is by far my favourite record of 2017. I play it all the time. It's heavy but poppy and grungy and fun.

The Land and the Garden
by Vic Mars
Everything Vic Mars does is worth checking out, but this is particularly brilliant: electronic pastoral music.

The Long Knives
by The Long Knives
I've been watching The Long Knives play great shows for the past seven years or so, and they never disappoint. This album captures them perfectly.

Higher and Higher Forever
by Zero Percent APR
Lo-fi indie that recalls the glory days of Shrimper and Shimmy Disc, where rock-solid melodies sit inside rickety instrumentation.

Nyxy Nyx - Thee 3rd Album
by Nyxy Nyx
The terrific new record from Nyxy Nyx recalls the best of the early ’90s—slow-moving, shoegaze-adjacent songs with woozy melodies.
