loricatuslupus Been listening to Deadwing/In Absentia by any chance Martin? The vocal mix is great, hard to justify that as an excuse NOT to keep you *shrug* people gonna people. Favorite track: Hit Bottom (vocal mix).

Welcome to our Unicef Kingdom Gleaming towers hide our starving shame Look upon our Unicef Kingdom God you know something's got to change Sliding backwards to their golden days When those who worked knew their place Destitution is the means to motivate Riot shields and tear gas A few sliced up food scraps Is all they're willing to feed Those lucrative contracts Wrapped up in Union Jacks Are falling from the tree We're taking back control of what it means to hold this flag Instead of papering it over the cracks Welcome to our Unicef Kingdom Gleaming towers hide our starving shame Look upon our Unicef Kingdom God you know something's got to change Whip up zealotry to conquer the waves The bounty beneath would be ours to take Now it lies rotting on our decks and thrown away For queen and for country Let children go hungry As we look after our own Gaslit and broken Who's our new scapegoat then? As we all sink like stones We're taking back control of what it means to hold this flag Instead of papering it over the cracks Towing line to condemn the undeserving We stand on our doorsteps and clap Confirmation bias worshipping An age reaching for bootstraps Fatherland's infallible How dare they come to feed our poor? Display all the same contempt For the desperate people on our shores Britishness won't clothe your family National pride won't heal our sick How could you claim to love something If all your reasons are cherry picked? Welcome to our Unicef Kingdom Gleaming towers hide our starving shame Look upon our Unicef Kingdom God you know that something's got to change Riot shields and tear gas A few sliced up food scraps For queen and for country Let children go hungry

I thought I was through the woods To meet you on the other side Though your betrayal was still raw There was pleading in your eyes I rushed to heal my wounds Just to make sure I was there And still bleeding from your cheating tongue I was open for you to share But no wonder that you wouldn’t tell Who had put you through that hell No wonder it was only me And no-one else would believe For each #metoo you made their struggle much harder Those heartless bullies is who you give the power The abuse and the violence The cruel injustice Is not a toy to play with at your petty convenience But forget the hours I wasted crying For your fabricated suffering Forget the friends you pushed away They’d all see through the lies one day Forget the one you would destroy And the sympathy you could exploit You walked all over every victim To excuse yourself of your wrongdoing There’s far too many people I love Who’ve faced the horror that you dare to speak of With your deception you spit in the tears They wept for decades fighting just to get through this I won’t let this make their struggle much harder Those heartless bullies they have way too much power The abuse and the violence The cruel injustice Cannot be dismissed despite your reckless decisions And I will always listen That’s why this song was written

about

At last, another subscriber-only release for you beauts <3 I'm thinking of doing four of these every year to align with every year.

April and March have been tough months, dealing with a mountain of work behind the new single and with the Electric Lemon Band drama too, hence the name April Hours!

Don't forget to check the info/lyrics for each song as I have put more detailed information about each track for you. Would love to know your thoughts \m/
