Any time you want some Any time you had one , etc. It’s too late to stop now - We were talking all the bets and we threw them all away Backmasked + left at the bottom of a lake The city burned down and the languages changed Ten thousand more things that I could have tried to say A hundred more years and a whole different place Count up all the chances you’ll see me again Remember these things and forget my face -

Cigarette 01:55
Took some time to write down all of my regrets Couldn’t even fill up half a cigarette Where you gonna be at when the big one hits? Taking fuckin pictures like an idiot Drinking all the rum and pissing on the maps Come home in the morning like a crane collapse We all did something wrong, Ice the wings and shoot the pilot I’ll fly fine Improvise the controls and land on a dime Coasting on the fumes of a deserted dream Until I find a better grade amphetamine We didn’t want to make up your mind Pull up the anchor make up your mind Fill in the blanks and make up your mind We didn’t want to, but we didn’t mind

Scam Artist 03:05
No one is laughing cause nobody should No one would blame you cuz you look too good The gravity’s different between the sounds There’s nobody left to not want you around All of the times you learned to bind the lies All of the things you learned between the lines It’s take just a false move to spot a liar It takes just a bad dream to start a fire The telephone, is off the hook The telephone, does not exist And no one’s buying, No one, no how
4.
Splinter 02:50
I always barely passed the test but Im never gonna learn my lesson I’m always gonna stick around just like a disease Learning how to downgrade hell with A splinter in the cerebellum The only cure is laying down so you can just bleed out I’m always gonna let you know , I could just break down Looking for a new approach but a permanent state of slow motion Is all I ever seem to find when I try to bust out
5.
X Amount 02:51
X amount of patience x amount of time X amount of seconds filling up your endless life X amount of stasis x amount of change Sitting home a remedial clone fill it up pour it out every single night X amount of data x amount of lies X amount of controls burned until the system dies X amount of your space x amount of mine X amount of future coming on coming fast smashing in your face It only ever works the only way it ever did Sign your name, and walk away

recorded tape / digital spring 2018 in shed

BJK - Guitar, Synth, Yodel
Tom H - Bass
Karl - Drums
Mastered by James Plotkin

Took a little longer than expected to finish off due to regularly scheduled illnesses and equipment failures but on the plus side there were no panic attacks or violent incidents this time around.. whenever someone in the band is on the verge of losing their temper these days we pass around a blue drumstick and whoever holds it gets to speak their mind without interruption. Tom was pretty fucking liberal with his stick time if you ask me, and Carl usually just rambles a disconnected word salad of random phrases and slurred impressions of vaguely Appalachian dialects... but a system is a system.

Most of these recordings were done a few months ago and the songs, with exception of the first and last, were originally written a few years back- making this EP about a hundred years old in 2018 time, a souvenir from an era when a building rain of molten hot shit was only visible on the horizon if you actually looked up from your phone for a minute.

Which brings us to The Present- an invisible beast, spawn of the wind and 1000 myths- you can make out the general curvature, Predator style, if you have a projector handy- but the only slides in it are of Chinese knockoffs of corporate Halloween costumes- so this at least, hasn’t changed a bit.

500mA will be back in: MOONRAKER
