andrewmfc Yeah, this is going into heavy rotation for me. A real throwback sound, and I meant that in the best possible way. I like the production -- it sounds like rock and roll instruments, not a morass of computer plugins that most records sound like to me these days. Love it.

Elizabeth A friend recommended this album to me and I'm so glad she did. Similar Killing Joke's earlier work. Favorite track: Baby Angel.

Amoeba 04:20
Yes I believe there’s a god And I believe there’s a devil I think there are people that have given their souls to the devil Like I told you, there are two masters The devil is just as real as god is The devil is just as real as god is I love you god I love you god I love you god Is there a god? Are we just amoeba? Reduced to traffic patterns under a microscope? Are we just amoeba under a microscope? Sure I’d love to be in heaven Who wants to burn in hell for eternity? If I’m gonna go to hell I wanna split it wide open I want them to know when I get there Let’s party If I’m getting my heaven now, And like I say I’ll pay later in hell for it Let’s party Is there a god? Are we just a wad - of gum in someone else’s ocean? Are we just a wad of gum in someone else’s ocean? I just got to heaven but I can’t stay long I just got to heaven but I can’t stay long I just got to heaven but I can’t stay long I left something in hell I’ve just got to run back to hell quickly just for a minute To pick up something I forgot I’m just going to run back to hell and I’ll be right back I just got to heaven but I can’t stay long I just got to heaven but I can’t stay long I just got to heaven but I can’t stay long Sure I’d love to be in heaven Who wants to burn in hell for eternity? If I’m gonna go to hell I wanna split it wide open I want them to know when I get there Let’s party If I’m getting my heaven now And like I say I’ll pay later in hell for it Let’s party

Kitchen 04:07
That’s absolute bullshit Is it me? Am I not doing something right here? Do I not have something all these little other people have? Am I lacking something? Am I doing something wrong for you to hit me? Am I not enough for you? What is it that I’m missing? Am I not enough for you? What is it that I’m missing? Am I not enough for you? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? You like to abuse women in your kitchen Even if that’s not your intention So this is how it’s gonna be You’ll never get that close to me A new day comes without the sun And I can’t stand this place If I could crawl into your skin I wouldn’t hesitate Walk on platforms just to reach you I chose a way Something’s burning in the kitchen Something’s burning inside I wish everybody would leave me alone To live my broken life in my broken home You’re not my mother or my father I’m not the lamb I am the slaughter Shadows hiding under windows In the pouring rain She’s got a dry sense of humor Caught wet in in the moment They’re some things that drugs can’t cure Some things can’t return I turned dead from some disease when I was 17 I don’t need to ask permission I’m gonna go ahead and do my thing You can just do whatever I can go on like this forever I like to leave the lights on When I’m home alone Something’s burning in the kitchen Burning in my soul Something’s burning in the kitchen . . . Something’s burning burning in my soul Something’s burning in the kitchen . . . And it’s ice cold Something’s burning burning in my soul Something’s burning in the kitchen Give that dog a bone Something’s burning in my soul What is it that I’m missing? Am I not enough for you? What is it that I’m missing? Am I not enough for you? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it?

Please please let me You won’t get it I want you with me I want you with me I want you With me You are not like the others When we do things to each other You are not like the others When we say things to each other Lead by the sun, Lead by the moon Come to you in a blue hued room Time is short and uncertain Morning cuts though the curtains Fell asleep with my fingers in your steak Pray the lord my soul to take... It’s a beautiful thing You’re a freak like me Right? You only do those things with me Right? You’re a mad street right? Right? You only say those things to me Right? If you lost yourself once more I'd lose all sights again Hard to erase you from my mind Hard to erase you from my time Look up to catastrophic skies You're a beautiful thing... It’s a beautiful thing I want you with me I want you with me I want you With me You are not like the others When we do things to each other You are not like the others When we say things to each other Three sheets to the quaalude wind It’s a beautiful thing Three sheets to the quaalude wind It’s a beautiful thing You’re a freak like me Right? Three sheets to the quaalude wind It’s a beautiful thing Three sheets to the quaalude wind It’s a beautiful thing

Baby Angel 05:52
I know that you’re insecure when you go out at night You plaster on your makeup ‘till it looks alright Like a moth to a flame you found a place to land in You found a spot that you can stand in You tell me about where you shop and that ain’t right Your sister asked me to come pick you up at the bus station. When I got there - you showed me a sculpture you had made out of something in the bathroom. We got in my car to drive out to the country. It was a beautiful day. We stopped at a bank to get some cash to buy beer. Somehow you managed to start a fire in a trash can. inside the bank. You started a fire. Inside the bank. You started a fire in the trash can. Inside the bank. We got back in my car. We drove out to this place called The Rock. It was beautiful. It was beautiful. I remember the time you took me to that cemetery in the town I grew up in. I’d never been to before. It was up on top of a high hill. You could see the whole city from that hill. It was beautiful. It was beautiful. We ended up at my house. And you put on my skirt. I was liquified. I was liquified. You put on my skirt. You put on my skirt. I was liquified. . One night we went to the park at like 4 o’clock in the morning. Cuz we’d done so much – well, you know. We went to the little island where the ducks live. We laid down in the cool, damp grass, i could feel the earth pressing up against my back. And I felt like I was being buried. I felt like I was being buried. I felt like I was being buried. We got back in my car. We went back to that cemetery. We stole the statue of that baby angel. We had it in our apartment for a long time. It had Christmas lights on it. I loved that baby angel. It was beautiful. It was beautiful. And we stole it from the cemetery where you’re now… We stole it from the cemetery. Where you’re now buried. We stole it from the cemetery. Where you’re now buried. I can’t let you come inside You can’t fill this hole inside I can’t let you come inside You can’t fill this hole inside

Stillness 05:14
Cool car and nice clothes you know And you’ve done something that people admire It can never fulfill you You can never be happy Think about how people react to the perceptions of others Think about that compounded by two billion people Vicious cycle What’s the next thing I need to do now? We’d like to leave With lives unsmudged Message received I’m not one to judge You rise to screams I’m not wrong to stay You reek of lies As you walk away Open your eyes This could be everything you ever wanted Everything you ever wanted Tonight she’ll come alive A cure in each hand We’ve reached the final gate As I crawl through sand A scorched face she signed Over and beyond I once sought stillness To throw what’s approaching Have a good time You can do anything that you want to Anything you want to One day a brand new species Edged on the ground today Reached that tower that’s in the sky But who’s been left to pray? Who’s been left to pray? Who’s been left to pray? Who’s been left to pray? Who’s been left to pray? It can never fulfill you You can never be happy Destroy you Think about how people react to the perceptions of others Thank about that compounded by two billion people Destroy you Its a vicious cycle What’s the next thing I need to do? Destroy you Thank about that compounded by two billion people Destroy you It’s really bad If you feed the beast That beast will destroy you Lets celebrate i know how to tear the place down Tear the place down Have a good time You can do anything that you want to Anything you want to Who’s been left to pray? Who’s been left to pray? Who’s been left to pray? Who’s been left to pray? If you feed the beast That beast will destroy you

Plague 05:02
I’ve hurt people just to see them hurt I’ve hurt people just to see them hurt Just to see them hurt I’ve used my ability to get into someone’s head (To) hurt people hurt people When you know how the brain works then you can go for it In a way that doesn’t make it obvious that you’re trying to hurt them Just to see them hurt Just to see them hurt I thought if i brought someone down there with me That I was not alone anymore If I close my eyes I might go crazy? The shades are drawn and I can’t see the skies You say this you say that and morning’s getting near I want my own womb where it’s warmer anyway It’s a stain I’ve hurt people just to see them hurt I’ve hurt people just to see them hurt Just to see them hurt Always get lost in the woods whenever I venture out I can’t read the lines that you’ve carved between your knees Sometimes when you come around you look like your in the navy The darkness comes in quick, and I think I might go crazy It’s a plague I’ve hurt people just to see them hurt I’ve hurt people just to see them hurt Just to see them hurt I’ve used my ability to get into someone’s head (To) hurt people hurt people When you know how the brain works then you can go for it In a way that doesn’t make it obvious that you’re trying to hurt them Just to see them hurt Just to see them hurt I thought if i brought someone down there with me That I was not alone anymore If I close my eyes I might go crazy? The shades are drawn and I can’t see the skies You said this you say that and morning’s getting near I want my own womb where it’s warmer anyway It’s a stain And it’s a curse It’s a plague Lifeblood flows like a river Lifeblood flows like a river Lifeblood flows like a river Lifeblood flows like a river Lifeblood flows like a river Lifeblood flows like a river
