about

When your devotion to the notion of a god-free universe is tested
and you need an anthem to gain a foothold in the steeple rise.

lyrics

Draw a line under her fallen arches
Your appetites can't be removed
Eats a choc ice but her hunger marches on
You're a special girl in special shoes
Oh whether they have ever claimed the weather vane can be overcome
The fact remains the colour drains from every place you've ever run
And a poster of Honolulu is the only colour in this town

My diary is chock full of girls named Lotte
When I wake up, I'm gonna call them over
But they've all left town with guys named Trevor
I wonder why I bother to try and gain a foothold in the steeple rise
When I can't stay long
The moving mass don't move so fast
And in real life, I can't stay long

Train tracks are mackerel blue in the night air
Run home steaming from a blazing row
Lipstick lifebelts almost sank me
No one can save you now

Never meant to sound so anti natal
Had a depressed fracture in my writing hand
Living is easy but the future is fatal
You asked me nicely but I had other...plans
Oh whether they have ever blamed the family name for being prolonged
The fact remains that you're a drain on everything I've ever loved
I can't sit by and entertain the pre-ordained from heaven above
Oh, the weather vane, the weather vane, the weather vane
Can be overcome

The Anglo-Japanese band Santa Sprees have been advancing the art of unpopular song since 1994. Making questionable progress from the low-skilled, no-fidelity, no wave of their earliest cassettes to the largely futile primitive avant bubblegum of today, releasing ten collections to date on a trail of defunct labels and media. ... more
