Fourth album from London indie/pop/electro band formed in 2000. I prefer Goddards vocals much more than Taylor, but I think Taylor wins out here. That and being a bit heavy on the techno side leaves me not caring for this too much. A few decent tracks. Slush would have been cooler without that homina-homina-homina stuff. I kept waitin' for Jackie Gleason to come on. The title track single was released back in November. Next single is Take It In.
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - We Have Love
Best Track - Alley Cats
Two people are alley cats
We have an unhappy cat
He is restless, needs attention, loses patience, seeks affection
Monkey grooms, blossom blooms
Do you dig germs, The Germs?
Well we wear each other's heads like hats
Speak in tongues like alley cats
Cradle them in both our laps
When we lie alone
Wear each others heads like hats
Speak in tongues like alley cats
Cradle them in both our laps
And we die alone
Well we sleep inside a blanket-y bed
Planted like the crocuses
In the song my mother said
She wanted us to sing
We sleep inside a blanket-y bed
Planted like the crocuses
And I wish my mother could
See the ring I got
Oh oh there is no pain I know...
The other night you said you might try to kill that thing I love
It is too strong for you, it is encased in glass and stone
The other night you said you might try to kill that thing I love
It is invincible, it is encased in glass and stone
You painted a song, you painted a song
It started when I was young and now it is in my lung
You painted a song, you painted a song
It started when I was young and now it is in my lung
Two people are alley cats
We have an unhappy cat
He is restless, needs attention, loses patience, seeks affection
Monkey grooms, blossom blooms
