Colossal Youth
Combing around YouTube looking for something interesting, I see our friend Ian has his own channel and look what he's dug up.
A fine band, those Young Marble Giants were. Nice to see them again.
It's even better when you can understand the lyrics. To wit:
If you think the world is a machine with one cog And that cog is you, or the things that you do Then you are not in this world The world is not you
If you think the world is a balloon in your head When it goes bang only you will be dead 'Cos you are not in this world The world is not you
If you think the world lies at the top of your legs And you only live when you are in bed Then you are not in this world The world is your head
If you think the world is a clutter of existence Falling through the air with minimal resistance You could be right, how would I know? Colossal youth is showing the way to go
I need to upload some Medusa Snare videos soon, The Manhattan Love Suicides split up and they formed 2 bands The Medusa Snare and the other is the Blanche Hudson Weekend, I shot a whole Medusa Snare gig

or the things that you do
Then you are not in this world

If you think the world
is a balloon in your head
When it goes bang only
you will be dead
'Cos you are not in this world
The world is not you
If you think the world lies
at the top of your legs
And you only live when you are in bed
Then you are not in this world
The world is your head
If you think the world is
a clutter of existence
Falling through the air
with minimal resistance
You could be right, how would I know?

What a seriously twisted song.

I'll be curious to see that. The Manhattan Love Suicides were a good band.
