Birth 03:52
lyrics
Wouldn’t let the sound die Again Darkness fades to light yeah Amen Troubles I’m distraught now No time Hurry, take a message We’re making fun of you all We’re making fools of you Should I take exception? They lied It’s not the way they told me This life Calling in my birthright Too late Hurry, take this message We’re making fun of you all We’re making fools of you
2.
Crowd 02:56
lyrics
I have a fear that I know I can’t hide Over my shoulder, every time I look around I feel your presence I can hear your voice Or am I just paranoid it’s a difficult choice But I see you or are you somewhere in the crowd Do you see me, or am I losing my mind? Your voice still haunts me, thanks for the memory I thought that surely this wasn’t meant to be It seems I’m wrong again, like so many times before it makes me nervous, I’m not stable anymore

Lucky 03:57
lyrics
Smooth flow, run free In sympathy you bleed You want to believe In the consequence of dreams This body's what's become your home, it's Darkest flame is it's blackest hole, you Found a heart with the strings undone, so Drop it, let it go again Take shape, take form Take 'most everything Keel haul, keep warm Bring your own head tailspin Time waits for you, but not for no-one Dashed and senseless hopes you relied upon Robbed and raped now soul's hymen's broken

Youth 04:04
lyrics
So warm outside and yet So cold inside of me I need somebody to Tend my failing body and I can feel my heart beat So weak inside of me Every heartbeat so deep inside of me I can see time just passing me by I can feel youth I just left behind I see things so cynically I wouldn't like to prove you see things so differently I wouldn't like to chose Between the two of us to Leave this charming place of ours "Setting Sun Retirement Home" With a cell to call my own I can see time just passing me by I can feel youth I just left behind I'll face the truth, now I've lost my youth I find it hard to believe

Would 03:22
lyrics
Feel Empty I'm in Flux, out of time My memory Things are hard to define One lover Caught me out at sixteen Another Brought me out of a dream Falling down again I'm falling down again Dropped down a peg or two Could I ever love again I would I'm angry 'Bout the world as a whole Not happy with this sick human show I'm friendly Wouldn't hurt anyone God help me When they're trying it on Falling down again I'm falling down again Dropped down a peg or two Could I ever love again I would Trying hard, but it's all in vain Having fun with the fools again Tarnished hearts beat a sorry song No melody, nowhere to belong I started life on the hippie fringe Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings I wanted more, but I know the score I want, Don't get... I would

Waste 03:28
lyrics
Where was Andy when the lights went on? Stating mother Hubbard come up with the song Par for the course the police said People having trouble trying to save your head So you believe in the afterlife? It's a good damn job cos you fucked up this time How you never living in ignorant bliss Head buried in the sand you can't cope with this Somebody told me you didn't have a Gunn Spending time living on the edge and having fun Life's been blessed with no reason Neither heaven sent or god given Somebody told me that we were gonna make it Without pulling punches, without trying to fake it Without sucking up to the big boys in the business You want proof boy, listen to the witness Take a trip and listen too Life's a ride and pleasures to Who's your Christ? What do you believe in? Get a life and don't WASTE it. Is this the way it's supposed to be? Oh not necessarily. Is this the a nimal in me? I don't know Where was God when you needed him most? sitting in a bar he was counting the cost King of nowhere, lord of nothing Selling his soul for a nice dry gin Severing ties and losing his friends We all know where this will end Sold his soul a long time ago And we'll all reap what we will sow Change your mind to channel 2 Escape the life that troubles you Where's your Christ Well if you only believed him Get a life and don't WASTE it. Is this the way it's supposed to be? Oh not necessarily. Is this the animal in me? Or just what I'm made to be Needed something to believe To quell this despondency Is this the craving to succeed I don't know Is this the way it's supposed to be? Oh not necessarily. Is this the animal in me? Or just what I'm made to be Needed something to believe To quell this despondency Is this the craving to succeed I don't know

Death 04:04
lyrics
I am at an all-time low yet You take me lower still My arms are out full stretch but I must reach out further You said that my love it supported you daily I needed assurance of this almost hourly You treasured your own independence so greatly Resulting in feelings been taken so lightly First you're for, then against Take no pleasure, make no sense What's good for you is good for me Is this too hard to believe? What is now is what was then Lose a lover, lose a friend Take my juice, turn me loose I hope you never live again That same sick sinking feeling Is sinking deeper still Yet my vain hopes for us they Still lift me higher You treasured your own independence so greatly Taking my feelings and taking them lightly You needed your own independence so greatly I paid for this pain unbelievably highly I've taken you down to the depths of my soul i've felt for you feelings you couldn't control Surrounded by memories of what we once were I listen for voices I'll never again hear I wish I could just hide in death for a while Losing forever the sight of your smile First you're for, then against Take no pleasure, make no sense What's good for you is good for me Is this too hard to believe? What is now is what was then Lose a lover, lose a friend Take my juice, turn me loose I hope you never live again What is mine it could be yours We could sit and talk for hours Underneath the "Burning Chrome" You used to think of this as home It's your turn to feel the pain You will never kill again Though tomorrow never comes So we were told hen we were young

about

Grain was a seismic shift in sound from our dance days and the first full demo to be recorded at our own Slug & Whippet Studios, which was a straightforward affair of a 4-track PortaStudio running pre-recorded vocals and guitars with everything else played live into a Nicam VHS recorder as loud as possible.

Cassettes of the Grain demo would be sold at gigs to cover the costs. It never made the money back because we gave more away than we sold.
