Pitchshifter - Triad
Posted by Steve.
A bit later than expected, but this follows on from my dilemma regarding the Damnation Festival and who do I see? The previously posted Carcass or this lot of noisy oiks from Nottingham - Pitchshifter?
I have been a fan of Pitchshifter for as long as I can remember - but surprisingly I have only ever seen them live once @ The Wheatsheaf, Stoke April 1993 (I can't believe it was that long ago!) It rates as one of the best gigs I ever saw there. It was pretty early on in their career, so they still had a lot of drum machine in their set along side an awesome live drummer. They were still an industrial sounding political / anarchist band, not the kind of dub-hip hop-jungle-electronic-dance band that they became before they split in 2003.
This track is taken from the bands second album "Desensitized" - even this was a drastic step forward compared to the debut record "Industrial", heavily influenced by Godflesh, who they would later share labels with.
Drag it down if I want to, drag it down if I want to,
Cut it up if I want to, cut it up if I please.
Like never, like no, can't stand it, can't know.
It shouldn't have to be like this - like no.
It shouldn't have to be like this - like no.
Rip it down if I want to, rip it down if I want to,
Scum it up if I want to, scum it up if I need.

We shouldn't have to be like this, we shouldn't have to be like this.
We shouldn't have to be like this, we shouldn't have to be like this.
We shouldn't have to be like this, we shouldn't have to be like this.
Drag it down if I want to, drag it down if I want to,

Fuck it up if I want to, fuck it up if I want to,
Fuck it up if I want to, fuck it up if I please.
