Words Without Worry

People who know me - hi - will know I'm a stickler for details, practices and rules. I like them, I enjoy them. One of my rules is never reading lyric sheets in albums. It's not the hardest or fastest rule in my collection but I tend to stick to it. The only time I really break it is when we're putting lyrics on the site. I like to not read lyric sheets because some of the best lyrics in the world don't exist. Not only does this mean you get the pleasure of having heard them but also, you get the benefit of being able to claim them. It's win win.

One band for whom I know very few of the actual lyrics is ¡Forward, Russia!. However, having just had a look at some of the lyrics for Fifteen Pt. 1 I swear, I will never, ever know the lyrics it turns out. My best guess would be absolute pissing in the wind. Here is a little sample of just that song alone;

in a portent of removing logic
you took my head and built a supermarket on it
digging while dusk still showed
and the marching band was just another fucking mirage
or a car key
a car key to help us free the hole

The next line is in a pretence of inducing vomit. Absolutely superb. Oh and the Leeds quartet might be due our first re-appraisal since the site's inception as we go from respecting and enjoying their debut album to absolutely flat out loving it. Now that's just another fucking mirage.

¡forward russia!, lyrics
