lyrics

So croon of runes, of kings and fools
Fondly imagined past when wise men ruled
You brutal gardeners sadly mistaken
For God is nowhere and nothing's sacred
On the left side there is history
The other side of truth
Left side history, the other side of truth
One hand there is history
The other hand truth

THE ARMCHAIR SADIST'S LEATHER GLOVES
ON CLOSE INSPECTION MITTENS
FROM LOVE'S FIRST FLUSH TO TENDER BLUSH
WITH CLICHED TRANSGRESSION YOU'RE UTTERLY SMITTEN
On the right side there is history
On the left there's the truth
Murder mystery
Murder made history

The white man's got a God complex
But Jehovah is nowhere to be found
Heil Mary full of shit, empty your bladder on hallowed ground
And I'm coming for the blue bloods
I'm coming for their lives
I'm coming undercover of night, a night of long and blunt knives
Yeah I'm coming for the porcine the lukewarm the paper thin
This is about the colour of your money and not the colour of your skin
On the right side there is history
On the left we have truth
The right have their mysteries
The left we have truth

The future was never yours
The past was always your domain
The future was never yours
The past was always your domain

A punch to the face that smashes through to the other side, strong fingers mould your play-dough head into a critique of male violence. I'm tired and poisoned by masculinity. We need to start over, start again.

about

The Bordellos St Helens, UK

Midlife crisis, teenage angst, put them in songs and sell them to the Yanks...they say "No thanks"...A family business and cottage industry (that makes no money whatsoever). We're underrated and underpaid, still we refuse to change our ways. A band since 2003 but playing for far longer, accept no substitutes. ... more
