LIVE FROM THE THIRD ROOM

MR. BUSINESS 01:26
Who's in the way? Who's got the sickness? Slowing the business, Wasting the pay? What are we for? What is the reason, I'm guaranteed, Zero hours or more? I want mine. I'll see it when I die, on my knees, In a fucking warehouse. I'll behave when I believe, That this is all we are. Haven't we come far? Well, you've done alright for yourself anyway. Dragging a weight, I am defeated, Dragging my feet, In a miserable state. You're in the way. You are the sickness. Fuck your business, And fuck your pay.
2.
DISEASE 01:12
Spit through a tight weave. Sick with a disease. Misery take-out. "I survived the Matterhorn. Praise for the hated, Debase the wasted. Face it, the faceless, Eat shit from the Thames. No more please. You're not very good. Outside their borders, They're down on their betters, But how will your team fare, When the raiders come? Bleed through a tight weave. Hearts coughed up on sleeves. Scream bloody murder, When the faceless put you in your place. Face facts: Should you shuffle off, we'd be better off. I hope, without hyperbole, you die.
3.
My friends are fucking idiots but they're my friends. I wish my friends were not my friends but they're my friends. I'd rather not have any friends but they're my friends. Fuck my friends. I don't know how but I hate them more, Than I've ever hated anyone before. Dom eats fucking Billy Bear but he's my friend. Nathan wears a tracksuit now but he's my friend. Gibby's become an old man but he's my friend. ??? My friends are fucking idiots but they're my friends. I wish my friends were not my friends but they're my friends. I'd rather not have any friends but they're my friends.

SMAIS 00:19
Suck my ass it smells.
5.
I WANT... 2 00:16
I want to die.
6.
NOTHING 01:05
I see, I want, I know, I do, I think, I feel, I believe in... Nothing. And when it's all gone, What will remain?
7.
SUNSHINE 01:58
Sitting in a puddle, Pay me no mind, Don't judge so harsh, Stay humble, stay kind. I'm nothing but a rail magnate, And this is my... Obsolete locomotive and it goes nowhere. Sitting in a puddle of my own making and I don't care. I try to keep my eyes on the ground, As I walk through town, And the sky as the sun goes down over Hulme. Is this the end?

about

First devised as something to send to promoters as a gig demo and later a vehicle to release some recordings of certain songs as a prelude to a "studio album". Some songs just being the first ones I wrote when I decided I was going to write stuff to perform live, but before I found the middle ground between needlessly layered and complicated, and 4/4 power-chordingly simple; some being songs I just don't think will make it onto the album but that I wanted there to be a recording of in some form. Also, one cover, which I think I'll drop from my set soon enough but it's funny so here it is.

It took three attempts at this recording session, and hauling a burdensome load of gear three miles to the practice space, to get something worthwhile but I got there eventually.

Recorded in a practice room at Noiseboy Studios, Salford.

about

Dr. Nowt Manchester, UK

Born at the dank floor of a ceaselessly deepening pit, Dr. Nowt, in his decreasing sanity, haphazardly hurls notes and words together, bellowing out the result upward through the void in the hope that it might reach the surface, even just to the lip of his abode where by chance, one might happen upon his cries and project outward his message of peace, kindness, hope and a distaste for humanity. ... more
