La Primera Canción 00:53
lyrics
Laws, after morals, dictate how we behave. We decide which ones to follow and which ones to disobey, based on opinions and information we can find, weighed against the systems designed to keep us in line. We made a choice. It’s up to me. I decide what’s right.

Midnight:56 00:58
lyrics
I was born innocent to Christian folks. I was raised Christian in a positive home. But I grew up a pervert all the same, and I struggle to be happy every day. I was born without desire, but that freedom was taken from me. I was born without design, but design was forced upon me. And through mistreatment I learned not to mistreat anyone. And through rationale I learned how to never get shit done. Now the hour is late and I'm alone. With solitude comes resolution, and I hate myself right now, in comfort and content, but I'm down for restitution for wasted years. I've changed my mind.

The BBC's Got a Hold On Me 01:36
lyrics
Looking through the channels, looking at the tubes, looking for something interesting but this is nothing new. I've seen it all before. This is all I know but I know that there’s more. I liberate myself when I walk out the front door, but i just keep coming again and again. It’s never going to end. I'm paid up for the year so I'm going to get my money’s worth but after every time I watch it I just feel worse. The BBC’s Got a Hold On Me and it’s never letting go. Oh, shit. It’s getting worse. I remember all the names from the lower thirds. I can put them to faces, chests, hips, waists... they’re trying to get me addicted and it’s fucking working. Shit, son. I can’t get shit done. When I close my eyes i can see every single one of them, and they’re all at my fingertips, a couple of clicks of a button and my day is gone. The BBC’s got a hold on me and it’s never letting go.

Spaceship 01:40
lyrics
Me and Gibby in a Spaceship flying to, I don’t know where. Meth bottle insatiable and sat behind us in the ship. Gibby wasn’t into it but I'm a willing second choice, so she hopped on my lap and said, “hurry up and stick it in”. I went to the shop at the back of the spaceship. I asked the guy for condoms but he just gave me a bag of crisps, so I started emptying the crisps onto the counter. I'm not sure if I was paying for the condoms with crisps or if I was just emptying the bag out so I could use that as a makeshift one. But if that were the case I imagine I'd have just eaten them. (And they were roast chicken Walker’s).

I Want... 01:34
lyrics
I Want a humane steak with fried eggs and chips. I want a girl who doesn’t shave her armpits. I want a life that I'm happy to live, and to live life live with no fucks left to give. I want to spend more time with my friends. I want to get playing in a band again. I want to go on world tours, break laws, and make sure I never see you again. I want to live on whims. I want to power through. I want to spend my days making music and films. I want to see them dancing when we’re playing our songs. I want to hear them singing along. I want to feel the force. I want a pet dog. I want Annette Schwartz to give me a fucking rim-job.

La Canción Sin Título 01:50
lyrics
every day is a battle. Some are lost but the war goes on. I'm getting back in the saddle. Reigns as my knees as I ride to the next one. Half arsed. Half committed to this farce. Half torn between two halves: Too stubborn to die and too complacent to fight. Staring through a death mask made of shit and twigs, I take eight and twenty digs. beyond the purpose that these bruises serve how many more do I deserve? How much is each one worth? Does a tree not amount to more than just the sum of its rings? Or do you make allowance for its leaves and things? Will the birds on its branches be remembered by the songs that they sing, or only by the photos that I take of their corpses? I'll meet you on the riverbed, where the fish are big and overfed from feasting on the smiling dead.

Wolverines! 01:41
lyrics
Don’t cry, let it turn to something else. We are alive so drink more deer’s blood to our health. Restore, revive, return to all the ways people survived before all of this decadence and wealth. We are Wolverines! We are, we know, we will become this countryside, and stay alive to honour all of those that died. We’ll live and we will avenge our father. Yes, their army is much larger but we’ve freedom on our side. We owe everything that we have left to Matt and Jed. Without them here to lead us we would all surely be dead. Fear is natural but not an excuse for betrayal, Andy and Aardvark are dead ‘cause you’re a traitorous cunt. We are Wolverines! We are the last line of defevvnce, this is our last stance for Colorado and the American dream. We are Wolverines!

Thanks, Tiff! 00:26
lyrics
High noon and the pavement was burning but one wore New Rocks, the other was barefoot. Longboard city from the burbs to the sea, this one’s for my homies in the MLB. Oh, what a lovely day. Top folks and proper good weather. Thanks, Tiff!

Your Life is Worth Pissed Jeans 01:17
lyrics
I've seen your smile, I've heard your laughter, I've felt the voices sing. I've felt them die and I know what comes after everything falls back away and it’s only you, and there’s nowt left you can cling on to but I don’t know you any more than you know I'm okay. And no one’s anything to help you through this hopeless task. Just ignorant advice and answers to all the questions you never asked, and “If darkness takes a hold of you you can tell it where to go. With a little help you can power through you can persevere and overcome the sorrow in your heart.” But you know better, you’ll have to weather this storm alone. You’re on your own.

about

It's fast, short and stupid. Just like when I make love. Nine songs in 12 minutes. Slightly more positive than usual, but not too much.

about

Dr. Nowt image

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
