Mr Producer can’t be a loser
Put on your smash hit single style
Give me a booster cos I need a future
Give me a mix to make me smile
Mr Producer can’t be a loser
Put on your smash hit single style
Give me a banger unlimited glamour
Give me a hit to top the pile
I struggled so long
Played every dive in town
But always believed I’d see
Better times coming round
The lights are fading
The shadows growing long
Just need a love reaction
To my song
Mr Producer can’t be a loser
Put on your smash hit single style
Give me a booster cos I need a future
Give me a mix to make me smile
I missed my chances
But never lost my pride
Please help me out now
And make the longing justified
Is it so much to ask
Just one hit’s all I need
Can you just give me your guarantee
Guarantee
Mr Producer can’t be a loser
Put on your smash hit single style
Give me a banger unlimited glamour
Give me a hit to top the pile
Mr Producer can’t be a loser
Put on your smash hit single style

Give me a mix to make me smile
A mix to make me smile
A mix to make me smile

BETWEEN US AND HEAVEN
03:37
|
|||
|
At the present moment the fleet is all lit up
And when I say it’s all lit up I mean by fairy lamps
And as far as I can see for 6 or 7 miles
The whole fleet is lit up, lit up by fairy lamps
The whole thing is fairy land, the ships are all lit up
Even the destroyers, the ships are all lit up
And now there’s nothing at all inbetween us and heaven
Now there’s nothing at all
The ships have gone, the fleet has disappeared
We’re gonna fire a rocket, we’re gonna fire off all sorts
You won’t ever see them but you’ll hear them going off
You’ll hear my reaction when I see them going off
I’ll tell you what they look like as I see the going off
And now there’s nothing at all inbetween us and heaven
Now there’s nothing at all
At a signal by morse code
And now there’s nothing at all inbetween us and heaven
Now there’s nothing at all
The ships have gone, the fleet has disappeared
No magician who ever waved his wand
Did it with more acumen than at the present time
And now there’s nothing at all inbetween us and heaven
Now there’s nothing at all
At a signal by morse code
And now there’s nothing at all inbetween us and heaven
Now there’s nothing at all
The ships have gone, the fleet has disappeared

UNBURDENED

Words are impossibility
Blood and womb an impossibility
Brick wall is impossibility
But love exists in impossibility
Do I know you? Can you know me?
Maybe we can both remember. Maybe not
Memory is a possibility
Connection is a possibility
You are part of me
And I’m still part of you
You still exist. As do I.
Possible impossibilty. Memory impossibility
Words are impossibility
Blood and womb an impossibility
Brick wall is impossibility
But love exists in impossibility
Do I know you? Can you know me?
Maybe we can both remember. Maybe not

Battle of the beefcakes
Battle of the beefcakes
Battle of the beefcakes la la la la la la
There’s going to be a battle of the beefcake boys. Tonight !
There’s going to be a battle of the beefcake boys. Tonight !
They’ll be fighting on the beach with everything in reach
When the beefcakes fight tonight

GLOBAL CONSPIRACY
03:04
|
|||
|
Every time I think about it
I start to feel sick about it
All the times they took me for a ride
Every time I tried to break free
A feeling of inertia gripped me
And I reached for another glass of wine
The global conspiracy
To drive me insane
I’ll never get compensation
For the character assassination
When they slandered my my name all over town
Now I’m waiting at the station
For a train that will bring slavation
Never gonna get to see this town again
The global conspiracy
To drive me insane
It’s a global conspiracy
Everybody’s got it in for me
It’s a global conspiracy
Every time I think about
I start to feel sick about it
All the times they took me for a ride
Now I’m living isolation
Far away from the population
Got a shadow hanging over me
The global conspiracy
To drive me insane

ONE FALSE MOVE
05:17
|
|||
|
It’s so hard
To say goodbye
In any place or any time
It’s harder still
Through meshed wire
Crisscrossed lines across your eyes
A stencilled graticule
Like broken molecules
A rigid frame around each kiss
Greek tragedy
Falling from great heights
In my life it’s from the kerb
I finished off
My seventh beer
Loss of hope replaced by tears
A stencilled graticule
Like broken molecules
A rigid frame around each kiss
We don’t know
When the sun turned cold
But we both know that it did
Winter evening light
Fanned into the colours
The nameless tunnels of the night
A stencilled graticule
Like broken molecules
A rigid frame around each kiss

DEVOTION
03:24
|
|||
|
There’s no reason why I’d be disloyal
I could never be unkind
Something special I don’t want spoil
I’ll be waiting at your table
Just as long as I am able
You just need to send the cable
And I’ll be there right away
There’s no reason why I would destroy
The happy home that we have found
Cos I know this is the real McCoy
I’ll be waiting at your table
Just as long as I am able
You just need to send the cable
And I’ll be there right away
Do what you want to do
And I will follow you
But when all is said and done
Everybody wants their fun
Tell me something that I don’t know already
Or play your cards close to your chest
Bring me closer cos you know I’m ready
I’ll be waiting at your table
Just as long as I am able
You just need to send the cable
And I’ll be there right away

SITTING TARGET
02:49
|
|||
|
Won’t you fire your rockets into me
I’m a sitting target and your sights are trained on me
Love is a battle we’ve done 10 rounds in the ring
But I’m coming back for more
Love is a hunter and I’ll be your willing prey
I’ll sit quietly while you wait
Won’t you fire your rockets into me
I’m a sitting target and your sights are trained on me
Dig your claws in deeply I don’t mind
Though I know you hate me and you need to be unkind
Your eyes burn brightly and they’re looking for my soul
I’m not hiding anymore
I won’t struggle as you tear me limb from limb
My blood is on your pale white skin
I tried to fight you
But you stormed my barricades
My shield is down
And my bloodied arms are raised
Won’t you fire your rockets into me
I’m a sitting target and your sights are trained on me
Dig your claws in deeply I don’t mind
Though I know you hate me and you need to be unkind

VOICE OF REASON
03:53
|
|||
|
I threw away my best years, trying to fix my mind
Walking round and round inside a fence too high to climb
No guardian angels, nobody I can trust
And the masked protector is known to be corrupt
The voice of reason
Keeps repeating in my ears
The voice of reason
I understand the reason why your doors are shut
But that won’t feed the hunger gnawing at my gut
I’ve read the data and I’ve studied every chart
Too much misinformation tearing at my heart
The voice of reason
Keeps repeating the same lines
The voice of reason
The lights are out all over town
The empty streets without a sound
The voice of reason will resound
I called your name with no reply
Another tear falls from my eye
And I’ll be seeing you around
Living under house arrest, I’m staring at the walls
Marking off the days and weeks, I’m in for the long haul
I understand the rationale, the business you conduct
I carry out your orders while I slowly deconstruct
The voice of reason
Keeps repeating the same lines
The voice of reason
The lights are out all over town
The empty streets without a sound
The voice of reason will resound
I called your name with no reply
Another tear falls from my eye
And I’ll be seeing you around

NEVER TAKE THE BUS
03:04
|
|||
|
Fish can talk – Trees can walk
I’m a free agent at a prisoner’s pageant
I’m a dangerous dog – I sleep like a log
Welcome back – You weren’t missed
And your arse was never kissed
But we love you just the same
We like your mouth – But not your brain
Welcome to the chorus – To edify not bore us
A punctuation mark – Like the resting of the ark
Angel eyes on sweaty thighs
There were moments of crystalline stillness
In the end, something kills us
The urban fox exerts his right
In the canteen of the night
Welcome to me – Hobbies include …
Microwave marriage, Springwatch Hackney,
Sex, Drugs, Northern Soul
And Hammersmith Bridge is falling down
Living with a female spy
Shandy worshippers live below
Helipad on the roof
Flying high above the Westway
Never take the bus
NEVER TAKE THE BUS

RAPIDE 40 SLIDEOUT
02:59
|

Heading for a Rapide 40 Slideout
In a damp industrial town
I was caught flat footed by your fallen arches
And the walls came tumblin’ down
The bears are running round the wood today
And the snakes are hiding in the grass
You’re running out of luck
Cos somebody stole your shoes
And you’re walking on broken glass
Heading for a Rapide 40 Slideout
As the brakes began to fail
I was caught out by your snake tooth talking
And I started to believe your tale
The bears are running round the wood today
And the snakes are hiding in the grass
You’re running out of luck
Cos somebody stole your shoes
And you’re walking on broken glass
Heading for a Rapide 40 Slideout
As the picture starts to sharpen
I was caught out by a flash of lightning
And the sky began to darken
The bears are running round the wood today
And the snakes are hiding in the grass
You’re running out of luck
Cos somebody stole your shoes
And you’re walking on broken glass
Heading for a Rapide 40 Slideout

Wildly rampant but at times poppy as anything. Nightingales mould those tracks into their own shapes where shifts of pace and mood are done in a way only they can do. And by the way THIS Nightingales album is a barnstorming classic. Add to that the weird Robert Lloyd stream of words ..such a pleasure to have them.

Exceptional punk music! I love sloppy punk, but this manages to be clean without without losing any energy at all (maybe even getting more of it in the process!). Can't recommend it enough and show them to everyone I know

A work of considerable power and subtlety. Certainly a grower but I was hooked on first listen and it seems to improve on subsequent plays. Well done to everyone involved and good luck for the future, hopefully a long and successful future.
