SILVER BLADES I saw you gliding past a hundred times But never thought we’d ever meet You could say I finally broke the ice When I fell down at your feet Silver blades x 3 (in a death spin) love was shining bright Silver blades x 3 Two hearts burning on a winters night Skating side by side we stole the show And future plans were being made But your ex was standing in our way With a plan to make us pay Silver blades x 3 There’s going to be a fight Silver blades x 3 Casual violence on a Friday night I heard a scream I glimpsed a flash of steel But never felt the stab of pain Until I saw your blood upon the ice As it fell like crimson rain Silver blades x 3 There’s going to be a fight Silver blades x 3 Casual violence on a Friday night Silver Blades x 16 Casual violence on a Friday night

UNDER THE OVERGROUND Came too lying on my bed in a fevered state Feeling kind of weird It’s something that I ate Shadows on the ceiling They’re all dancing round Turn my head I’m looking down And the floors is upside down I’m under the overground I’m feeling very small I’m over the underground I’m feeling very tall I’m not feeling well I go to another place Looking in the mirror And the skins falling off my face Television’s too depressing It’s no help at all Gotta stop the phone from ringing Pull it out the wall I’m under the overground I’m feeling very small I’m over the underground I’m feeling very tall I’m under the overground Sheltering from the rain I’m over the underground I need to catch that train Less Lust from Protein Less Fish, Meat and Cheese Eggs, Beans and Peas And no sitting please Came too lying on my bed in a fevered state Feeling kind of weird It’s something that I ate Shadows on the ceiling They’re all dancing round Turn my head I’m looking down And the floors is upside down I’m under the overground I’m feeling very small I’m over the underground I’m feeling very tall I’m under the overground Sheltering from the rain I’m over the underground I need to catch that train

Privilege 02:23
PRIVILEGE I've got a sense of entitlement I've got a sense of entitlement Privilege and money I didn't make it Give me what's yours or I will take it I've got a sense of entitlement I've got a sense of entitlement Give me you car or I will take it If you give me you car I will break it They say that good things come to those who have to wait But I'm not waiting, it's for the taking Give me what is mine Give me you heart and I will break it I'll you give me you my love, but I'm gonna fake it Gimme x 16 I've got a sense of entitlement I've got a sense of entitlement I've got a sense of entitlement I've got a sense of entitlement

about

In the 1970s every town and city in Britain seemed to have an ice rink. Birmingham had two, both part of the Silver Blades chain. Silver Blades was where teenagers hung out, they had pop music, disco lights, fizzy pop and girls, for a spotty teenage boy what was not to like?

With the crowds flocking from miles around, there was also the frisson of territorial rivalries, and the threat of violence was never far away. Silver Blades tells the story of a teenage romance cut short by jealousy and violence.

Tracks one and three recorded by Liam Watson at Toerag Studios, June 2019, track two recorded by John Rivers at Woodbine Street Recording Studio February 2020. All tracks mixed by John Rivers between October 2019 to May 2020.
