  • Cassette + Digital Album

    a further (and, perhaps, the most natural) way of listening to this album, on a homegrown, hand-dubbed cassette. for an album where demo copies were confined within the yellowing walls of plastic and disintegrating magnetic tape, it feels fair that others should be able to have a similar experience. the full 'family values' album will be included on this cassette, along with other audio nibblets because we make way too much noise. praise be.

lyrics

walking down the street, fingers crossed in his pocket as he passed someone he vaguely recognised.
it's a force of habit, forces of habit were a force of habit to him.
rarely taking into account what he is about to do.
nothing seems to phase him.
paint drying is the equivalent of grass growing and vice versa.
so there he is, reminiscing over all the fond memories he had reconstructed down this very street.

you say you will, i know you won't.
you say you do, i know you don't.
this just keeps going round and round and round and round...
you'll never do what i had hoped.
i tried to help, you just provoked.
this just keeps going round and round and round and round...

yards ahead lay a briefcase, with some sort of contorted bulge protruding from the centre.
he opens it - and what many would consider visceral, was now conventional.
for someone who calls themselves professional, he seemed very uneducated.
he removes all of the ornaments from the case, placing them in a line as he tries to consider how this situation may have originally arose.
then again, what's the point in knowing things if no one else knows what you do or you don't know?

you say you will, i know you won't.
you say you do, i know you don't.
this just keeps going round and round and round and round...
you'll never do what i had hoped.
i tried to help, you just provoked.
this just keeps going round and round and round and round...
a vicelike grip around the throat.
thought it would stop, but i was choked.
this can't keep going round and round and round and round...
