i saw this and thought of what to write

david, here's everything i can think of that might want to get used in terms of credits. i listed everything, but cut out whatever you like. the only thing i think we are bound to including would be the credit to kodwo eshun for permission to quote from his book.



tape noise
adrian elmer - production, voice, glockenspiel
david hughes - production, guitar
marcella hughes - voice

listen, it's in the details


blending the edges
adrian elmer - production, voice
stephen fox - effects
david hughes - production
marcella hughes - voice

see the tree standing on top of the dusty hill
drive around here for hours, it's all the same
you can pray all you like for rain but you're missing the point
if the roots are deep enough the sheep will sit in the shade

i'll never do it again
i promise, i'll never do it again

gloria, the life's already there, the life's already there


this is the new thing
adrian elmer - production, voice
marcella hughes - voice
david hughes - production
blake wassell - guitar

falling out or falling in
i'm not really ready but i'm jumping in
and the way ahead is very long
and the night is dark and your will is strong
which are worse the punches or the lies
or the years together now denied?
"and every prediction is coming true
and every prediction points to you"

i can feel the bones beneath my skin
every one is digging in
don't desert me once again
where are you my only friend
"and every prediction is coming true
and every prediction points to you"



send away
adrian elmer - production, voice, guitar
marcella hughes - production, voice
david hughes - production

i'm here now for you, i've come to take you
i'm here now for you, i've come to wake you up, up
i'm here now for you, i've come to wake you
i'm here now for you, i've come to take you away with me, away with me

a part of you is crying, a part of you is dying
as you slowly harden your heart
you're coccooning lies, seems you're cradling(?) evil
you deny him

you're denying love from the outside
you're only listening to lies from the inside
send away the lie, send away the lie, send away the lie from here
send away the lie, send away the lie, send away the lie from here


requited love
adrian elmer - production, voice, bass
marcella hughes - voice
david hughes - production

do you still see the scars on my face? do they bother you at all?
do you still hear the tantrums in my voice? will you reach down when i fall?
do you still see the wrinkles on my heart? do they bother you at all?
do you still recognise the selfishness in me? will you reach down when i fall?

'cause when you look at me
and see what's really there
when you look at me
and place yourself there
your love is requited

do you still feel the sweat on my back? does it bother you at all?
do you still feel my wanderlust? will you reach down when i fall?

listening in for static
adrian elmer - production, voice
marcella hughes - voice
david hughes - production

i've never been hardcore
i've never been true to my roots
so look into the future baby
and listen to the future baby
we float around these days
and never really enter in
we twist the meanings of useless words
that would otherwise mean nothing
i've bastardised every piece of music i've heard
and just strung together every little shard of culture
don't break my fall
i always wanted to know that feeling
