Hey bro, this I know,
you’re gonna hear this anecdote.
You might even believe it.
We never know.
Come here, give me your ear.
I’m gonna say what you want to hear.
I think you really need it.
Here we go.
Steve, you had to be there,
Stephen.
There was this time.
Are you listening? There was this time.
I can still see the traces we left behind.
Heyho, we didn’t go.
You missed so many great episodes.
Your father was racist.
You didn’t know.
Steve, you had to be there,
Stephen.
Well I can’t turn on you,
when I could learn from you.
We talk like we’re oscillating.
We thought time was just a plaything.
Remember us? Remember that we were quite the bunch.
Our parents were worried,
and we were calm.
You see, we were never warned,
some of us callow, some premature.
Your mother’s from Surrey,
your dad from Caln.
Steve, you had to be there,
Stephen.
We’ve grown with you,
we really like you,
and it’s your birthday,
Steve.

Duncan Fleming's absurdly underappreciated War Against Sleep's latest wonderful album. Brilliantly melodic, expansive, inventive and sleazy glam with some of the funniest lyrics you'll ever hear. Landslide Purist
supported by 6 fans who also own “Birthday Attack”
Sounding like a more dark and oppressive Vashti Bunyan record, every track is a highlight on this excellent debut.
(Also the lyric book is sick :p) billsladdy
