It’d do me good to spend some time alone
’til I remember that I’d be there.
Catch an eye in the pub’s unearthly glass –
that sucker’s drinking his life away.
Wait, is that me?
Well, it takes one to know one.
What is shame?
Well, it took more than luck to get you here.
Scrolling thoughts takes you closer to the edge,
nobody knows what the answer is.
What’ll you do when the laughter dries up?
Nobody knows where the exit is?
What is guilt?
Well, it took more than luck to get you here.
What is lust?
Lust is a tiny purpose.
What is shame?
Well, it takes one to know one.
Time is cruel,
it makes things seem better than they were.

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 “Imminently Reasonable”
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
