  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Designed by BOO and made with care by their own hands you can be sure of quality and exceptional design in this beautiful CD. The 24 page booklet enhances the music with artwork and lyrics for every song.

    "We believe the album artwork is an important part of our music, which is why we take so much care with our packaging."

    The first 100 copies come with a limited edition plastic 'leatherette' sleeve.

    As this is a handmade item, please take care to not leave in bright sunlight, it may cause the inks to fade.

    You can watch the process of making this wonderful item here (it's the same net as Yesterday Tomorrow and You):

lyrics

Click click click
Fingers in your mouth
Numbers going South
Is what it’s all about

451 gonna lick the floor
Gotta be adored
S’what you do it for

Click click click
Kindle and the fire
Now your card expires
Throw it on the pyre

451 snarling on the floor
Gotta be adored
Gotta be adored

It’s always on
That thing is always on

Everything seen through a mirror
Can’t touch reality
Why would you want to be
flesh it decays so easily
Pixel vitality is immortality

Constant stream
you’ve got eyes to feed
Give ‘em what they need
‘till your fingers bleed

Fickle glory’s hard to quit
Now you’ve made a life of it
Going too fast to get off
Can’t tell them you’ve had enough

It’s always on
That thing is always on

Always hungry
Always watching
When you awake from this
you’re gonna miss the life
that you have lost
Now something’s burning

Always hungry
Always watching
When they collate all this
they’ll make a second you from chicken boxes
and dog meat

Click click click
Numbers in your mouth
Fingers going South
S’what it’s all about

451 gonna lick the floor
Gotta be adored
S’what you do it for

Everything seen through a mirror
Can’t touch reality
Why would you want to be

Fickle glory’s hard to quit
Now you’ve made a life of it
Going too fast to get off
Can’t tell them you’ve had enough

It’s always on
That thing is always on

Death to the future
Death to the past
Things worth having aren’t meant to last
Death the future
Death to the past

Always hungry
Always watching
When you awake from this
you’re gonna miss the life
that you have lost
Now something’s burning

Always hungry
Always watching
When they collate all this
they’ll make a second you from chicken boxes
and dog meat
