  • 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

That purple sky is nothing
beside the storm inside
We're getting changed
against our will
We're choking on our swallowed pride

The mud the blood the kneecaps
They'll give out in the end
but now we will get
toughened up
in icy scrums with fickle friends

Compulsory games
You have to play
Compulsory games
There's no getting away

Compulsory games
You have to play
Compulsory games
There's no getting away

Monkey mind came in endless sets
and set your pants on fire
Swimming round the hot jets
Dressed as angels
plucking lyres

Girls and boys excuses nooses
So touching to play dumb
The tears the rage the recriminations
The sorrys and the revelations

Compulsory games
You have to play
Compulsory games
There's no getting away

Compulsory games
You have to play
Compulsory games
There's no getting away

The fools that waste your time
and changed your mind
enforce the grinding grey of life
Cut the harness with the knife
Cut the harness with the knife

Whatever happened to the sky
You used to dream you used to fly
Slit the fear and slit the strife
Cut the harness with the knife

Compulsory games
You have to play
Compulsory games
There's no getting away

Compulsory games
You have to play
Compulsory games
There's no getting away
