Cut Off The Head

from Compulsory Games by Battery Operated Orchestra

/

  • 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

Walk with me
We’ll go slow
The powerlines
are hissing in the snow

Standing in the cutting
where dead track lines run grey
We cross to where
the river overflowed

Something broke
in the starlit place
The veins that brought it life
leaking poison
We retrace those sinking steps
and stand with our mouths open

Something’s pouring in
A something slides away

Cut off the head
Cut off the head
Cut off the head
Cut off the head

Walk with me
in cities built on blood
Stone lions and stone dragons
want to pound us down to mud
Heat seek the source
Sub-surface rivers pool
Where clay and fat and poison rags
Standing born to rule

Cut off the head
Cut off the head
Cut off the head
Cut off the head

Walk with me
We’ll go slow
The powerlines
are hissing in the snow
Arc light flash
Lights our way
Across from where
the river overflowed

Something broke
in this starlit place
The infrastructure of the past
just rots and melts away
The veins that brought it life
leaking poison in it’s place
Something’s pouring in
A something slides away

Walk with me
Walk with me
