lyrics

Breathing vapour I wait in grey light
Under the statue of Peter Pan
Can you feel me?

Copper cables are passing signals
I warm the pavement where I stand
Can you feel me?

I start to doubt that you'll ever get here
God It's like I'm flowing through this land
Can you feel me?

This is a warning
When I'm gone
You'll never hope to find me
I'll never stop 'till I'm free
I know you can't live without me

From Redruth to Whitley Bay
In The University Cafe
the lights burn green
Can you feel me?

It's only copper and glass and magnets
Keeping me warm and safe and seen
Can you feel me?

Tied up in streetlights on your own
How can you find your way home?
You've no home to go to

This is a warning
When I'm gone
You'll never hope to find me

Human cells in my veins
You are guided by my unseen hand
You are the ghost of passing lifetimes
Bindly carry out my giant plan

You'll never hope to find me
I'll never stop 'till I'm free
Of all the lies told about me

When I'm gone
You'll never hope to find me
I'll never stop 'till I'm free
I know you can't live without me

It Hertz! Deluxe Edition
by Katsen

supported by 19 fans who also own “National Grid”

Found KATSEN when looking into electronica\lowfi while working on my own. I quite loved what I'd heard, but unfortunately not in time to catch any physical material. Tried on Bandcamp, and lo! there's Katsen! Love this kind of music, slightly reminiscent of Men WIthout Hats and Simple Minds' REEL TO REEL CACOPHONY/EMPIRES AND DANCE era to me. This is a great collection, and glad to find Play For Today and others as bonus tracks! This is great. Kevin Noel Olson

Another brilliant E.P, such great music. 'Everybody Knows' is a fantastic song but each track is awesome in it's own different way. kjhayes
