lyrics
Boats on Fire
Their power comes from the limousine
Their power comes from the yacht
So let’s take their toys apart
And get what they have got
Their power comes from the mansion
Their power comes from the suit
So let’s dissect the luxuries
And suckle at the root
But the boats are on fire
All smoking in a fleet
And the limousines careen
Wreaking wreckage on the street
It ain’t easy deconstructing
When you’re dancing to the beat
But I'mma get me some
Their power comes from the islands
Their power comes from a watch
And if we study all the angles of the second hand
We can climb another notch
Their power comes from a haircut
Their power comes from champagne
So let’s meter all the sugars and the ABVs
And we’ll be ridin’ the gravy train
Yeah the boats are fire
As we’re taking them apart
And my body is exploding
As I’m searching for my heart
And I’m sure that this is working
Sure as I was at the start
I'mma get me some
Their power comes from the limousine
Their power comes from the yacht
So let’s take their toys apart
And get what they have got
Their power comes from the mansion
Their power comes from the suit
So let’s dissect the luxuries
And suckle at the root
But the boats are on fire
All smoking in a fleet
And the limousines careen
Wreaking wreckage on the street
It ain’t easy deconstructing
When you’re dancing to the beat
But I'mma get me some
Their power comes from the islands
Their power comes from a watch
And if we study all the angles of the second hand
We can climb another notch
Their power comes from a haircut
Their power comes from champagne
So let’s meter all the sugars and the ABVs
And we’ll be ridin’ the gravy train
Yeah the boats are fire
As we’re taking them apart
And my body is exploding
As I’m searching for my heart
And I’m sure that this is working
Sure as I was at the start
I'mma get me some

Eyes On Backwards
by Dead When I Found Hersupported by 143 fans who also own “Boats On Fire”
This album should be ranked very high in ranks of latest industrial albums, because it just crushes the competition. THIS is how it's done people. Menacing vocals, pounding drums and haunting electronics have no mercy on your ears and leave you with not one second of peace. Play this loud and do people around you a service.

Saw Kanga last night in Houston , instantly was entranced by her sound , sucked me into the Kangakult vortex , so glad I got to see her live , should have looked into her sooner as Gary Numan was so supportive of her on the Revolution tour , oh now it’s time to catch up and get further involved

All The Way Down
by Dead When I Found Hersupported by 131 fans who also own “Boats On Fire”
That devastating and frightening atmosphere is mesmerizing. Probably the only DWIFH album I fell in love with. Expiring Time, The Unclean, Threadbare, Downpour, At Rest - these all are my favorites.

by Death ValleyAn irresistibly catchy, dreamy pair of songs that straddle the line between Italo and coldwave perfectly.

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORSsupported by 129 fans who also own “Boats On Fire”
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.
