lyrics
Now you're out of the picture
And the picture is off the wall
And the walls are gone from the temple
And temple is gonna fall
And the fall surrenders to winter
And the winter lays waste to the land
And the land sinks deep into nothing
And it's nothing we can understand
But somehow the tigers came back from the dead
Hurrah hurrah hurrah
And somehow the century was all in your head
Hurrah hurrah hurrah
When I hurtled the spear it was a million-to-one
Hurrah hurrah hurrah
But from the mountaintop I took down the sun
Hurrah hurrah hurrah
And they paint you back into the picture
And the picture goes viral online
In a world where the virus is really the world
Where burning dogs laugh this is fine
So be the red-hot miracle among cosmonauts
Be the haunting of the launching pad
Finally, finally it's here:
Your excuse to go permanently mad
So grab the biggest rock you can find
Hurrah hurrah hurrah
And go pulping the century out of your mind
Hurrah hurrah hurrah
And scream I am absolute zero
Yes I am absolute zero
Scream I am absolute zero
Hurrah hurrah hurrah
And I celebrate
Democracy's slightly immortal
So we can take a little risk
And this'll do wonders for business
Said the snakecharmer to the basilisk
Now I am out of the picture
That was once worth a thousand words
Where there once wept a thousand people
There now fly a thousand birds
Come on, celebrate
And the picture is off the wall
And the walls are gone from the temple
And temple is gonna fall
And the fall surrenders to winter
And the winter lays waste to the land
And the land sinks deep into nothing
And it's nothing we can understand
But somehow the tigers came back from the dead
Hurrah hurrah hurrah
And somehow the century was all in your head
Hurrah hurrah hurrah
When I hurtled the spear it was a million-to-one
Hurrah hurrah hurrah
But from the mountaintop I took down the sun
Hurrah hurrah hurrah
And they paint you back into the picture
And the picture goes viral online
In a world where the virus is really the world
Where burning dogs laugh this is fine
So be the red-hot miracle among cosmonauts
Be the haunting of the launching pad
Finally, finally it's here:
Your excuse to go permanently mad
So grab the biggest rock you can find
Hurrah hurrah hurrah
And go pulping the century out of your mind
Hurrah hurrah hurrah
And scream I am absolute zero
Yes I am absolute zero
Scream I am absolute zero
Hurrah hurrah hurrah
And I celebrate
Democracy's slightly immortal
So we can take a little risk
And this'll do wonders for business
Said the snakecharmer to the basilisk
Now I am out of the picture
That was once worth a thousand words
Where there once wept a thousand people
There now fly a thousand birds
Come on, celebrate

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORSsupported by 200 fans who also own “Celebration Song”
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.

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

1st listen: the record bangs hard, banger after banger. If you're into bangers you should totally bang this one!
