lyrics
New Year
It’s a new year in an old house
With more technology you’ll never understand
Break out your typewriter with your “thees” and “thous”
Smearing old words with your old hands
You’ll call me Cassandra; I’ll call you King James
And all we write is true and all of it insane
But the changing of the seasons will forever stay the same, you say
The infantry’s retreating
Like they knew how this would end
Did you hear the Germans lost the war?
I bet they could use a friend
Right now supper’s getting cold
Right now God is growing old
Right now dialect is evolving
Outside this house
Or so I’m told
It’s a real fear for you and me
Burning clothing just to keep the winter warm
My fingers trace the gumline of a skeleton key
Not caring whether it could open up the door
And the faces at the window are children in the womb
Black-eyed and still but growing every day
You’ll die on the outisde or die in this room, either way
Our infancy’s receding
We’re a heartbeat from the end
Did you hear the madmen lost the war?
I bet they could use a friend
Right now supper’s getting cold
Right now God is growing old
Right now dialect is evolving
Outside this house
Or so I’m told
We’re stockpiling warheads, we’re stuck in the past
Death is art, truth is beauty, and the first shall be last
You’ll call me Athena; I’ll call you Monet
When the world is falling down, crumbling like clay
We’re hiding in caverns, forgetting our names
We dissolve in our mythology like blood in the rain
You’ll call me the lion; I’ll call you the lamb
I am lost in all you are; you’re alive for what I am
It’s a new year in an old house
With more technology you’ll never understand
Break out your typewriter with your “thees” and “thous”
Smearing old words with your old hands
You’ll call me Cassandra; I’ll call you King James
And all we write is true and all of it insane
But the changing of the seasons will forever stay the same, you say
The infantry’s retreating
Like they knew how this would end
Did you hear the Germans lost the war?
I bet they could use a friend
Right now supper’s getting cold
Right now God is growing old
Right now dialect is evolving
Outside this house
Or so I’m told
It’s a real fear for you and me
Burning clothing just to keep the winter warm
My fingers trace the gumline of a skeleton key
Not caring whether it could open up the door
And the faces at the window are children in the womb
Black-eyed and still but growing every day
You’ll die on the outisde or die in this room, either way
Our infancy’s receding
We’re a heartbeat from the end
Did you hear the madmen lost the war?
I bet they could use a friend
Right now supper’s getting cold
Right now God is growing old
Right now dialect is evolving
Outside this house
Or so I’m told
We’re stockpiling warheads, we’re stuck in the past
Death is art, truth is beauty, and the first shall be last
You’ll call me Athena; I’ll call you Monet
When the world is falling down, crumbling like clay
We’re hiding in caverns, forgetting our names
We dissolve in our mythology like blood in the rain
You’ll call me the lion; I’ll call you the lamb
I am lost in all you are; you’re alive for what I am

Eyes On Backwards
by Dead When I Found Hersupported by 143 fans who also own “New Year (Dub)”
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 “New Year (Dub)”
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.

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORSsupported by 129 fans who also own “New Year (Dub)”
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.
