new album out today in the UK if you are in the USA you have to wait until the 16th as there was a problem in the pressing plant.

Four formats available:

UK CD with bonus track
UK vinyl with 2 bonus tracks
US CD no bonus at all
US vinyl with 1 bonus tracks

Its certainly different to anything else they have done buts its a grower

I listened to The Terror last night. It will take some getting used to. I am having a hard time hearing the lyrics, which generally seem to be whispered, sort of.

EDIT: I noticed drafsack is drafsack on the Slow Nerve Action forum. :D

After one listen, I can tell that I will like it, I just haven't got to that point yet. I'll have to keep at it for a few days.

Look… The Sun is Rising

There's a little spaceship
Hiding in the clouds
You want it to love you
Its peaceful voice is loud

You can hear the voice
Telling you to love
It's the voice of MK-Ultra
And you're doing what it wants

Love is always something
Something you should fear
When you really listen
Fear is all you hear

I know that you will love me
Till I come down
Look, the sun is rising
What will love us now

Be Free, A Way

Did God make pain
So we can know
The high that nothing is

The sun shines down
But we’re still cold
It’s light is not a light that shines

The way, a way
But how can we
Be free
When all our days are empty
Is love a god
That we control
To try to trust
The pain

The sun shines down
But we can't see
Its light lights everything
The same

Be free, a way
But how can we
Find arms to hold
the days

Be free, a way
But how can we
Find arms to hold
The days
A way
A way
A way
A way
A way

Try to Explain

Is it wise
Loving someone
They tell lies
Make you think somethin’
I’m not wise
I believe what you tell me
I believe you
I believe you
I believe

A love that explodes
Convulsing your body
Your head ecstatically wanting
Trapped there
Walking away on the bridge
To nowhere
To nowhere
To no one

Try to explain why you’ve changed
I don’t think I understand
Try to explain why you’re leaving
I don’t think I understand

You Lust

You’ve got a lot of nerve
A lot of nerve to fuck with me
Better kill your emperor
‘Cause you know you’re just like me
You lust
You lust
You lust
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed

When you pull the switch on them
I don’t really want to know
When you shoot the stars away
The brightest light is the first to go
You lust
You lust
You lust
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed

Ugly and magnificent
Your selfish eye can’t see itself

The Terror

However love can help you
We are all standing alone
The terror’s in our heads
We don’t control the controls

I turn to face the Sun
We are still standing alone
At last we’ll sing of the terror
It helps us hold the controls

We’ll sing in the sunshine
We’ll laugh everyday
We’ll sing ‘cause love will save us
The sunshine every day

Your voice says yes but I can’t go on
Your voice says yes but I can go
More
What gives judgement the final word
Can’t be heard

You Are Alone

All the time you know about is bad
All the time you told me I was bad
That I have no goodness left in me
Then I’ll have to live beyond reality’s dream
Oh, girl
Oh, girl
Oh, girl
No

Just the sound of your ecstasy I hear
It's enough to wake me from my fear
It's enough to sacrifice me now
It's the only sound of love I hear
Oh, God
Oh, God
Oh, God
No

I'm not alone
You are alone
I'm not alone
You are alone

You're not alone
You are alone
You're not alone
You are alone
I’m not alone
You are alone
You're not alone
You are alone

Butterfly, How Long It Takes to Die

If you’ve ever really seen the sunrise
You’d see how many times it tries
If you’ve ever really seen the sunset
You’d see how long it takes to die

You can see the butterfly has landed
Landing in your face, it licks your eye
You can feel its tongue making a teardrop
You will see how long it takes to cry

You can see the universe beginning
Making a new Sun in a new sky
You can see the universe is ending
Making a new dark in a new night

Turning Violent

Turning violent
Tell me about it
Turn, turn around
You want violence
Don’t turn violent
Oh, oh
Turn on and on
Turn on and on
Turn on
Turn on

Turning violent
Tell me about it
Turn, turn around
You want violence
Don’t turn violent
No
Turn on and on – beautiful brother
Turn on and on – beautiful sister
Turn on – don’t turn violent
Turn on

Turning violent
Tell me about it
Turn, turn around
You want violence
Don’t turn violent
Turn
Turn on and off – beautiful brother
Turn on and off – beautiful sister
Turn on – don’t turn violent
Turn off
Turn on – don’t turn violent
Turn off

Always There… In Our Hearts

Always there in our hearts
Fear of violence and of death
Always there in our hearts
There is love and there is pain
Always there in our hearts
There is evil that wants out
Always there in our hearts
There are sorrows and sadness
Always there in our hearts
Never understanding
Always there in our hearts
Something pure that we can’t control
Can’t control
Can’t control
Can’t control

Always there in our hearts
Destroying everything we know
Always there in our hearts
Not forgiving those who are weak
Always there in our hearts
Shame that we are all powerless
Always there in our hearts
A joy of life that overwhelms
Overwhelms

The new Flips shows are certainly a change of direction - they are a lot more reflective with no balloons and no dancers on the side of the stage - so its like the party is over and now they are nursing a hangover - still good though
