We are a joke And this is our play Presented to you My bed is my stage We pick out the soundtrack We fix you a drink We fetch you a high backed chair We dress up in pink We just don't know when enough is enough We are all talk And we've got something to say Lie after lie Page after page And we keep on going We've been here all along Your house is on fire Your children are gone We just don't know when enough is enough We line up pairs of shoes So we can play shop The windows are open We're in the stocks We paint on our whiskers I wind back my watch I kick off my shoes, yeah I switch the light off We wanna feel real, We wanna free-wheel We just don't know when enough is enough We wanna go down We wanna go drown We just wanna get you off Enough is enough

I just saw you walking I fell for you in record time You were only talking But I was picking up the sign I saw the line I know that you've been hurting Is it fair to take it out on me? I'm the one who has been helping But things have turned out differently We'll make it you'll see I'm not sure you realise I'm not playing round this time This is really it for me It's either you or nobody Nobody Another Friday evening And soon the weekend will be gone We did a lot of sleeping But not a whole lot else was done Now Monday's begun I'm not sure you realise I'm not playing round this time This is really it for me It's either you or nobody Tell me what is on your mind I couldn't stand it if you lied I wanna make the most of this I'm just so lucky to have found your kiss I found your kiss

We're serious, you won't make us laugh You're jealous, but that phase will pass Don't smoke donÂ't drink don't steal don't want to ... At least not today We're serious, well trying to be You're friends with us? That's most unlikely Don't smile donÂ't laugh don't cry don't want to ... At least not today Spend time with us, we'll make it quick You'll find out just what makes us tick Don't think that we won't make an impact When we get raw Come see us and walk in our shoes We're the future of yesterday's news Someone to try us, occupy us Is what we're looking for. We took a wrong turn a few pages back Now there's us and there's you, an unfortunate fact So just keep on walking, don't show us the light WeÂ're happy in here not getting it quite right We took a wrong turn a few pages back Now there's us and there's you and still no friendship pact So just keep on walking don't show us the light We're happy in here not getting it quite right

The Engineer 03:30
I sing the body electric You cut the meat from the bone I peeled back layers of static And now I just can't be alone I am the body electric I am the meat and the bone I am this fear fantastic You will never be alone You bring me scraps from the table I was once an engineer You regard me with a steady gaze I don't know why I come here You take the scraps so grateful I am now the engineer Avert your eyes while I sleep so fitful Feel my hand, feel your fear I wring my hands with the feeling You are sleeping like a dog I keep watch while you are resting Eyes, eye-fringes, iris of the eye, eye-brows And the waking or sleeping of the lids Mouth, tongue, lips, teeth, roof of the mouth jaws Jaw-hinges Eye-fringes Jaw-hinges I sing the body electric You cut the meat from the bone I peeled back layers of static And now I just can't be alone I am the body electric I am the meat and the bone I am this fear fantastic You will never be alone Eyes, eye-fringes, iris of the eye, eye-brows And the waking or sleeping of the lids, Mouth, tongue, lips, teeth, roof of the mouth jaws

NEW ADVENTURES IN POP 010

Elefant Records is thrilled to introduce, through our New Adventures in Pop Collection, NATURE SET, the new project from Reenie Hollis, bassist of THE LONG BLONDES. They are a punk-pop quartet risen from the ashes of NAVVY (Daf, Marie and Claire, the rest of NATURE SET, come from there), with the intention of spreading the festive spirit of the B-52’s but with a more anarchic perspective and a clear philosophy: “to songwrite by committee and pass the mic”.

Reenie (Bass and vocals), Daf (Guitar y vocals), Marie (Drums and vocals) and Claire (Synthesizers and vocals), recorded this EP in Sheffield in Alan Smyth’s 2fly studios (PULP, ARCTIC MONKEYS, RICHARD HAWLEY...).

The EP is full of rough, frenetic guitars, as you can hear on the title track “Enough Is Enough”, and it is overflowing with the same electricity and that youthful urgency the the early KAISER CHIEFS had and THE RAMONES had throughout their career as a group. “You or Nobody” enjoys a poppier air, but with an underlying post-punk rhythm and marvellous choruses. “At Least Not Today” is more excessively energetic, with a hyper-addictive melody, a synthesizer line that pushes you onto the dance floor, and a pop-punk attitude that reminds us of ECHOBELLY, BLONDIE, and those Californians, ROCKET. Finally, “The Engineer” throws itself headfirst into post-punk, the darkest song on the album, but with the same level of addiction.

When attitude is the most important, when the band as a whole is looking in one direction and pushing ahead with all its might, when life overflows from every bone in your body and you need to scream with the world… It’s just a matter of nature.
