lyrics

Tiananmen

I looked at the face of a lost boy in a photograph
It was to be given to me by the hands of a dissident man
Drank spirits from a quart in an anonymous apartment
Somewhere on a fourth floor above Tiananmen
He was making a film about government corruption
Smoked cheap cigarettes until his teeth turned yellow
He said don’t shiver in the cold air
The shroud that hangs above the square
The temperature is always zero there

There’s a laser beam in the sky tonight
Does a figure of 8 from the left to the right
Looks like it’s searching for you

Why do you always wear black Sunny?
In my country it is the colour of death

I can almost feel the truncheons on your pale skin
You say you left it too late to get married
You would have made a good wife you could have had a quiet life
In a village somewhere a long way from Tiananmen
That boy in the photograph I don’t think he ever existed
I don’t think you want to remember do you, Sunny?
Because you know that there’s something worse
Do you belong to the Christian church?
If you think it would help then I will pray for you

Hey Sunny
Why do you always wear black?
In my country it is the colour of death

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 Callum Gray

Kickin Ass is one of the coolest fckn songs I ever heard. I wish there was an extended version. The remixes are not nearly as cool as the original. PIG nailed that old school 80s industrial throwback vibe. Makes me think of like Pailhead or Ministry or Paula Abdul xD Totally Awesome Album full of sick songs. Seed of Evil.. Oh mann so good miche11edanie11e
