Everything Everything - No Reptiles

[@libbyjade4202]

For everyone wondering what the lyrics are in Jonathan's amazing falsetto rap bit in the beginning, here they are: 'Slip from the trees to the dirt to the menace to the wild to the car, under snow, cut to ribbons like a coral to your shin, like a manacle to swing Fresh from the breast now a river running fat, to the manor born a rat, to the manor born a flea, to a flood to a drain, now a rubber now a chain' (I got the album early 😊)

[@libbyjade4202]

Oh and here's the next bit: 'Plump from the sugar-water pump, with the city at your back, to the cannon with a match, from a milk into a mass grave, never mind that I can take that Bones in a bowl like a toad-in-the-hole, take the shape of the mould, like a mummy on a pole, and a merry little head bob around when you're dead' Perhaps the greatest lyrics ever?

[@lisathomas9263]

Libby Jade Thank youuuuu! i've been searching for these lyrics everywhere - been dying to know what he's singing here :D x

[@matthewdunn1706]

Libby Jade Did you buy it off their website too for pre-order? I'm still waiting for mine!

[@libbyjade4202]

Matthew Dunn Kind of, I bought it along with tickets to a concert they played in Kingston after a signing they did there on Thursday. It arrived on Saturday. Apparently everyone's arrive at different times so you should get yours

[@matthewdunn1706]

I would love to see them in concert but they're not coming to the USA

[@sarahtheakston4258]

the start sounds like wizard talk, absolutely fucking beautiful

[@mastersoftoday]

the straight bass throbbing when he starts singing that line is so beautiful what a song, their 3rd album and they're only getting better

[@minkusresourio8482]

This is very lovely. They never disappoint.

[@LilRedRasta]

really dig it. I was on the fence whe it started, but it won me over.

[@darrendickens64]

Holy fuck! The best song of the year???

[@maddyhughes6700]

This is possibly the best song I've ever heard I love you guys, your lyrics are incredible!!

[@SJ-dm3eb]

FAVOURITE BAND AT THE MOMENT

[@nicadoooodle]

love seeing most heard this on radio 1 the other night too haha.

[@lauriespafford]

Better than the singles - This is great - and starts as something pretty a bit simple and transforms without you even realising into an epic finish

[@TommyRobertsMusicChannel]

Solid proof that music still lives as strong as ever, pffft to all those who say "musics dead nowadays"

[@jeremymuir4332]

Not listened to these guys before this just came on the radio. The first time in a long time I've wanted to hear what someone is gonna sing next. Haha these lyrics are imaginative

[@jacobmiles4820]

and me

[@mutillidie]

They've already had 2 previous albums out, they're worth checking out!

[@mollgrn]

in love with this song!! I can just imagine phil taggart (from radio 1) running around singing "a ok to feel like a fat child in a push chair old enough to run" after hearing him talk about it last night

[@lillyan1992]

Brilliant, took my too long to find this after the radio lastnight

[@Technodook93]

This song was amazing at Glastonbury 2015, definitely a band to watch out for in future

[@CascadesMusic]

This song made me feel like everything was okay in the world. Can't wait to hear this in the context of the album.

[@voblats]

Positivus Got me here. Thanks for an awesome show!!!

[@AaronOwenSmith]

I think this is going to be one of the great great albums. (ala ok computer)

[@AaronOwenSmith]

Awesomestuffweekly you havent heard it yet!

[@AaronOwenSmith]

Awesomestuffweekly also im not saying that the album will be as good or as better then ok computer, im sayiong that this is shaping up to be one of the great great albums, like ok computer was. or achtung baby,. I dont think this is just another album, I think EE have hit gold with this. . Still lets wait and see.

[@mastersoftoday]

Awesomestuffweekly in my opinion right now Everything Everything are quite capable of surpassing Radiohead

[@AaronOwenSmith]

mastersoftoday oh no.. that is a step to far, ;)

[@TehWinnerz]

I guess you could think that (if you had heard about 10 albums in your whole life)

[@MegaPandaface]

Thank you radio one for this :) heard it first tonight. Not my kind of music usually but the lyrics definitely pulled me in. Got that one line constantly in my head...you know which one haha. Thanks for post

[@tombranfoot3534]

i want to lose myself in this breathtaking crescendo forever

[@loopingstaruk]

Epic song . EE just seem to get better & better . Looking forward to the new album

[@abbeyoneill7971]

this is fucking hilarious - the keyboard parts I can just see Ross from friends experimenting with sounds lmao seeing em in November

[@danielavossa3651]

This is great.

[@Jcop42]

Way better than the album version.

[@4Jam5]

magical song

[@major2292]

they really should have made this song a couple minutes longer and dropped a fat drum groove behind it at the end. it seems to build and build, and then its just over. but still a great song

[@dogzwalker7577]

love it

[@DaleHagger]

Maybe Higgs best Lyrical hook. I'm going to let this album soak in with a good few listens before I judge it

[@jacobmiles4820]

my lyfe👌🏿

[@Millymollymandy121]

💜💜💜

[@IP3T3Rx]

[@robcrellen9171]

Hooooooooooome( cries a little inside)

[@Tonib1978111]

Reminds me of Pink Floyd lyrics and melody, I love this track

[@honorcave-toye2030]

Great song but please tell me that I'm not the only one that doesn't understand what he's saying in the beginning.....

[@AaronOwenSmith]

Honor Cave-Toye terrorists (ISIS), and we just sit here like a fat child in a push chair watching, but we are older enough to fire guns.

[@Terrible4130]

Song of the year? I think so

[@JayPeaFenn]

Anyone know where I can listen to Pressure?

[@harveygage]

Jonathan Fenn You need to buy the Distant Past 7" Vinyl

[@miracelboy1]

Thomas Hayward

[@miracelboy1]

Jamie Gray

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

Is this still English?

[@danhumphreys90]

Should I be on heroin right now?

[@gungygussit]

I think this has to be the worst song I've ever heard. The start seems okay, but when it gets to the "it's okay to feel like a fat child in a push chair, old enough to fire a gun" - I switch off, you have a brain for a reason - string words together that don't just rhyme. I couldn't actually tell if this song was a joke when I heard it on the radio, everyone who listens to it asks me if it's a joke. IS IT A JOKE? TELL ME, IS IT A JOKE.

[@sverresigurson]

+Lawrence Bishop Don't know if i understand what you mean. I'll admit the lyrics are hard to understand, but what songs has meaningful lyrics these days? The lyrics do rhyme, though. You forgot "old enough to run" before "old enough to fire a gun". Maybe the feeling of being a fat child in a push chair, old enough to run - old enough to fire a gun, is something one can relate to (?)

[@sverresigurson]

+Lawrence Bishop I'm at a loss, but i love the song

[@kristiantaylor-deville8015]

Basically (what I think) is that the line is about you feeling inevitable in trying to stop the bad things in your life, and how it's okay to feel that way, so it sorta relates to everyone in a way

[@ArminJohansson]

It's about being able to run, and not doing so in spite of the fact that you really should. And how that can be okay. We don't have to be productive all of the time, sometimes It's fine just to be lazy.
