LYRICS:
Does you really don’t know where the avenuers go
Are you lying through your teeth or are they paying through your nose
A set of manners and a smile is all they want you for
But we can talk about it later
You can read it in the paper
I hated you away from the very start
I seen you sticking to your smile - it’s gone and broken my heart
Now the wind is making work of every step on the bridge
You say “I used to say we found each other - now I don’t know
Where he is”
You get that feel - make your spirit shine
I let her prize apart my ribcage like a crackhead at the blinds
- It hurt
But come the downing of a scrapyard sun
There is no light falls on our failure
It ain’t covered in the paper
Well I really don’t care what you think of me
But something gears me to the grovel every opportunity
I’ve got that jealous stripe
- I probably am that type
I’ll see you twenty Mary’s later
When your tongue is talking straighter
Heard he took ‘em all down to the mercenary bar
I heard she broke up with her fella now he’s drinkin’ in his car
- nah
I’m not inclined towards the scandalous word
But on the subject of myself I do believe what I’ve heard
There is a track beneath the wheel and it’s there till we die
She says “I don’t agree with nothing” I say “Neither do I”
- Go to sleep
There’s not a thing can’t be fixed with a dream
And we can talk about it later
You can read it in the paper
I bet ya
I bet ya
You had your smile
You had your smile
For the open mile
I bet ya I bet ya
You had your smile, your face defile
For the open mile
I bet ya I bet ya
I bet you now
I bet ya I bet ya
I bet you now
I bet ya I bet ya
I bet ya
I bet you now

This band, I swear to God - lot of their songs take a few listens to get into but the lyrics are just irreverently beautiful without exception. Never failing to make me shudder.

[@GoranZec]

This is true, his monotone is an acqiured taste, but once you acquire it you have it.

[@jamkaycontent]

Love them too sometimes think they drag there songs out abit mind you but hey

[@phoenixgirl70]

@@GoranZecSome songs are like Joy Division. The best song to me are the ones you need to listen to about 3 times because there’s so much to take in and when it comes together it’s beautiful. Radiohead has been my all time favourite band in the world but it still takes three listens for them and then they’re on permanent rotation.

[@Doom_VVitch]

I love the authenticity of their lyrics. You can tell he's struggled, is self-aware and doesn't want other's to suffer him like he suffers himself. Genius.

[@grod9542]

Saw these dudes live opening for Arctic Monkeys. Never heard of them prior and holy crap they blew me away. I was just in a trance. Been listening to them non stop since. I will definitely see them again 🙌

[@naner9955]

Same! These guys are great live🔥

[@Jalerbo]

Exactly the same for me

[@AndreaMartinez-yx6zv]

Same thing happened for me too. As I was waiting to get into the concert I was able to hear them practicing " I Love You" and I fell in love

[@louisbhtanner7503]

This band is so great at evolving their sound. This one sounds like something from Ultra-era Depeche mode. It’s awesome

[@Missjunebugfreak]

Love the brooding, hypnotic sound of this track. Kinda wish it was a bit longer, but that's a sign of a song leaving you wanting more in a good way. 'Skinty Fia' is shaping up to be one of the best albums of the year.

[@1anhunter1]

Fascinating elaborate video. Hypnotic sound. I will look for further material from this band. Thumbs up from me.

Where are you gonna see them live?

[@dennisschaeffer2535]

I hear some of that pulsing brushed soundscape that Peter Gabriel has used to such great effect - even some David Rhodes guitar scratches in there. And of course it’s none of that, either. Totally singular. Brilliant.

[@MatthewSimmonsTurkey]

I hear Peter Hook in that baseline and Bernard Sumner in those guitar stabs, reminds me of Transmission. This is Joy Division with an amazing dance beat, and I mean that as a huge complement.

Les ví en Madrid anoche y tengo que decir que el concierto fue cortisimo; tocaron una hora y cuarto solamente! No me gusto esa actitud y ,en ese sentido, me defraudaron.

I swear to god this band is in a trajectory to become my all time favourite band. Not just my favourite current band

What a tune, absolutely amazing. Edgy, grungy and rocky. Grian's voice is both addictive and hypnotic.

[@WolfataDoor]

A week later and I’m still only listening to this album. What a freaking band. Glad to have seen them in Chicago last Friday!

It’s great to see them try different styles and absolutely succeed every time. I love that each album out of the three has/will have a different sound to each other.

How would he let you down? By giving you a song you couldn't cover? Write one and send it to him. See what he thinks. 👊🏽

@@adrianlizardo1064 really, it might disappoint me by making songs not up to par with the ones we've heard until now. It's my concern cause in this period the music that I really like is difficult for me to find. Fortunately, it never happened with them! But I don't take this things for granted 😁

[@MrGordonGartrelle]

Superb drumming

[@gurrier3877]

When I look back on these so called wonder years of mine when I'm all shrivelled up and decrepit, these absolute gems that you lads make will serve as the backing track of my memories. Roll on skinty fia soooooooon ❤️
