Better son, better son
I know I should have been a better son
Makes me feel like the one, the one
Surrey, surrey
Sat in the dark in his latter days
Makes me feel pretty strong, strong
Ha ha, hey
Balling upon the laudanum
Ha ha, hey
Balling upon the laudanum
Ha ha, hey
Balling upon the laudanum
Ha ha, hey
Balling upon the laudanum
Murder, murder
You said you're too soft for murder
Makes you feel pretty strong, strong
Can't lay, can't lay
Mother of two kids from Adelaide
Makes you feel pretty strong, strong
Ha ha, hey
Balling upon the laudanum
Ha ha, hey
Balling upon the laudanum
Ha ha, hey
Balling upon the laudanum
Ha ha, hey
Balling upon the laudanum
Medicine, medicine
I know that I need some medicine
But it won't make me feel strong, strong
Holiday, holiday
I know you want to go on holiday
But it won't make you feel strong, strong

[@DanHunterSportsWriter]

Idles aren't shy about sharing their influences. I'm getting My Bloody Valentine at the start of this then a lot of 80s U2. Fucking brilliant!

[@boblangford81]

Oh The Joy of discovering great music 9 years late.

[@northern2912]

best version of swan lake ever

[@z88pky]

Hahahaha! ♥️

[@nijq]

as a German I can say this video is 100% accurate but I have no idea what the lyrics mean

[@andreasprokscha6357]

Dachte ich mir auch, kein Plan was das mit Deutschland zu tun hat, wahrscheinlich nur ein Arbeitstitel von einer Reise durch Deutschland :D

[@LazarSutilovic]

Ahhh, I got into IDLES with Brutalism and because of that hardcore sound a couple of months ago and the albums just kept getting better, but I really hope they get back to this sound or at least incorporate some of the elements in the future. I'm completely addicted to this song.

[@jelefaz]

Senseless as expected. Greetings from germany

[@1758pk]

How in the hell did I only now hear this tune!!!

[@JPEGTOMUSIC]

[@johnnykarausu8340]

A band with a big future ....im so please when I'm lisening !

[@Duck-jc9ox]

That swan is making my body pillow jealous. Fantastic song, too.

[@robsingfield9977]

Am I right in thinking that's Danny Nedelko in the swan costume?

[@ezkibela]

Is Bowen my friend

[@danielthompson4463]

ezkibela isn’t Bowen in the back reading?

[@ezkibela]

@@danielthompson4463 you are right man!! I though it was Joe talbot, but there is a moment in the vid where the man reading shows his face closer and yes its Bowen , so you are right , now i aswell ask who is the swam guy then???

[@fuzzbuzztk]

although the dancing is similar the bird man is NOT Danny Nedelko

[@pagaza3052]

i would say it's lee

[@swapnote3ds]

Wow even their earlier stuff is good🙌🏾

[@AdrianCalderon-xr2kb]

Esa guitarra me recuerda a los amados THE WIPERS.

[@petitnicollas]

Wow I really need to check their older material.

[@eliblue8429]

[@dombackay4806]

I just found Meat EP and Welcome EP today and I was blown away...hope they will return to this kind of sound some time in the future

It sounds like Joy Division:) I love it:) Best regards, Barbara

[@jeffmead2935]

THAT WAS REALLYFKKN GOOD. ...thank you

[@peterleeson1122]

Now I know why people refer to them as a post punk band,

[@ezkibela]

Is not just people, Joe Talbot have said it lost of times , that they are a Post Punk band

[@acidfilth2007]

@@ezkibela it's the best of the semi vague terms we use. .. but they are a magic group they are like a distilled version of punk and some subgenres and they fucking nail it without imitation. I didn't think I would ever feel this kind of energy from a modern band.

[@acidfilth2007]

I really feel like they have successfully reinvented the wheel

[@13Tyres]

Totes amaze-balls

[@darrengavin6197]

[@chrisjenkins7049]

Why has the Welcome EP been removed from Spotify?

[@Dimension50]

Dont know, kinda annoying though. Did the same with "jobseeker" by Sleaford mods, and its like as soon as a band get mass media attention, they remove tracks for whatever reasons.

[@RobRamirez456]

It’s back

[@LuisMedinaInformador]

Pro Joy Division
