lyrics
Life is rigged, we’re tested, and measured
fail each time then set some new goals
A better life is out there, so grab it
all it takes is 12 more payments
Check your cash, regret it, regret it
designed to fail, live for the weekend
All your plans have shifted, adjusted
but that’s just how the knotweed takes hold
Bots will replace us, destroying our jobs
what’s left for us but to follow our hearts
Thousands of people living the dream
pursuing pursuits that will fulfill their needs
Thousands of people developing skills
a race to the top where nobody wins
The noise of a thousand being the best
is not the noise that I like best
Leave no open hole
Leave no root of the knotweed so it can't grow
Fleeceflower, borrowed soul
Leave no room for the knotweed so it can't grow
My home, it's where I go
Not to lay down my head but to just lay low
Fleeceflower, borrowed soul
Leave no root of the knotweed so it can't grow
Second guessing my second guess
I'm a sceptical sceptic I must confess
Getting all of my ducks now in a row
Not to cross any path, just to watch them blow
Brace yourself before it takes hold
society’s problems are about to unfold
Advancements mean an easier life
if you’re lucky not to be left by the side
All our lives a struggle, a muddle
pretend we’re fine but not as you know it
All your plans have shifted, adjusted
but that’s just how the knotweed takes hold
We’re all here now and you’re not coming
Safe in our house and we’re not budging
An idiot’s guide to making new friends
That’s just how the knotweed takes hold
A group that I know only too well, I’ve been with them for nearly 30 years; from their Glaswegian basement origins to their current status as Arena band. My enthusiasm for their later output may have tempered somewhat as the mighty ‘Gwai evolved their sound to avoid pigeonholing, but there is nothing better than when they lay waste to a venue via the sheer euphoria of ‘Helicon 1’. They’re still devastating live and, after all those years, THE authority in Instrumental Rock music. Logen Ninefingers
