lyrics
This vessel, this vessel is decrepit
Everything's sinking, yet the water is so tepid
The waves, the tides, the surface currents
The limits of tyrants are prescribed by endurance
Hatching plans, hatching like a horrid hen
All gone awry, these best laid plans of mice and men
The fragile balance of plants and minerals
We'll be the mascots at our own funeral
So when you've made the choice not to be on your own
A different way of life, a black hole
Try not to lose control
It seems like one mistake can turn a lifetime's work to catastrophe
It only takes one time, found crawling on your knees
Trying to find the last of your dignity
You've got to use restraint
You've got to give and take, you've got to work things out and negotiate
Like two crabs, two crabs in a bucket
Our spoons are long, but now they're also rusted
Trying to keep it metaphysical
A "something something" that's apolitical
We've died inside, you're still dyed-in-the-wool
We look distended, you just look like your belly's full
A boring disease, not even tropical
Gimme a sing-song that's not so topical
(At loggerheads)
Rabble-rousing, rising from the rabid rush
Not taking commands, but pissing on the burning bush
These vacant halls, at least they echo (echo)
These crumbling walls become our own jericho
These clumsy smears, smears all on the windowpane
The fingerprints, dislocated, masked by rain
The fragile balance of plants and minerals
We'll be the mascots at our own funeral
(At loggerheads)

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
