about

‘Dead Dreams’ is a later composition. Actually started in winter 2012/13 it was halted mid-flow as changes in our lives took sudden turns. We lost and gained people in our lives. Music stopped for a bit. Bloody and earthy, Dead Dreams simultaneously rocks the cradle then dances gleefully on some graves. Nice!

lyrics

DEAD DREAMS

Zeal and zest! Zeal and zest!
Whirling wind blow down my trees
Surf the crest! Surf the crest!
Hurricane, throw down my seas
Tears and toil Tears and toil
Harvest of these wasted lives
Reign on soil Reign on soil
Burned and broken, baked and boiled

Puppet killer toys
Humanoid destroys
Brand-machine Dead Dreams!
Grand machine Dead Dreams!
Pump it out into the void
Hyper-acting paranoid
Brand-machine Dead Dreams!
Bland machine Dead Dreams!

Guns and bombs Guns and bombs
Dropping down from crazy heights
On signs of life Signs of life
From primordial soup
Genome decode Gnome decode
Atomic numbers cost the Earth
Money magnate Money made!
Mud-root rockers: hug the turf

Puppet killer toys
Humanoid destroys
Brand-machine Dead Dreams!
Grand machine Dead Dreams!
Pump it out into the void
Hyper-acting paranoid
Brand-machine Dead Dreams!
Bland machine Dead Dreams!

Sons and Daughters of Catastrophe
Sons and Daughters of Catastrophe
Mission-creep across soft land
Across soft land
The Lame Brigade with broken product-range
Broken product-range
From minds deranged
From minds deranged

Frankensteins (Frankensteins!)
Stitch together, cut-and-paste
Submit outlines online!
For public decency and taste

Puppet killer toys
Humanoid destroys
Brand-machine Dead Dreams!
Grand machine Dead Dreams!
Pump it out into the void
Hyper-acting paranoid
Brand-machine Dead Dreams!
Bland machine Dead Dreams!

Gotta be this big to ride the jet-stream
ride the jet-stream
And look out for culture cops
look out for culture cops
Radioactive freehold charlatans
freehold charlatans
Bully-herd toward sheer drops
toward sheer drops

Gotta be a pig to hide the shit-stream
hide the shit-stream
Never fade the evergreen
fade the evergreen
Splice the mainbrace we’re on peace patrol
we’re on peace patrol
Brand new vision - brand new dream.
Brand new dream.

Dead Dreams!
