lyrics
Crash mat
Allow that
Time is linear the world’s still flat
Life’s life
That’s that
Gonna stand on my feet
Not die on my back
No safety net
No strings attached
Man, it’s real as it gets
So please stand back
Lateral thinker, casual drinker
One-dimension I meet my end
You think you’re in
but they pull you back out
In at the deep end
No messing about
No stress push out the chest
And we hope for the best
Lest we forget
Yeah just allow it brev
Yeah just allow
This floor’s invisible I’m sure that I’ve been here before; sipping on port, sitting in shorts
Run home like a road runner
I’ve never been caught
Focused on my own survival
Right now well you know that it’s vital
Be mindful, not self-entitled
Once in a night, more than eye-full
So, so sorry
A thousand apologies
Blessings to be on your house
Come quietly
Calm down
Give it a try and you might find out
Night crawls my life’s not insured
But I’m dying
Climbing the walls
But allow it allow
Yeah allow it allow
(Full metal allow)
Arms down to the side
Just guns
No hands no knives this time
Raw tunnel vision
Know I’ll survive
I’ve been tired all of my life
Group chat
Laudat
Chinese New Year fear for the bat
White lion
Death trap
9 lives one down 8 more cracks
My mind’s occupied with the sound of the hats
My eyes so tired man I’m bound to collapse
Lateral drinker, casual thinker
See that I’m close the to the brink my “friend”
You think you’re in
but they pull you back out
In at the deep end
Come quietly
Come down
When I say come around come around
This town (my mind)
Mine now
Give it a try but you might find out
I’d take my own life but it’s insured
Man I’m dying I’m climbing the wall
Not gone. Still me
Full metal and harsh yeah
Allow allow allow
Yeah Allow it allow
Full metal allow
Is there any room left for me here?
Can I get a seat on the floor of the train to nowhere?
Well it’s the same every day
I’m just going through the motions
I’m talking, yeah I’m bleeding my soul
And you’re sucking it up through a straw
Sucking it up through a straw (Long ting)
Allow that
Time is linear the world’s still flat
Life’s life
That’s that
Gonna stand on my feet
Not die on my back
No safety net
No strings attached
Man, it’s real as it gets
So please stand back
Lateral thinker, casual drinker
One-dimension I meet my end
You think you’re in
but they pull you back out
In at the deep end
No messing about
No stress push out the chest
And we hope for the best

What a damn solid record! It's the perfect example of why I'm certain that Ska Punk is going to play on the highlight reel when I hit up the afterlife.

This album is absolute quality! It's my most loved album for some time. I got the white and pink splatter vinyl and the weight of the vinyl and quality of recording is superb. Every song is great too! x
