Flying Ant Day 04:55
lyrics
buy track
Waiting for a peaceful moment A time to rise when the heat it haze the sky Shaking as the need come over Queens and fellow ants know it’s time to fly Facing to a hopeful future Bless this weather All together Fly!!! They can see ya They are watching from on high Hunger and desire Hunger and desire Hunger and desire Winged ones - this is our mission Mate and mingle and reproduce the tribe Head into the air my children Heat and humming Fate is coming Rise! They are swooping Beaks a-gaping as they dive Hunters of the sky Hunters of the sky Hunters of the sky Hunters of the sky Sailing cerulean air In the summer We feast on fluttering fare They seem to be everywhere For the taking We crunch delicacies rare Our day of avian joy Every summer Every summer Every summer Every summer Every summer Facing to our hopeful future Bless this weather All together Fly!!!

Diamonds In The Rust 04:44
lyrics

We write ‘bout lives that we never had We’re all so tired, but we’re never sad And we never lose hope, we never lose hope We light flat fires with our carry bags We know no dive's gonna hang our flags But we never lose hope, we never lose hope Listen up and I'll explain Being ridden over roughshod It's a tough job pull it out the hat again Listen up and I'll explain Going up into the iPod Painting pictures videos inside the brain To show no one We lick less stamps than we ever have We tweak and twist ‘til it isn’t bad Then we let it upload, we let it upload At go-go time we collect our claps We’re so-so shy of the happenstance But we’re living in hope, we’re living in hope I'm a cat with an appetite and lust Gotta hope there’s a diamond in the rust When it's in you it deafens, leaves you dumb and you can't think clearly We paint our face with attitude And greet each play with gratitude And we never lose hope, we never lose hope At go go time we collect our claps We’re so so shy of the happenstance But we’re living in hope, we’re living in hope Listen up and I'll explain ‘bout the bloopin’ and the bleep-blop ‘bout the streams of words we pull out of our brain To enchant no-one Two three four

Whimsical sighs - walking through the meadow Whimsical sighs - walking hand in hand Whimsical sighs - talking with my baby Whimsical sighs - Never Never Land She gave me her glass eye - well I never! Held a hand out in the dark We searched in vain for her lost mind - took forever! Left singing the song, singing the sad song of lovers Of lovers! Whimsical sighs - walking through the meadow Whimsical sighs - walking hand in hand Whimsical sighs - talking with my baby Whimsical sighs - Never Never Land Never Never Land

Heavy Metal 04:46
lyrics
buy track
Heavy Metal - with a heart too large to hold Many a fine line written in its favour Riven with riffs and a pulse that is pounded Smitten with this and the home to be found in Heavy Metal Heavy Metal! Heaven or Hell you’re a star on the highway Heaven forgive that you’re hidden in hairspray Heavy Metal - like the surface of The Sun Denim and leather signify the faithful Pleasantly drowned in a wave of distortion Bending the notes with a facial contortion Heavy Metal! Facing the crowd with the poise of a hero Loving it loud with the joy of a solo Solo! Heavy Metal - with a dragon and a skull Scary and violent images are favoured Feeling the hit of a devilish lyric Pumping a fist at a singer in lipstick Heavy Metal! Heavy Metal - though aggression is the mode Everyone is welcome at the table No-one regrets that they made the decision Never forget it’s a kind of religion Heavy Metal!

Born To Be A Drone 03:49
lyrics
buy track
Honey, Please be kind Show me pity in the hive When you waggle Show the way to nectar Dance to verify the comb Hexagons that we call home Grubs and larvae, sealed in, gestating Born to be a drone Fat and stupid and slow Coveting the throne Lust to reproduce Lazy. Feed me. Endophallusy Swarming Compound eyes see the pollen start to rise Mandibles and baskets are awaiting Stripey stripey abdomen Plump with jelly not for men Queen is patient sat amongst The buzzing Born to be a drone Fat and stupid and slow Coveting the throne Endophallus out Lady. Mate me. Then I’ll cease to bee! Wings beat like a fan Cool the hive man! Shiver in the cold Warm the hive man!

This EP is a collection of songs from the last couple of years. They have all had their day in the sun as standalone tracks but they play nicely together too!
