about

The first song from the Singing Loins since AD 2013
from the forthcoming vinyl album
13 MOON SONGS FROM MERRY HELL

Yep, after 6 years we've decided we've got yet more songs to give.
You lucky devils.

lyrics

YOUR AERIAL'S BENT, MATE

I know you're just trying to be a man, a kindly man,
but you're getting all the signals wrong.

Cos your aerial,
your aerial is bent, mate.
Your aerial is twisted
and it's warped.
Your aerial,
your aerial's bent, mate.
Your aerial is twisted
and it's damaged, damaged, damaged, damaged, oh...

I know you see yourself as an easy going chap
and it surprises you that others don't.

It's cos your aerial,
your aerial is bent, mate.
Your aerial is twisted
and it's thoroughly warped.
Your aerial,
your aerial's bent, mate.
Your aerial is twisted
and it's damaged, damaged, damaged, damaged, oh...

So laughably bent,
So irrevocably bent
So ridiculously bent,
So tragically bent, bent, bent, bent.

And no pliers, and no hammer, and no nothing
will ever straighten it out
without breaking it right off, off, off, off.

White noise
White noise
White noise
White noise...
