lyrics

Winner of the 2016 Ship and Anchor Song Writing Contest

lyrics
He stabbed the ground with a cold kitchen blade
Knealt in the fields amongst the bales of hay
A will to be heard a power undisturbed
We think the neighbours might talk

Mother sighed and sipped at her gin
Saw the mounds of attention headlines brought in
Listen close son listen well
All our neighbours can go straight to (Hell!)

(Chorus)
This God damn home it spins too fast
Knocking down what’s in its path
Of my opinion we can stop
This slab of blood, this lazy rock

So we dressed our best held our heads up high
Never shed a tear you must never let them see you cry
Say it’s pride, your will to be heard
These skeletons surround me, they tell me I’m absurd

(Chorus)
This God damn home it spins too fast
Knocking down what’s in its path
Of my opinion we can stop
This God damn home it spins too fast
Knocking down what’s in its path
And I don’t care if the neighbours talk
No I don’t care if the neighbours talk

(Instrumental)

Well it has no brakes no credence here
Runs on gas and it runs on fear
Unhinge the ground and open wide
Let us all climb deep inside

(Chorus)
This God damn home it spins too fast
Knocking down what’s in its path
Of my opinion we can stop
This God damn home it spins too fast
Knocking down what’s in its path
And I don’t care if the neighbours talk
No I don’t care if the neighbours talk
I don’t care if the neighbours talk (Repeat many times)
