Song of the day
This is one of my favourite songs ever. Wire is an amazing band, and this whole album is fantastic, but this song really stands out. The simplicity of the song writing really lets the subtlety of the production and lyrics come through.
Here are the lyrics, just to add to how awesome this song is:
No blind spots in the leopard’s eyes
Can only help to jeopardize
The lives of lambs, the shepherd cries
An afterlife for a silverfish
Eternal dust less ticklish
Than the clean room, a houseguest’s wish
He lies on his side, is he trying to hide?
In fact it’s the earth, which he’s known since birth
Face worker, a serpentine miner
A roof falls, an underliner
Of leaf structure, the egg timer
