Compound 03:20
It's gonna take more than a magic word Tripwires will have you chewing the earth Robbed blind by humankind You may seek but you shall not find Not today No way through Here in the compound we're scraping by Salvaged batteries running dry Let me be clear, we don't deal in fear But you've darkened the wrong tower So, turn around No way through Turn around Leave the compound

Great show tonight sir, they were eating out of your hand But we've got a problem Someone knows your secret, they've seen your blueprints So they're making moves With giant mirrors and private muscle Keep pushing on Seize all the bridges, scramble the choppers It's time to shine Put on your face Show them your smile Make a few calls Party on Too many toys Not enough time Get to the point Drink it in Light them up Fire had destroyed him but like a phoenix of shit He was reborn He won the West without breaking a sweat What did you expect? Harbouring dreams of glory and fantastical weaponry You've seen it before Cruel as a desert, dense as a jungle Here we go again Put on your face Show them your smile Make a few calls Party on Too many toys Not enough time Get to the point Drink it in

The juice of lemons makes fine punch Are you getting thirsty? You need to learn to trust your hunch And prove you're worthy Week after week, it's familiar enough Squeeze another one Month after month, it's the wrong stuff Much too bitter, you know it's poison You've gone over the top You've gone over the top this time

Startup, stalling, whirring Pouring, boring, failing Yawning, sighing, seething Pliant, forging nothing Power up the drill So many dreams for us to kill Tap your reserves And you will get what you deserve Power up the drill So many dreams for us to kill Tap your reserves Sustain the lie Happy to help Happy to learn Shutdown, lying, grinning Twofold, threefold, spinning Yawning, sighing, seething Pliant, forging nothing Power up the drill So many dreams for us to kill Tap your reserves And you will get what you deserve Power up the drill So many dreams for us to kill Tap your reserves Sustain the lie Happy to help Happy to learn

Propel us forward one at a time On the politburo's wheels When we face stagnation We remember our ideals We all know the doctrine We can move ahead No more isolation Streets are painted red From the woods To the shop To the school Leave it here Leave it there Keep the faith

If my friends could see me now Holy cow, they'd believe it If I had the energy and time You know I would change it Eagle can't seem to get off the ground Put it in the hangar and it won't make a sound Its heart is still stuck in neutral Good weather but the show's rained off I have no need for entertainment When I can frag the well-being channel A constellation of nano-failures Winter sun on a brick wall Paramedics burning rubber Wires overhead If my friends could see me now Holy cow, they'd believe it If I had the energy and time You know I would change it Good weather but the show's rained off Wires overhead, dealing in dread If I had the energy and time

Complacency kills, we're living proof Breaking up the floor, tearing down the roof Air-conditioned malady, corporate Memphis tapestry In the shadow of a new idea there is a hack in a trance Broke the key off in the lock, now that's what I call impact The feudal lord is back again No real domain but they'll pretend So push your rock up the hill until you're feeling fulfilled With careful marshalling, sacred tasks will be performed And we ascend to heaven, our souls absorbed With a purging light, obliterate time Alienation, sublime

We couldn't be any purer of heart It was clear from the start I'm down in the tunnels, but I won't sing I think I'm turning now I must be turning now The hypothesis holds

about

Zilch Patrol is a group from the district of Byker in Newcastle upon Tyne featuring Michael on guitars, Hannah on vocals, and John on bass. The group’s cocktail of noise-rock/post-punk/genre-core music comprises fuzzed-out guitar gestures, driving drum machine beats, and, above all, adrenaline-fuelled ferocity. The group's self-titled album/demo offers both a distillation of their influences (Black Flag, My Bloody Valentine, several other namedrop-worthy outfits) and a showcasing of their own off-kilter sound, intended to make an impression on Newcastle upon Tyne’s exciting contemporary music scene.
