First single 'Cocoons' is accompanied by a video. A queasy and literal translation of the surreal lyrics in a broken 90's clip-art, PC-game style, made by former Gay Against You vocalist and fellow Glaswegian, visual artist Lachlann Rattray.
lyrics
(i'm your delivery man
trailing with the places i've been
glasgow smell stuck in my hair
the scent is dissolved like effervescent air)
what' we going to do,
what' we going to do with you?
knock knock, delivery ma'am
glasgow smell stuck right in my hair
the scent is dissolved like effervescent air
and i'm trailing with the tiny bits of all the places i have been, yeah
back in cocoons!
what' we going to do,
what' we going to do with you?
what' we going to do,
what' we going to do with you?
she said:
fill me up with packing foam and plastic
send me recorded delivery
then she starts repeating..
bootleg my thighs
bootleg my thighs
back in cocoons..
i'm part mean and i'm part crude
and i'm all assembled to be your food
i was sure these gears were queers for 19 years
you're a hostage to fortune and it's mine
and as these 5 horses you call your senses
drag you through your days
i hope you are enjoying this
cos being will have me in an early grave
from a blue skied oven
bathed in Z-11
to minus 20 at the smoking bit
the smoking bit in bitter berlin
and like the sun you get at everything
dissolved and bleaching landscapes brutal
how do i recognise the un-scent/unsent
how do i know what you really really meant?
