    "The Experimental Novelist" is a seven minute long track that was recorded at the sessions for our LP Sanity Testing. It was left off the record as we didn't have space. We have pressed up fifty copies and made covers ourselves by hand. The front covers are all unique and printed on genuine manuscript pages from one of Simon's novels. Each copy is hand numbered and signed by all the band.

    NB It was mistakenly pressed at 33rpm because Simon was pissed when he did the order but it sounds ace. The track is not available to listen to on Bandcamp because we are perverse bastards. Sorry about that.

lyrics

I’m just a straight-up guy who’s heard too many lies
I seen them petrify into this crumbling edifice
Don’t he just look a sight? I can’t believe my eyes
I’m frankly horrified it should have come to this

Are you educated? Are you educated? Are you educated Yet?
Are you agitated? Are you agitated? Are you agitated yet?
Are you organised? Or otherwise occupied?

I don’t have all the clues I can’t make no sense of it
There’s them as say they do... could you really give a shit?
How do you hope to pull it off when it’s bogan versus toff?
How will you know when to stop when your boss calls out the cops? eh?

Chorus

And when they come for us that doesn’t mean you’re off the hook
You might not fight or fuss. That just makes you twice as fucked
So what’s the use of all your bitching now the cops are in the kitchen?
They’ll be rooting through the knife rack. It’s a bit too late to fight back
You can’t choose your future. You can choose your company
I don’t want your future
I don’t want it choosing me

Chorus
