  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    "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

Things...
Things...

What kind of things?
All kinds of things
Everywhere
All over the fucking place
You can hardly move
for things getting better

You get up in the morning you go down the street
There’s a better class of dogshit under you feet
That’s one thing you know that’s getting better
Better better better better better

And you see the same shit everywhere you go
Round the house and in your face and in your clothes
Things getting better better better

Yeah I can hardly contain myself now

Oh shit used to be awful in the olden days
Everything was broken
You couldn’t put your shit anywhere
without getting it knocked over by some twat
In the daytime, in the evening,
In your hearing, in your sight
Going over and out of your mind
With things now are getting better
Better better better better better

Things... getting better...
Aaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggghhhhh!

Fuck it.
Fuck the lot of ‘em
Ah shit.
I used to prefer things when they were getting worse.

Ah shit.
I preferred people when they stunk a bit
But now everybody smells fucking fantastic

Things getting better better
Getting better everywhere you go

Gah! Fuck it all! I’ll be glad when I’m dead
If I’m lucky I might have twenty minutes left
I’ll do my best to fuck that up yup

Things yep getting better better better better

Fuck the lot of them.
Why do they bother?
Fuck making new tunes.
Fuck making new shit

Play the same shit
Play the same shit
Play the same shit
Over and over and over again

Quit while you’re a head

Shove your anthems up your arse
