  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Unfortunately we now only have B-stock available, in which the two vinyl discs are in pristine condition but the gatefold sleeves have very slight damage to a corner or corners, due to poor in-transit care by the postal courier (see examples in the photo).

about

Obsessive zealots in charge of the nation (or no longer):

lyrics

In your head there’s a psychopath frenzy
From your mouth there’s a cynical snarl
In your eyes a dismissive impatience
Withering scorn for society’s “noise”

And the way that you master your puppets
Riding roughshod over rules in the way
Sneer and smirk behind the mask of Rasputin
Pulling the strings in your “ideas” crusade

Words on fire
Save us from messiahs and people-blinkered thinkers
Words on fire
Save us from the rantings of robot puppet-masters
Words on fire
Save us from the zealots’ tongue

And in your mind you’re the anarchist Head-Chef
Nothing gets in the way of your goals
In your ego there’s your own self-importance
But in your heart there’s a massive big hole

What’s intelligence without emotions?
Innovation without Humanity?
But all the zealots go to Logical Heaven
Free from our failing mediocracy

Words on fire
Save us from messiahs and people-blinkered thinkers
Words on fire
Save us from the rantings of robot puppet-masters
Words on fire
Save us from the zealots’ tongue

Words on fire
Words on fire
Words on fire
Save us from the rantings of robot puppet masters
Words on fire
Words on fire
Words on fire
Words on fire
Words on fire
Words on fire
Save us from messiahs and people-blinkered thinkers
