Swooping Energies

"Hey!
Ooh

Swooping energies, I love you
So shot me down again I want you now
Would you like to play another game?

Swooping energies (x2)
Give me one more chance now, baby (x3)

(Repeat verse)
Swooping energies (x2)
Give me one more chance now baby (x3)

Moving
Swooping"

A chunky guitar start and we are into GBV Glam Rock territory. Crunchy sounding song. Sounds like your typical GBV 2nd tier material. Reminds me a lot of "Invisible Train To Earth" but not quite as good. Still, not a bad song.

"Foul and unchanged
climbing the rope
Get in to the mood
do you think there's still hope

voted in no names
prescribing the dope

a father that requires skin
a christian who trusts in his bookie
zoos are the new truth
for the island-shopping rookie

evolutionary big shots
transcribing the words"

A great big fuzzy rock song weighing it at around 2 minutes. Quite an industrial sort of sound with pulsing guitars and drums and some fantastic lyrics. Another minor Classic that probably passes some by.

For Liberty

Taken from "The Pipe Dreams of Instant Prince Whippet" 2002

"image twisted jilted feeble,
and however we become,
whomever grand marshals,
and naval commanders
enjoy our daughters of joy,
and its the finer things in life,
that allow us to stand up for liberty,
only even without reaching "

Weighing in in under 1 minute (57 seconds to be exact) this little ditty from the Instant Prince Whippet EP is a pretty good example of Pollard twisted and psychedelic verse and electric strumming. The words in isolation don't make much sense but somehow touch you on an emotional level. Pollard does that a lot, a line that means nothing to someone else means a great deal to you. When the song hits the "for liberty" section it feels like a gentle call to arms.
