condemned2bfree Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 New album from NMA. Great production, scathing poignant lyrics as expected from them. I did nothing wrong, I did nothing wrong I was always straight and honest as the days were always long I loved the job, I loved to help the people I did nothing wrong, they found me in the morning Asleep in a sea of paper, coffee stains and bits of paper Failed sums and bits of paper and nothing still resolved Tick the boxes only, only ones and zeros Only tick the boxes, winners and losers only Only right and wrong, innocent or guilty only I stare at numbers and stare at the screen I stare at numbers and stare at the walls closing in I stare at numbers and stare at the screen I stare at numbers and stare at the walls closing in Machines do not lie, machines cannot lie The company men arrive, business suits and poker faces I offered what I could, but I am under suspicion Must be, Somebody knows what’s going on, somebody isn’t saying The strategies of money, multiply with others paying And everything decided higher up the chain I stare at numbers and stare at the screen I stare at numbers and stare at the walls closing in I stare at numbers and stare at the screen I stare at numbers and stare at the walls closing in The circuits, the logic, it follows, it follows, it follows… That if you like that you’re going to love this If you bought that, you’re going to buy this If you followed that, you’re going to follow this If you agreed with that, you can agree with this If you like that you’re going to love this If you bought that, you’re going to buy this If you swallowed that, you’re going to swallow this If you agreed with that, you can agree with this And oh, the numbers game and the losers to take the blame And the acrid smell of fear, it seeps in everywhere I did nothing wrong, I told them in the courtroom Now the sound of prison metal, the sound of closing gates And worst of all, the sound of footsteps receding....... Can't understand why NMA are not bigger than they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one of Spotify or Wikipedia alludes to the same thing. They don't fit strongly into any 1 box musically-speaking which is probably one of the main reasons. Love all the albums I've got or heard - e.g. Ghost of Cain, Impurity and Strange Brotherhood (maybe another). I must check out all the others I've missed plus this new one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
condemned2bfree Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 New Model Army - Language. Give me salt, give me sugar, give me what I crave A way to see how the animals see Give me a story where the good people win at the end I want a room with a view over a world on fire Never try to second guess the heart’s desires in disarray But the words will give us, they’ll give us away The language of love will bring us love The language of war will bring us war The way that all the words become true The way that all the words become true The language of love will bring us love The language of war will surely bring us war We choose it, we own it, we choose it, we own it Down from the sky they were coming – in this vision of the screaming cacophony of the wild hunt – let them pass, let them go – it would be the worst trip you’ve ever had, because if there’s one thing for sure, it’s that the pursuit of happiness will drive anyone mad. So let them go, careering and screeching through the world with the heads of the guilty on spikes paraded out in front of a sea of waving flags The language of war will bring us war The language of fear will bring us fear The language of lies will bring us lies The language of love will bring us love And everything that touches anything makes a sound Sometimes all you want to do is scream We all had our chances and we know that we blew it And so we live with the lie even though we see clean right through it And in your beautiful eyes I can see the manifest forming It’s the things that you fear the most that you’re going to make happen The language of love will bring us love The language of war will bring us war The way that all the words become true The way that all the words become true The language of love will bring us love The language of war will surely bring us war We choose it, we own it, we choose it, we own it We choose it, and we own it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
