Cursed (Goat Mix)

by The Bedlam Furnaces

/

about

This mix is a homage to UK 1970s folk-horror, with a nod to Swedish band Goat. Inspired by some contemporary UK politicians,'Cursed' is actually a warning about the direction our world is being taken in by psychopaths and narcicists enabled and empowered by vested financial interests.

lyrics

It dies like a tooth –
The roots go first,
I'd like to have the option,
but who knows which is worse?
Your cup runneth over
Yet it doesn't quench your thirst
And we'll only reach the daylight if we hurry.

Your heart is on your sleeve
but the arteries have burst
You communicate through memes –
but all of them are cursed
I'd like to know the half of it but
your lies are not the worst.
And we'll only reach the daylight if we hurry.

There's three people talking
And two of them are you
Your face is facing everyway
and that's 'cause you have two
The deed is done, we' re being done and don't know what to do
And we'll only reach the daylight if we hurry

You're trying to be serious but
it's wind that makes you frown
You're raising many flags and
one day they'll take you down
The thunder's rolling nearer and
you're laughing like a clown
And we'll only reach the daylight if we hurry.

Roll up! Roll up! Come see the parade!
The Liars!
The Dividers!
The Grifters!
Pundits and War-mongers!
Friends In HIgh Places!
Friends In Low Places!
And of course, without further ado… Our Beloved Leader!
