King No-One - Lemonade
Released: 11/01/19
Highlights:
“My mechanical mates,
They can’t see straight,
But I know I’m stained,
I was fine before I met you.”
“I’m in my phantom phase,
Locking up my borders like the USA,
When it’s over (be yours)
I’ll be your lemonade.”
“I'm the feminine type,
The bad boys don't like,
I can feel the night she,
Sirens me to fake procreate.
With a neck placed kiss,
Drawn from my acid lips,
And a slide of the hips I,
I'm a phoenix under your thighs.”

Jade Bird - I Get No Joy
Released: 16/01/19
Highlights:
“Military march,
In and out my head,
Everything I did,
Everything I said.”
“Everything becomes everything,
You live, you learn, you love, you’re dead,
I get no joy.”
“I swear that I don’t pay attention,
If I did, would intervention come to me in a dream?
Or is that just what the directors and the pills and
Other deflectors would have you believe?
Psychotic, hypnotic, erotic; which box is your thing?
Fact how many days a week do you feel
Electric, connected, unexpectedly affected?
What do you need?
What do you need?”

Priestgate - Wouldn’t Life
Released: 17/01/19
Highlights:
“Wouldn’t life be boring,
With no strings attached,
Wouldn’t life be something,
With no-one to hold your hand.”
“Cause B is for boring,
‘Cause B is for something else,
The world won’t stop for you,
Not even if I asked it to.”
“I lost it all in the rain,
But tomorrow might not be the same,
Very typically,
So typically,
Times they change,
But tomorrow might be okay,
But tomorrow might be okay.”

The Specials - 10 Commandments
Released: 21/01/19
Highlights:
“Thou may catcall me on the street,
But thou should take note that I'll catcall you right back,
To tell you that you look pretty sexy too in your joggers,
Or your suit, or your new-found look of confusion.”
“Is that what it takes to impress a bloke?
Whose brain is made up of promises of curvy size zeros,
And anti-gravity tits?”
“Thou shall not tell a girl she deserved it,
Because her skirt was too short,
She walked home, streets lights illuminating her as a target,
But she started it, because she looked at him,
And he finished it 'cause he wanted to,
And they'll bring out her skirt as "exhibit A" before the judge.”

Foals - Exits
Released: 22/01/19
Highlights:
“Cause they watch us in sleep,
The language that we speak,
And the secrets that we keep.”
“They got exits covered,
All the exits underground,
I wish I could figure it out,
But the world’s upside down.”
“Oh, to dream this all off,
In the islands of the mind,
The places they can’t find.”

Anteros - Drive On
Released: 23/01/19
Highlights:
“We followed signs and artificial lines,
For a tinted sky where the sun always shines,
We're palm tree tall, close my eyes and I won't fall,
My hands trim the air but my feet can't feel the floor.”
“I can close my eyes to see,
Doesn't mean that much to me,
'Cause it feels like heaven but it looks like hell.”
“Pulled apart the city without a heart,
How I mourned our loss with my fingers crossed,
The sad delight, we don't smile but we never fight,
How we learned to ignore what we needed to know”

AURORA - Animal
Released: 24/01/19
Highlights:
“I stand at the headlights,
Looking for a corner where I can't be found,
With a goddess in my right eye,
Watching every lover on the battleground.”
“You're hunting for love,
Killing for pleasure,
Lost in a concrete jungle,
If I am alone,
Make me a stranger,
Lost in a concrete jungle.”
“I keep the memories alive,
The weight upon my shoulders felt so divine,
With a goddess in my right eye,
Watching every step I take before I die.”

Florence + The Machine - Moderation
Released: 24/01/19
Highlights:
“Then bow your head in the house of God, And little girl, who do you think you are? You think you need it, you think you want love, You wouldn't want it if you knew what it was, Moderation, Moderation, Moderation.”
“Want me to love you in moderation,
Do I look moderate to you?
Sip it slowly and pay attention,
I just have to see it through,
You got me looking for validation,
Pastures new,
Want me to love you in moderation,
Well, who do you think you’re talking to?”
“Girl, you better learn (I just can't win)
How to hold it in (Can't hold it in)
And girl, you better learn (I just can't win)
I just can't win (Can't hold it in)
'Cause I don't see the words (I just can't win)
I don't see the words,
And I'm still trying to figure out if it,
Always, always, always has to hurt.”

Hey Charlie - Bad Things
Released: 24/01/19
Highlights:
“We can get emotional,
They’ve got us under mind control,
It’s like in 1984,
Except that shit’s not fictional,
And what they told us was a lie,
But they repeated it so many times,
How were we supposed to know that life is just a TV show?”
“The warning sounds are loud and clear,
Reality is drawing near,
But you don’t listen and you don’t see,
This wasn’t how it’s meant to be.”
“Always telling us that we’re wrong (We’re sick of it)
I just want to feel I belong (And go with it)
Bad things, bad things.”

Rat Boy - Don’t Hesitate
Released: 25/01/19
Highlights:
“Don't hesitate, don't hesitate, don't hesitate,
We're here right now so choose your fate.”
“Snatch shotgun, I'm on the run,
But you know I did it all for the fun,
Slipped disk 'til my back goes stiff,
Well, you know I did it just for the hell of it.”
“Kid got shot point blank in the back,
All the homies said, "Well, he had it coming",
And only 14, that's a life for nothing,
Bunch of roaches running through gutter,
They're living longer lives than most of us fuckers,
I hear shackles dumping in the back room,
I hear the tackles coming from the boys in blue.”
