lyrics

Thinking back on the day, a line was put right thru me
I was shiny so sparkly so new
Expectations of landing a big catch grew in me
Hooking up with a monster or two
I was bent with intent on a winner
Didn't seem such a hard thing to prove
At the end of the trip I was reeled up
Hook was clean and my shine was so blue.
Ooooooooooh - It doesn't have to be that way. Ok OK OK?

Second day out at sea, wasn't better than first time
kept on coming up empty and dry
There were more like me in the waters along side
Looking big and so fresh and so fly
Most were pulling a sizeable income
I was losing my shine by and by
Then I heard a sweet song from the deep tides
It was simple and honest and right

Ooooooooooh - It doesn't have to be that way. Ok OK OK?

Time to shine feel so fine now and focus
Keep an eye on the prize, follow thru
no more steering a boat that was sinking
I knew now what it was I should do
Find the side of myself that most shiny
Lock on target and hold to it true
Suddenly I'm attached to a great white
and it's about to be breaking news

~~~It doesn't have to be this way…. ok, ok ok?

Kind of a crazy cross between FLA and Danny Elfman. Hard to describe. Very interesting if you give it a chance. Christopher Musial

Saw Kanga last night in Houston , instantly was entranced by her sound , sucked me into the Kangakult vortex , so glad I got to see her live , should have looked into her sooner as Gary Numan was so supportive of her on the Revolution tour , oh now it’s time to catch up and get further involved Callum Gray

This album should be ranked very high in ranks of latest industrial albums, because it just crushes the competition. THIS is how it's done people. Menacing vocals, pounding drums and haunting electronics have no mercy on your ears and leave you with not one second of peace. Play this loud and do people around you a service. FLESH MECHANIC
