Still As Can Be

Start it up now
Don’t turn around
You’re as still as can be
You’re as still as can be
But you still
Twist to shape & break
Yourself in two for this
And it felt like a dream
I’m as still as can be
Answering machine
Decide for me
Hang up the phone
Pick up the phone
And stand
Twist to shape & break
Yourself in two for this
And it felt like a dream
I’m as still as can be

Behaviour
Behave as you’re told
Behaviour
Behave as you’re told
Mindless people in front of me
A glass shattered at an ending day
I could make you feel estranged
I could make you feel estranged
The kinda feeling makes you stiff
Wrapped up in a paper bag
A spoon of my love to you
A drop, tear, made to induce
Behaviour
Behave as you’re told
Behaviour
Behave as you’re told
Behaviour
Behave as you’re told
Behaviour
Behave as you’re told
Run yourself into the streets
Senseless moves under your sheets
A turning place is hard to hide
A faceless heart stuck inside
Conversations in your head
A million miles of drugs I dare
No sound, no vision telling me why you…
Behave
Behave as you’re told
Behaviour
Behave as you’re told

Mirror Image Blue

Visions reflecting mirror image blue
Ask yourself
Who are you?
Feel the pleasure in the way you hide beneath your breath
Ride into the night
Twist it nice and tight
I want it, I need it, I feel it, I’ll prove it
I’ll move it, I want it, I need it
Do you?
Just a mirror image blue
You’re just a mirrored image
Sneak out the back
and move exactly into place
It creeps right up and behaves
exactly how you want it
Just choose to be undeniably
set in place
There's no chain
exactly how you want it
I want it, I need it, I feel it, I’ll prove it
I’ll move it, I want it, I need it
Do you?
Just a mirror image blue
You’re just a mirrored image

Glass
04:04
|

Glass that was once together and strong
is now shattered and cracked
It won’t protect you
It’s torn when you redact
crawling through the cracks
undetected or resurrected
Floating through the motions
the clock hand ticking so slow
It’s ticking so slow
Frozen in time
the sand falls in the glass
Pour the sand straight into your hand
Glass that’s now broken in half
starts to detract
Shows what you lack
with or without you
tearing at the cracks
unprotected, held at a distance
Floating through the motions
The clock hand ticking so slow
Tangled in the roots
where desire meets the truth
Tangled in the roots
of what i’ve forgotten
Is it alarming
or is it charming
Frozen in time
the sand falls in the glass
Pour the sand straight into your hand

Personality Change

No words, no reaction
Show your sympathy
Catch a glimpse, a chain reaction
Show no apathy
A change in personality
is caught underneath the wheel
Your change in personality
is stuck underneath the wheel
I don’t know why
Do you?
Cold, make your eyes seem cold
Slow, make your mind move slow
Changing personality
Personality change
Flicker the switch, cover your eyes
Read the script, act surprised
Wave your hand in front of reflection
Show me how it feels
Catch a glimpse, a chain reaction
stuck underneath the wheel
I don’t know why
Do you?
Cold, make your eyes seem cold
Slow, make your mind move slow
Changing personality
Personality change

Pressure

What about intuition?
Integrity aside
Like so much conceptual art
The genius is the idea
Not the execution
I know you meant the difference
in treating me unkind
Unfinished accommodations
leads to suburban life
Keep on wasting on my time time
Keep on wasting on my time time
Walking contradiction
Inanimate objects
reporting information
keep you too distract
New York is under pressure
Forget about the signs
We will swim against the river
pushing side by side
Keep on wasting on your time time
Keep on wasting on your time time

Modern Toy

Frustration coming down
Alienation spits you out
The system is a video dancer
on the cover of a magazine
Hypnotic sensation, so obscene
You’re just a modern guy, an overrated toy
You’re just a modern guy, easy to avoid
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
Frustration coming down
Alienation spits you out
The system is a video dancer
on the cover of a magazine
Hypnotic sensation, so obscene
You’re just a modern guy, an overrated toy
You’re just a modern guy, easy to destroy
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
How does he handle heavy machinery?
Exploited scandal, I’m on the silver screen
plotting behind the scenes
heavy machinery
Workin on a dream and heavy machinery
How does he handle heavy machinery
Exploited scandal, I’m on the silver screen
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
Modern toy
You’re a Modern toy
You’re a modern…

Family Trip

They don’t give a shit
They don’t give you rope
It’s a mad society
underneath the stone
Now that you have more money
you know what to do with
Take your brothers and sisters
on a family trip
They don’t wanna see you
They don’t wanna be you
They don’t believe you
No no no no no no nooo
Now that I have found my piece of mind
It’s a modern reality of yourself
Of yourself
Your head is getting bigger
Your brain is getting smaller
Your head is getting bigger
Your brain is getting smaller
Your head is getting bigger
Your brain is getting smaller
Your head is getting bigger
Your brain is getting smaller
Your head is getting bigger
Your brain is getting smaller
Your head is getting biggerrrrr…
They don’t wanna see you
They don’t wanna be you
They don’t believe you
No no no no no no nooo

It Will Come To You LP

supported by 25 fans who also own “Boom Nights”
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.

Last Stop To Nowhere
by Reflection Black
Cinematic-scale goth from Reflection Black with catchy melodies, dreamy synths, punchy rhythms, and a sense of timelessness.

Another Autumn Day (Reissue with Bonus Tracks)
by Shadowplay
A killer re-release of a rare solo post-punk LP from 1988 by the frontman of Taste of Decay and Garden of Pleasures.

Portland's Sex Park are diligent students of Manchester new wave...but there are even more synths.
