But in the town, it was well known, when they got home at night their fat, psychopathic wives would thrash them within inches of their lives.

As relevant now as when it was first released ...

Love these lines too:

"Past the Saturday morning cinema that lies crumbling to the ground"
"And the piss stinking shopping center in the new side of town"

Perfectly describes my childhood memories of East London!

Oh yes indeed.

Probably not allowed to post bootlegs ROIO's links here, but if you can find their performances at Club Citta Kawasaki 13th of March 1990, and Brixton Academy 5th June 1993, you will not be disappointed. Both absolutely amazing live performances in crystal clear quality!

Nothing from Animals?


Bus stop rat bag, ha ha charade you are.
You fked up old hag, ha ha charade you are.
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass.




Bleating and babbling I fell on his neck with a scream.
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream.
