that man that you knew is dead / said that man that you knew is dead / got a knife in the back of the heart / and a bullet through the front of his head / yeah that man that you knew is dead / hey that man that you knew is dead / you were there with a dull blade in hand when he fell to the pavement and bled / well that man that you knew is dead / yeah that man that you knew is dead / i was there when he prayed for forgiveness and fed himself one shot of lead / yeah that man that you knew is dead / said that man that you knew is dead / his body’s been burned and it’s buried beneath the wood planks at the foot of my bed / said that man that you knew is dead / yeah that man that you knew is dead / oh that man that you knew is dead / and you ain’t never gonna see him again

This Glasgow band is less straightforward or formulaic than many others currently treading the '80s post-punk path. These songs are winged. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 22, 2017
Terrific, marauding post-punk that will thrill fans of Idles with its pairing of cutting riffs and wry spoken/sung lyrics. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 26, 2022
