lyrics

love lost got a crooked core
time stamped on the killing floor
time come gonna ring your bell
lines meet at the clang and knell
never known what you don't know
reachin' for what's hanging low
bottle filled up to the brim
no escape in the mess we're in

all your races run down
twist of fate only turnin' you 'round
all your best things are shrouds
know your place like a hole in the ground

they can't dance just the way they want
take no chance if you know what i am
here and they're gone and they're still getting it wrong
the will is his tonight

try to live like you did before
mom and pop blew away the store
no rest for the coming race
and your best ain't gonna place
raised on a pride that just don't stick
a bag o' used up party tricks
and it you don't know by now
ain't nobody gonna show you how

all your races run down
twist of fate only turnin' you 'round
all your best things are shrouds
know your place like a hole in the ground

they can't dance just the way they want
take no chance if you know what i am
here and they're gone and they're still getting it wrong
the will is his tonight

about

Shop Talk Brooklyn, New York

“NYC punk that sounds like it was transported from another dimension. Anthemic and addictive, but dark and dreary, like London and pre-hardcore L.A. mingling somewhere mysterious. The psychobilly tinges and warbly vocals really solidify SHOP TALK as a band who sound like…SHOP TALK. Which is a feat in itself, but they’re also really fukkn good at it.” —Maximum Rocknroll ... more
