DON’T TRY TO TELL ME THIS IS CIVILISED
YOU THINK WE’VE MOVED ON UP FROM FIRE AND TRIBES
AND YET I SEE THE FIGHTING
OVER SEE THROUGH LINES
NON-EXISTENT PLACES PUT THERE BY OUR MINDS
OR THEIR CRIMES
KEEP ON DISTRACTING FROM THE ONE INSIDE
SO FAR DROWNED OUT
HE’S STARTED MAKING SIGNS
BUT WE’RE FAR TOO PREOCCUPIED
WITH THE FAKE DIVIDE TO REALISE
WE’RE LOST INSIDE THIS WASTE OF LIFE
TELL ME WHY THE ONES WHO CHOOSE
REFUSE TO USE THEIR MINDS
DON’T TRY TO TELL ME THAT YOU’RE INNOCENT
YOU DIDN’T KNOW THAT THIS WAS PUNISHMENT
YOU DEAL OUT
BLEEDING THE PLANET JUST TO MAKE A CENT
TELL ME NOW DOES THIS SOUND
TO YOU LIKE COMMON SENSE
RAKING THE PROFIT JUST TO FEED YOUR GREED
SO OBSCENE
NOT LIKE YOU SHARE IT WITH THE ONES IN NEED
OBVIOUSLY
THEY’RE LAUGHING AT US AS WE TRY TO SLEEP
TRY TO SLEEP WHILE YOU KEEP ON BEING
LOST INSIDE THIS WASTE OF LIFE
TELL ME WHY THE ONES WHO CHOOSE
REFUSE TO USE THEIR MINDS

MADE OF DIRT
OF THIS EARTH
STRAIGHT FROM BIRTH
WE’RE ALL GOING BACK
NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE
NONE SURVIVE
ALL LIFE DIES
YOU SHOULD REMEMBER
THAT WE’RE ALL THE SAME
ALL TO BLAME
WRAPPED IN SHAME
WAITING TO CRUMBLE INTO
OXIDISED
FOSSILISED
FOOD FOR FLIES
DON’T TRY TO TELL ME THAT YOU’RE MADE OF MORE
I’D SAY YOU’RE MADE OF LESS
WHERE’S YOUR SELFLESSNESS
ALL MADE OF DIRT
OPEN UP YOUR EYES
SEE ALL SIDES
REALISE
YOU’RE CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE
AND THERE’S NO ESCAPE
NO MISTAKES
NONE REMAIN
IT WON’T MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF YOU
SWAN AROUND
ACTING PROUD
SEEKING OUT
A WAY TO SAY YOU’RE BETTER
CAUSE YOUR SHIT STILL STINKS
NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK
SIT DOWN AND TAKE A DRINK
DON’T TRY TO TELL ME THAT YOU’RE MADE OF MORE
THAT MAKES YOU MADE OF LESS
WHERE’S YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS
YOU’RE ALWAYS STANDING ON THE INSIDE LOOKING OUT
I’M TRYING TO TELL YOU THAT THE FUTURE IS IN DOUBT
YOU SHOULD TRY STANDING ON THE OUTSIDE
LOOKING IN THIS WAR YOU’RE WAGING
YOU ARE NEVER GONNA WIN, NEVER GONNA WIN
STANDING ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN
THEY TRY TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR LIFESTYLE IS A SIN
AND WHILE THEY STAND THERE ON THE INSIDE
LOOKING OUT, THIS WAR THEY’RE WAGING
IT IS GONNA BRING ABOUT THE END
ALL MADE THE SAME
DON’T TRY TO TELL ME THAT YOU’RE MADE OF MORE
I’D SAY YOU’RE MADE OF LESS
WHERE’S YOUR SELFLESSNESS

DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME
TRYING TO SHAPE WHAT’S ON MY MIND
I KNOW HOW I’M SUPPOSED TO FEEL
YOU TWIST YOU SPIN
UNCOMFORTABLE IN YOUR OWN SKIN
DON’T KNOW WHAT’S RIGHT OR WHAT IS REAL
SO WHAT IS REAL
YOU SCREAM YOU SHOUT
BUT I DON’T HEAR A WORD COME OUT
THE LOUDEST MOUTHS BELONG TO FOOLS
YOUR ACID TONGUE
DROWNING OUT THE DEALERS SONG
THE DAMAGE CAUSED IS ABSOLUTE
SO WHAT’S THE TRUTH NOW
YOU HYPNOTISE
REPETITION STREAMING LIES
INSIDE YOUR HATE YOU’RE PREACHING FEAR
YOUR MIND SHUT TIGHT
REFUSING TO LET THROUGH THE LIGHT
IGNORE THE CHANGE THAT’S DRAWING NEAR
YOU SPEAK THE WORDS
BUT YOU NEVER SOUNDED SO ABSURD
A STRING OF BROKEN NEVER TRUTHS
YOU RAISE YOUR TONE
SO THE ONLY VOICE YOU HEAR IS YOUR OWN
A DIATRIBE OF NOTHING NEW
YOU SCREAM YOU SHOUT
BUT I DON’T HEAR A WORD COME OUT
THE LOUDEST MOUTHS BELONG TO FOOLS
YOUR ACID TONGUE
DROWNING OUT THE DEALERS SONG
THE DAMAGE CAUSED IS ABSOLUTE
SO TRY THE TRUTH NOW

MY BODY’S ACHING
AND MY SOUL IS RAW
COULD BE MISTAKEN
THINK I’VE SEEN THIS BEFORE
SLOW BEGINS THE SICKNESS
ANOTHER CYCLE IN TIME
CONCEALS THE SECRETS
BEING LOST TO OUR KIND
SLOW BEGINS THE SICKNESS
AND NOW WE’RE BLEEDING
THESE FIELDS ARE BREATHING
THEY RISE AND FALL WITH THE TIDE
WE USED TO FEEL THEM
NOW WE’RE JUST RUNNING BLIND
THINK IT’S A SICKNESS
COMES FROM I DON’T KNOW WHERE
COULD BE A WEAKNESS
COULD BE WE’RE TAUGHT NOW NOT TO CARE
SLOW BEGINS THE SICKNESS
AND NOW WE’RE BLEEDING
SO MANY DREAMING
SO MANY SLEEPWALK THROUGH LIFE
TOO SCARED OF DYING
TOO SCARED TO OPEN THEIR EYES
THEY SEE THE HEADLINES
SCREAMING MURDER AND LIES
TOO BUSY SHOUTING TOO LOUD
TO HEAR THE DAMN REPLIES
YEAH YOU TELL ME NOTHING LASTS FOR NO ONE
AS WE ACCELERATE FULL PACE INTO THE SETTING SUN
YOU TELL ME I’M JUST A DREAMER
BUT I’M TELLING YOU THAT IT’S YOU
AND YOUR LOVE THAT AIN’T SO STRONG
IT AIN’T SO STRONG LIKE MINE MOTHERFUCKER

IN THIS SPACE
WOULD YOU RECOGNISE MY FACE
THOUGH I HAVE AGED BEYOND MY DAYS
I WOULD KNOW YOUR MULTI-COLOURED SOUL
OH MY LOVE FROM A MILLION MILES AWAY
THE SHAPES THAT WE HAVE SEEN
THE SPACES INBETWEEN
MAKES IT CLEAR TO ME
I WILL MISS YOU BABY
OH WHEN I AM GONE
DEEP RED SKIES
AS I CLOSE MY EYES
THE SETTING SUN UPON MY FINAL DAY
I’VE KNOWN TIMES
I THOUGHT THIS LIGHT WOULD NEVER DIE
NOW I FEEL IT CARRY ME AWAY
YET IT’S NOT DEATH I FEAR MY LOVE
IT’S LIFE WITHOUT YOU NEAR
TO FEEL A SMILE UPON MY FACE YET SHED NO TEARS
ALL THIS TIME I NEVER FELT SO MUCH ALIVE
AND NOW I ONLY WISH I COULD REMAIN
BREATHE YOU IN FEEL
YOUR SUN CARESS MY SKIN
THE FADING GLOW OF WHAT WAS ONCE MY OWN
I SEARCH THE SKY
TRY TO FIND THE REASON WHY
IT TOOK ME SO DAMN LONG TO COME TO LIFE
IN THIS SPACE
WOULD YOU RECOGNISE MY FACE
THOUGH I HAVE AGED BEYOND MY DAYS

SO IT BEGINS
ANOTHER DANCE
ANOTHER CHANCE TO SHED OUR SKINS
ESCAPE THE CONFINES OF THE CAGE THEY KEEP US IN
BREAK OUT THE PRIMAL URGE WITHIN
BURN THE FLAG DOWN
EMBRACE THE CALLING
OF THE SOUND THAT’S ON THE GROUND
REACH OUT AND BE THE ENERGY THAT’S BEEN UNBOUND
LET YOUR BLOOD FLOW INTO THE GLOW THAT LEADS TO
HORSEHEAD
LIGHT THE FIRE AND SING YOUR SONG
OBSESSED
WITH THE WAY YOU MOVE
THE WAY YOU GROOVE THE WAY YOU TAKE YOUR
HORSEHEAD
LEAD THE DANCE WE BECOME ONE
OBSESSED WITH THE WAY YOU MOVE
THE WAY YOU GROOVE THE WAY YOU TAKE IT
WHAT DID THEY DO
WHAT DID THEY SAY
TO MAKE THE WAVES INSIDE OF YOU
RISE UP AND BREAK AGAINST
THE WALLS THAT HIDE THE TRUTH
TO SHOW US ALL WHAT WE MUST DO
NOT ONE WILL FADE
NOT ONE WILL TURN
NOT ONE WILL HIDE NOR WALK AWAY
UNTO THE CREATURE YOU HAVE MADE US
WE ARE CHAINED AND MAY IT ALWAYS BE THIS WAY
HORSEHEAD
LIGHT THE FIRE AND SING YOUR SONG
OBSESSED
WITH THE WAY YOU MOVE
THE WAY YOU GROOVE THE WAY YOU TAKE YOUR
HORSEHEAD
LEAD THE DANCE WE BECOME ONE
OBSESSED
WITH THE WAY YOU MOVE
THE WAY YOU GROOVE THE WAY YOU TAKE IT ON HOME

BORN TO LIFE
WHERE HATE IS OH SO STRONG
CAN SHE FIND
A SPACE TO CALL HER OWN
SHE CRIES OH WHY IS EVERYTHING SO WRONG
SHE’S HAUNTED BY
THE LOVE THAT BURNS THE SUN
TURN IT ON
FOREVER LONG
BURN THE SUN
MEDITATE
BLOCK OUT THE CONSTANT HUM
NAVIGATE
TO WHERE SHE THOUGHT SHE’D BE ALONE
A CALL TO ALL
WHY CAN’T WE BE AS ONE
WHY WON’T YOU FEEL
THE LOVE THAT BURNS THE SUN
TURN IT ON
FOREVER LONG
BURN THE SUN
TURN IT ON
MAKE IT BURN
BORN TO LIFE
WHERE HATE IS OH SO STRONG
CAN WE FIND
A PLACE TO CALL OUR OWN
EMBRACE A TASTE
OF HOW WE SHOULD BE ONE
ESCAPE THIS RACE
TO FIND THE LOVE
DEFINE THE BURNING SUN
TURN IT ON
FOREVER LONG
BURN THE SUN

THIS TWISTED SENSE OF HUMOUR
THAT YOU CALL LIFE
BEEN LAUGHING IN MY FACE
AS IT STICKS IN THE KNIFE
A NEVERENDING SEQUENCE
OF NOTHING GONE RIGHT
LET ME SING MY SONG
‘FORE YOU TURN OUT THE LIGHT
HEY, OUT MY WAY
I’M GETTING SICK OF THE VIEW
TAKE MY PLACE
I’M STEPPING OUT OF THE QUEUE
I DON’T MEAN NO OFFENCE
AND I AIN’T TRYING TO BE RUDE
DON’T MIND ME
I’M JUST LEARNING TO LOSE
FEELS LIKE I’M STRICKEN BY MADNESS
FROM OUT OF THE BLUE
HANDS NAILED DOWN TO A TRAIN
AND IT’S STARTING TO MOVE
THIS ALTERED STATE OF CONSCIOUS
GETTING CONSTANTLY SKEWED
I NEED TO FIND SOME PEACE
SO I CAN BE SOOTHED
I BREATHE AND I REACH
FOR THE TRUTH
YET ALL I FIND
IS THE UNMISTAKABLE PROOF
THE GAME IS FIXED
AND THE RULES JUST EXIST
TO CONFUSE
AND THERE AIN’T A GODDAMN THING
YOU CAN DO
HEY, OUT MY WAY
I’M GETTING SICK OF THE VIEW
TAKE MY PLACE
I’M STEPPING OUT OF THE QUEUE
I DON’T MEAN NO OFFENCE
AND I AIN’T TRYING TO BE RUDE
DON’T MIND ME
I’M JUST LEARNING TO LOSE

WHAT KIND OF LUNATIC
PAINTS GOD IN HIS OWN IMAGE
TELL ME WHAT HAVE I MISSED
IS IGNORANCE TRULY BLISS
NEW DAWN AT THE FALL OF MAN
THIS IS WHERE THE END BEGAN
REFUSE NOW TO UNDERSTAND
RISE OF PSYCHO SAPIEN
I HEARD THE NEWS TODAY
THE VOICE OF REASON DIDN’T GET HER SAY
ALL THE WHILE THE WARS STILL RAGE
WE TURN OUR HEADS AND WE WALK AWAY
NEW DAWN AT THE FALL OF MAN
THIS IS WHERE THE END BEGAN
REFUSE NOW TO UNDERSTAND
RISE OF PSYCHO SAPIEN
RISE UP AGAINST
PSYCHO SAPIEN

HEY MOTHERFUCKER
TAKE A LOOK AT THE WORLD
IT’S THE LAST TIME YOU WILL
‘CAUSE THEY’RE BUILDING THE WALL
THE DELUDED HOLD THE POWER
AND DON’T KNOW THAT IT’S ALL
GONE WRONG, SO WRONG
PSYCHOPATHIC SUITED LIARS
PLAYING WAR WITH THEIR FRIENDS
MAKING NAMES FOR THEMSELVES
AT THE DOWNFALL OF MEN
OPEN YOUR EYES YOU WILL SEE
THAT IT’S ALL GONE WRONG, SO WRONG
HEY MOTHERFUCKER
TAKE A LOOK AT THE SUN
IT’S THE LAST TIME YOU WILL
‘CAUSE THEY’RE DROPPING THE BOMB
STUPID HUMAN LEADERS HAVE BEEN
ITCHING AT THE TRIGGERS SO LONG, SO LONG
HEY I WAS THINKING
WE COULD GO OUT DRINKING
WATCHING THE STARS
AS THEY CEASE EXISTING
A MILLION AND ONE
THAT HAVE ALREADY ALL
GONE WRONG, SO WRONG
THEY WOULDN’T CHANGE IT ON THE INSIDE
WE TRIED TO BREAK IT FROM THE OUTSIDE
THE END IS COMING AND IT’S NO SURPRISE
HEY MOTHERFUCKER
PASS THAT LEAF OVER HERE
MIGHT AS WELL BURN
NOW THERE’S NOTHING TO FEAR
WATCHING THE CLOUDS REARRANGE
NOW IT’S ALL GONE WRONG, SO WRONG
NOTHING WE CAN DO
BUT SAY GOODNIGHT TO THE MOON
TOO LATE TO REGRET
THAT IT’S OVER TOO SOON
CLOSE YOUR EYES PAY THE PRICE
NOW IT’S ALL GONE WRONG, SO WRONG
TAKE IT BACK TO YESTERDAY
IF YOU COULD WOULD YOU MAKE THAT CHANGE
TRY TO FIND A NEW WAY ‘FORE IT ALL GOES WRONG
WOULD YOU MAKE THE SACRIFICE
WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO PAY THAT PRICE
TRY TO FIND A NEW WAY ‘FORE IT ALL GOES WRONG
SO WRONG, SO WRONG, SO LONG

Blind River Guildford, UK
No click track. No auto-tune. No edits. “Bones For The Skelton Thief” was recorded direct to tape, in one take, across 2
days at Middle Farm Studios, Devonshire, England.
“Bones For The Skeleton Thief” is unashamedly raw and proudly defiant. The sound of a band in a room and nothing less.

This is absolutely killer - full to bursting with badass riffs and I love the energetic, propulsive drumming. Consistent and exceptionally mosh-provoking all the way through!

Foot stomping riffs peppered in each song and great melodies- Green Lung stays in heavy rotation.

Rough & Ready, Live & Loud

So many great songs, and so many great songs not included! OG live is THE best way to experience this band, it is one hell of a good night out. Seen them 3 times at The Joiners Arms, Southampton, 13 10 2006, 12 05 2007, and Halloween 31 10 2008, best days of my life. Sorry to hear that Martyn Millard has left the band, can't imagine OG without him. Thank you, Martyn! John Garcia guests vocals on Made of Rats & Jesus Beater on the Coup de Grace LP - you couldn't have a more weighty endorsement!
