lyrics

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

about

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. ... more

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! Jez Noir

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! Master of Alchemy
