Strangled By The Stereowire, lyric by Archers Of Loaf

from the songs album All The Nation's Airports

Strangled by the stereowire
Cut and depressed in the victim's eye.
With a public finger on a false alarm.
Pulling down in a rush of irreversible lies.

A cold so thick that the static glows.
Leaks off her chest so the people know.
Splintered and strained as the rupture grows.
Is all cynically thrown down a swallowing throat.

Strangled by the stereowire
Cut and depressed in the victim's eye.
With a public finger on a false alarm.
Pulling down in a rush of irreversible lies.

A cold so thick that the static glows.
Leaks to the press so the people know.
Splintered and strained as the rupture grows.
Is all cynically thrown down a swallowing throat.

Is all cynically thrown down a swallowing throat.
A swallowing throat...
