about

"Backwords 2" is a song about the influence of the media on the general public, how they can be so easily swayed by the influence of spun truths and false words. The close-minded approach to the world we live in has to be torn up. It's less like a sequel to "Backwords" (from our album Blame Culture) and more like a progression. We're a different band who have got better at what we do, this felt like a way to showcase that with different dynamics and new wordplay. Right now, it's a frustrating and limiting time to be in a band: travel restrictions from the mess that it Brexit still loom, too many venues are suffering or closing down and we miss playing live. "Backwords 2" put those feelings into a direct song.

lyrics

They’ll twist your words like a tornado
Flip it round, dig down low
Reverse your words, let your nouns and verbs glow
They’re moving slow-mo, you are turbo
Only words can help them grow

Everybody want to act ‘RAW’
Until they get their ‘WAR’
He took a knife to a gun fight and tried to ‘DRAW’
Ended up in a hospital ‘WARD’
He ‘SAW’ what he ‘WAS’ but he ‘WAS’ what he ‘SAW’
All the good, all the bad, all the ‘WARTS’ and all
They’re 10 a penny, not a needle in the ‘STRAW’
It’s in our ‘DNA’ ‘AND’ it’s in yours
We’re on a ‘LOOP’ it’s in our gene ‘POOL’
The ‘LOOTS’ for the taking if you shovel the ‘STOOL’
Climb out the ‘PIT’ receive your ‘TIP’
The fruit machine ‘SPINS’ but the purse strings it ‘SNIPS’

They’ll twist your words like a tornado
Flip it round, dig down low
Reverse your words, let your nouns and verbs glow
They’re moving slow-mo, you are turbo
Only words can help them grow

He’s feeling ‘REGAL’ in his local, sipping a french ‘LAGER’
Putting the world to rights like he does in the barbers
"I’m a swine I ‘EMIT’ line after line, I’ll feed you my phobias if you’ve got the ‘TIME’"
He reads the Mail, ‘SNOOPS’ the pages in ‘SPOONS’
He ‘PEELS’ back the sheets to ‘SLEEP’ in his lonely room
He’ll barely ‘NAP’ and dream of his country down the ‘PAN’. "Foreign invaders high jacking his jobs and land"
A burka can change his ‘MOOD’ from happy to ‘DOOM’
Can’t you feel that the problem is you?
