The River

The night held the moon like a headless ghost
I'm peering out through the prison bar trees
I held my breath when the dogs got close
And then I fell to my knees
Take me to the river, show me a forgiver
The world is a deceiver, show me a redeemer
Wade into the waters all you sons and daughters
Swallowing a shiver, down into the river
C'mon and wash me down
The priest is sweating underneath his robes
He stung his hands in the honeybone tree
He chose his moment in the cedar grove
He took the bullet with his hand on my knee
Take me to the river, show me a forgiver
I'm trapped inside a fever, won't you show me a redeemer
Wade into the waters all you sons and daughters
Swallowing a shiver, down into the river
C'mon and wash me down
Two by two the village fathers protect us
From the world's devils all sent to infect us
They say, Jesus came to sanctify all hurts
But all I see is eight beady eyes looking up my skirts
Skirts, hips, skinnybone ribs
Shoulders, breasts, the starched white dress
Flowing now, floats out wide
Echoes the moon, the great white eye

Get out of this one baby, get out alive
Now that the party's over, it's there in your eyes
Speaking in tongues and kisses, but now can't cool down
All of the conversation is bringing you down
Get out of this one sweetness, you're not even near
All of the conversation, you're feeling the fear
I'm not the one you wanted but I'm the one you've got
All of the conversation, are you coming or not?
Someone, someone, someone
I really need you, I need somewhere to rest
My head upon your breast, please take me back
We jerk through the CCTV, we're mouthing the lines
All through the silent precinct she misses the signs
Get out of this one, you'll never get free from me
We kiss in the neon hallway, I'm turning the key
Someone, someone, someone
I don't need you, I just need a place to prise
The light from out of your eyes, please take me back
The sun comes and this is all I am

These Are Our Demands Oxford, UK
Keeping things sparse, fast & loud, 'These Are Our Demands' are a post punk/newwave trio who love Joy Division, Pixies, The Smiths, Nirvana, The Cure, Savages, Interpol etc along with a load of more obscure (or embarrassing) bands. We love a melody you can whistle, but we also love a fuzzbox set to strip paint. We will sweat for you! ... more
