about

A Local Landmark, no Less.

lyrics

The Wilderness could Cling to You Like John Muir's Aborted Fetus,
And Granite does Nothing to Console now my Senses ain't the Keenest.
What was Once a Cement Quarry has become a Toxic Crater,
Fill it Up with Milk and Urine and Come back 9 Months Later.

WELL IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE BLEAKEST WINTER THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN,
SEAWEED, MOSS AND ISOTOPES CONFORM TO RED RAW CLEAN.
SURELY THE ONLY LOGICAL RESPONSE TO.....

the call of Torness, the call of Torness.

The Holidaymakers all go Home but their Silhouettes are still in the Sands,
Burned into the Pavement Cracks where the Waltzers meet the Wasteland.

WELL IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE BLEAKEST WINTER THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN,
SEAWEED, MOSS AND ISOTOPES CONFORM TO RED RAW CLEAN.
SURELY THE ONLY LOGICAL RESPONSE TO.....

the call of Torness, the call of Torness.

The Sands were Shifted Long ago one August Afternoon,
The Caravan Sites and Disco Lights Vanished all too Soon,
Now no one can hold their Drinks past 10 and Everyone has got Dentures,
The Calcium is Sucked straight from your Bones at Uranium's Leisure.

WELL IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE BLEAKEST WINTER THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN,
SEAWEED, MOSS AND ISOTOPES CONFORM TO RED RAW CLEAN.
SURELY THE ONLY LOGICAL RESPONSE TO.....

the call of Torness, the call of Torness.

I don't mean to Digress, Not trying to Impress....

Really Cool Stuff! Easy to get Lost in These Songs - They are Full of Strange/Moody Sound Choices and Instrument/Beat/Melody Switch-Ups. Somewhere between Euphoria and Unease... Cod O'Donnell
