Receiver

Taken from 'Horizons' by Horse Party CD/download album released 1st April 2016 on R*E*P*E*A*T Records Pre-order (with immediate download) at: www.horsepartyparty.bandcamp.com RECEIVER When I was on my way to recovery I was the eyes of a perfect storm Staring all things down As the oceans raged right in front of me I felt the pinnacle of function and form I saw your wife and kids playing family While I was driving to the corner shop When it all fell through So I called my mother from a Bakelite phone As the pinwheel started to dance She said, “I’ve got plans for you.” Why can’t a man or a woman choose solitude? Is it not enough to be the sum of your parts Nothing more, nothing less? Struck dumb by delusions of adequacy I was shackled to a life of success When the unstoppable force of austerity Meets an immovable object of desire My desire will cool Postcards from a blank infinity I will pick up the receiver and smile When they say, “I’ve got plans for you.” Song: Quigley Music: Hope/Langley/Quigley © 2015 Copyright Control Ellie Langley - guitar & vocals Seymour Quigley - guitar, bass & vocals Shannon Hope - drums Produced by George Perks and Horse Party Recorded at Punch Studios, Ipswich, UK Mixed by George and Seymour Mastered by Eric James at Philosophers Barn Cover art by Kate Wood Horizons by Horse Party R*E*P*E*A*T Records MBRR144 Distributed by Backs/Shellshock www.horsepartyparty.bandcamp.com
