Snake 03:48
My baby is a snake Likes to hiss at me at night Likes to slink around Dancing in the moonlight Here comes the thunder the rain on my side You know, their souls on fire Makes me feel alright Says hi, says hi, say hi, say hi Everyone's telling me I've got rocks in my mind I don't really care It's so wicked and out of sight Black rimmed glasses Brown suit and a tie Dancing with a snake Will kill you In time In your mind My baby's so smooth You can see them in the sun Their moving real, real slow now Got me on the run Watch them slither and slide Framed like a picture They've got their eyes on you Drinking in their mixture Says hi, says hi, say hi, say hi Everyone's telling me I've got rocks in my mind I don't really care It's so wicked and out of sight Black rimmed glasses Brown suit and a tie Dancing with a snake Will kill you In time In your mind

I Hate Hate 03:19
I Hate Hate Get that evidence out of my sight Professor we must disinvite You are wrong but I don't know why I'm right Won't someone bubblewrap my brain To isolate me from the pain My concrete bubble cracks from strain Ooh I hate Hate Speech Ban it I hate it. I hate hate It’s not free speech when you say it Your nano-aggression I can’t stand It hurts my feelings. Must be banned Cease and desist order in hand Welcome to my opinion of truth Verbal violence killing youth Outrage Industrial Complex - whoo! Ooh I hate Hate Speech Ban it I hate it. I hate hate It’s not free speech when you say it Vacuate the lie-brary We declare Word War Three Enlightenment - way too bright for me Freedom from speech Is within our reach Let's take the slippery slide to tyranny Whee! I'm outraged I'm outraged I'm outraged I'm outraged Ooh I hate Hate Speech Ban it I hate it. I hate hate I love free speech when you can’t say it

Strapped to the bed yelling. Is there anyone out there. I need someone please help Can anybody save me? I didn't know where I was or why the bed was situated high up on the ceiling and it was hot tight belts secured me to. Raised up on stilts, ceiling. What am I doing here, floating? Like accumulated, vapour. Drifting away aimless. Drifting away aimless. Can anybody save me? I didn't know where I was or why the bed was situated high up on the ceiling and it was hot tight belts secured me to. I didn't know where I was or why the bed was situated high up on the ceiling and it was hot tight belts secured me to. Hey there, anyone. Won't someone help me. I neeeed Somebody to save me I didn't know where I was or why the bed was situated high up on the ceiling and it was hot tight belts secured me to. I didn't know where I was or why the bed was situated high up on the ceiling and it was hot tight belts secured me to. The bed The bed The bed

Between 50 min and an hour Pulse of electrical energy Rolling through with you on a contact high Might be a shock to the system if it's very strong Don't worry it will be alright Might want to sit down or head straight to the dance floor Don't drink any alcohol Be on the safe side Do you feel warm and floaty You know you’re on it Perception of things leaves your head clean Everything seems unique clarity of mind Insight vision tactile sensors heightened Perspective shift Minutes of space and time Feelings of empathy and understanding You may want to dance Sit down look at the carpet or hug a friend It is probably fairly different a lot of the time Dancing all night gurning your nuts off on speedy pills Get MDMA pill say Man Bunk pill I just can't dance to this 360, bpm gabbo psycho hardcore you know the score metal fusion techno and then dump a half weight of speed to compensate

I'm a manic child with a brain full of strychnine I like to fly so high I come down with a crash I like an evil woman who's just like a witch girl But I keep it in the files of the FBI You know I keep it in the files of the FBI Plastic fantastic is so static I got black in my soul don't want to be alone But now I'm wah hoo back for more, back for more you know I'm whaa hoo back for more, back for more Some times I wonder why I get so fucking bored I hate people motivated by things overrated That style of rock roll that leaves me so cold But I keep it in the files of the FBI You know, I keep it in the files of the FBI Wrapped fashion Plastic passion But now I'm whaa hoo back for more, back for more, you know I'm whaa hoo back for more, back for more whaa hoo back for more, back for more you know I'm whaa hoo back for more, back for more C'mon girl let's get out of hear C'mon baby it's got to be clear Ow back for more Back for more

The curve of your back is evenly supported Fingers massaging down your spine Buttocks held firm your head is cradled Your feet are grounded on the floor Either side your hands held secure Swivel round for a differed view From any direction, you will be encouraged Feeling relaxed and at ease I know I'm Safe here with you Lush lime green carpet and design Brown chairs glass windows and tiled floors Soft green plastic grass The skyline is filled with water and glass The curve of your back is evenly supported Fingers massaging down spine Buttocks held firm your head is cradled Feet are grounded on the floor Either side your hands held secure Swivel round for a differed view From any direction, you will be encouraged Feeling relaxed and at ease I know I'm Safe here with you Yeah safe here with you Safe here with you Safe here with you

about

It’s been 10 years since their last album and they’re back from outer-space: tougher, wilder and sharper than ever. Snake sees ROCKET SCIENCE at the height of their powers, charged with a cosmic energy born of a unique alignment between four exceptional musicians. A truly collaborative work, recorded by the band’s guitarist Paul Maybury. Mixing improvised moments with post-punk, garage, space rock and dark imagery. The songs reflect a decaying post-postmodern world, that is both self-destructive and in denial.
