Kind Of Fascination

Shriekback · Other Songs - Shriekback

Always striving with the elbows, always moving from the knees

Building up and demolition, both burn up some energy

Take it in and shit it out, six foot down and still descending

Grab a shovel - celebrate - only got what we don't need



In the wake of predecessors, all inherited responses

Are all in the movie now getting colder all the time

Starting to regard the prison with a kind of fascination

Facing up to history: facing what we do not need



We can get what - we don't need

We can get what - we don't need

We can leave what - we can't eat

We can leave what - we can't eat



Doing damage to ourselves, belated action of the past

A perversion of tradition and we carry on the line

There are dead things lying round, they offend but stay unburied

We are cinema for now, only cinema for now



We can get what - we don't need

We can leave what - we can't eat

We can leave what - we can't eat



Coming out the other end, a sentimental point of view

We can contemplate each other but the other is no fool

We are in this anyway, breathing in what you breathe out

Couldn't think of nothing better, only got what we don't need

Only got what we don't need



Doing damage to ourselves, belated action of the past

A perversion of tradition and we carry on the line

There are dead things lying round, they offend but stay unburied

We are cinema for now, only cinema for now

Only cinema for now



We can get what - we don't need

We can leave what - we don't eat

We can get what - we don't need

We can leave what - we don't eat

We can get what - we don't need

We can leave what - we don't eat

We can get what - we don't need

We can leave what - we don't eat



We can get what - we don't need // We can leave what

We can leave what - we don't eat // - we can't eat

We can get what - we don't need // We can leave what

We can leave what - we don't eat // - we can't eat



We can get what - we don't need

We can get what - we don't need

We can leave what - we can't eat

We can leave what - we can't eat

We can get what - we don't need

We can get what - we don't need

We can leave what - we can't eat

We can leave what - we can't eat

We can get what - we don't need
