Tories in red ties... Tories in blue ties... Tories in yellow ties... it’s all the same disguise!
lyrics
Greedy Bastards, Save Your Souls!
Lord Rothermere, has it not occurred to you
we may not want to be indoctrinated fools
patronising your disciples so dumb
but why should we succumb
to Tory voting scum?
who took the heart and soul
from a nation on the dole
you say that we'd be better
with the country in your hands
we don't think so!
decent people don't think so!
Greedy bastards, save your souls!
from the safety of your cosy country homes
Tories in red ties...
Tories in blue ties...
Tories in yellow ties...
it’s all the same disguise!
You took the heart and soul
from a nation on the dole
you say that we'd be better
with the country in your hands
we don't think so!
decent people know
you'll hang the redskins from the trees
with freedom and impunity
you'll close the borders, lock the doors
protect the empire, guard the shores
watch the blackshirts clench their fists
to stop the oiks and the communists
ignorance and hate prevails
invented by the Daily Mail

Another great album - dean wareham, joanna gruesome, lonely tourist, dorotea, the chills, manhattan love suicides & spearmint are all highlights but the whole lot is pretty darn great really martin kiosk
On their latest LP, the Austin group peel away the synth and distortion to highlight the jangly melodies at the core of their songs. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 9, 2022

This is an unbiased review. That being said...I fell in love with Beth Arzy's voice the first time I listened to Aberdeen. I could listen to Beth sing the instruction manual for a dishwasher. But I'm grateful she's surrounded by talented and totally capable band mates instead. I'd rate Misplaced Words 4.6 out of 5. And had a devil of a time picking a favorite track. Tomorrow I might pick a different one as they're all very good. My biggest complaint is the album is over way too quick. CEF121
