Raise A Laugh

from Hidden Hips by The Young Shaven

about

"A street slice of verse over a dark surf riff, and with its rascally melody and relentless drum and bass groove instantly becomes a dancy bombastic exercise in exorcism, having no use for middle eights it instead relies on the space created by the instruments to create drive and atmosphere executed beautifully in the hands of Mr. Button, oh and the video is good too." Dabang Mehmet, Back To The Video

lyrics

My ten gods will forgive your one
meter's on
think it over son
my ten gods will forgive your one
it's a pardon born of
oblivion
seven demons lighter
since the priest has left my cell
Will your one god just forgive my ten?
take your time
mull it over, friend
Will your one god just forgive my ten?
It's a pardon born of
oblivion
seven demons lighter
since I left that job in sales
I had a dream
I resisted myself
I had a dream
I embraced myself
I had a dream
I resisted myself
I was the toughest gentleman
in the room
down on the streets, there are
outstretched hands
some hold kids
and some hold instruments
down on the streets, there are
outstretched hands
left the hoof
and the talisman
and the change it jingles on my hip. bone
like some tambourine
those who die young
well the gods love them
Alexander and Lot
yeah the gods love them
but those with us
they are young shaven
those with us
they are young shaven!
raise a laugh (raise a laugh)
this too will pass
as will we
as will we
