[Video] Fucked up / Do you feed

Fucked up - Do you feed (2011)

Earlier this year, around the same time they released their massive rock opera David Comes To Life, Fucked Up also dropped a companion piece called David’s Town, a fake compilation in which the band portrayed a number of different era-specific fictional British punk bands. One of those tracks, “Do You Feed” (credited to fake band Animal Man) now has a video, in which Fucked Up guitarist Ben Cook tries out his British accent and goes on a date with Fucked Up bassist Sandy Miranda. It’s really cute! [#]

[Canzoni di ieri] Killing Joke / Love like blood

Killing Joke - Love like blood (1985)

We must play our lives like soldiers in the field
But life is short i'm running faster all the time
Strength and beauty destined to decay
So cut the rose in full bloom

'til the fearless come and the act is done
A love like blood, a love like blood

Everyday through all frustration and despair
Love and hate fight with burning hearts
'til legends live and man is god again
(and self-preservation rules the day no more)

We must dream of promised lands and fields
That never fade in season
As we move towards no end we learn to die
Red tears are shed on grey

I want you to stay
Far away, you sway
You’ll stay, if it’s not too late
You stay

For a minute I was wondering if you’d come
For a minute I was wondering if you’ll come around
I’ve got a favour to ask but you’ve already done so much

You climb the stairs, unsatisfy
To your wins, and to your lie
There’s never been so much to fake
There’s never been so much to fake

For a minute I was wondering if you’d come
For a minute I was wondering if you’ll come around
I’ve got a favour to ask but you’ve already done so much
