sleep can make a fever go dull
like fire pulled out on a string
a spark will send a man in shackles
from first breath to his final dream
read the pattern in the brick wall
stolen thoughts of awful things
a Lover’s Kiss, a Scientist’s Call
fill your nights with fevered dreams
=
a lover’s anvil
=
catch the shapes cast black by the light
an arm leads to a child’s hand
a ghost that only comes out at night
once a man, once a man
raise a hammer, lover of mine,
anvils, stakes, nails and chains
build a house to lay down inside
sleep and dream of falling rain
=
a lover’s anvil

The album is very good overall, hate to pick just one song, could easily have gone with Float The Flood or Jolt The Amplifier. For the uninitiated, their music seems influenced by Sleater/Kinney and Throwing Muses. Having seen them live recently, got a glimpse of some new material, definitely looking forward to more from them in the years to come :) pepc72
