Lyrics
do you feel the way you hate?
do you hate the way you feel?
always closer to the flame
ever closer to the blade
yeah
i am poison crazy lush
built these hands to lift me up
we are servants to our formulaic ways
i’m screaming daisies
from 14 miles away
i’ve got my own time
got it all today
make
up your mind
need some help
to find this mind, mind, mind
limbo this and limbo that
you were this and you were that
ever know that what you fear is what you find
this indian summer
i signed my life away
there’s a greedy fly in here
and i fly away
make
up your mind
need some help
to find this mind, mind, mind
mind, mind, mind, mind
make
up your mind
need some help
to find this mind, mind, mind
mind, mind….

Band Thoughts:
‘you invite thing into your life; you know, that we are all ’servants of out formulaic ways’- Gavin
“make up your own mind.”- Robin
(talking about the noise solo in Greedy fly)”Oh, yeah, that was the result of a Mutron 69 pedal, I think. Just a big and nasty solo through the Fender, a kind of rattling and struggling thing that I put together and Steve helped me with. The idea was to make it nasty, like a big old fly. Steve and I were the only ones who liked that solo loud-everyone else seemed to think it was a bit too much”- Nigel
“We spend a lot of time trying to get all the parts right. The idea is to get everything right before we go into the studio, rather than sitting in the studio and going, ‘ummm.’ One exception is the intro to ‘Greedy Fly,’ which came to us just as we were about to record. I was trying it on a run-through and we said, ‘Oh. Okay. Let’s do that.’”- Nigel
Staff Thoughts:
“It has that essence of the 16stone hits, but with a new vibrant twist. So it’s not quite the same, but I still love it. It’s its own.”- Laura
“It’s a really creepy song,like film noir. It’s certainly directed at Bush haters worldwide. Take that haters!”-Brandyn
