Distorted, cut-up lyrics barely surface above bass on the edge of breakdown. Slide guitar riffs and keyboards flanged to the point of no return.

Inspired by Mark E Smith

Tripwire!

If you’ve only seen the handwriting, imagine the hands
Quite strong, but often clumsy, with a single ring
Thin and wrinkled
Face is worse


Tripwire! Tripwire!

White crap let loose in studio – venue – off licence

How to relax, after a hard day of not being bothered?
Detail paramount in global assessment
Side effect: Meaning: obvious – obtuse – obscure – secure
Security abused

Troops must stay immobile

Tripwire! Tripwire!

Priest-sidekick kidnap and there’s war all over
Harry’s shop was flattened in the blast

Troops must stay immobile

Tripwire!

1,2, many, 38, 45, 882, imaginative numbers

He knows the disco milestones
Exempt from the ranks of the mediocre

Troops must stay immobile

Tripwire! Tripwire!

Resembles Burton's dummy, circa 1985
Fire damaged - melted head
