Lyrics

Shakerley

In this town, there's a stain by the pub… it could be blood
In this town, fruit machines flash and steal all your cash
In this town, steel resolve rusts… ideas turn to dust


In this town, despair and disease are growth industries
In this town, every bus route is a Moebius loop
In this town, sirens harmonise… they’re our lullabies



Nowadays, anybody with a modicum of intellect feels pulverised and condemned by the empty white noise of information masquerading as knowledge.

Feeling isolated, in a society that serves no one but those above you, strangles the meaning out of life. 

Such a feeling destroys the rebellion escape clause.

Or creates an overwhelming desire…

To make it REAL.



Take me anywhere

Take me anywhere
Even to Shakerley or Shaftesbury, 
Shatterford or Shaftholm…
Anywhere

Take me anywhere
Even to Scunthorpe or Southport, 
Stockport or Stockholm…
Anywhere

But please, please, please…
Don't take me home
Take me anywhere

No, don't take me home
Take me anywhere
