i knew a girl i didn’t know / then, everything was was beautiful / soon, every drink was fizzing flat / still she could dance for the thrill of it / for what it’s worth she tried to live/ tried to live among the parasites growing thin on baby fat / living life and living death / telling truth and telling lies / horror stories for lullabies / and when the past is wearing thin /she can just begin again / and so the girl is back again / as plain as day invisible / and though she said without a sound, she made a point impossible / though every dog is set to bite / and all the tongues are made to lash / a blinking eye can get escape / fixed in a light that starts to flash / there was a moment before the moment / before that time
2.	Working in the institution 02:42	lyrics	buy track
working in the institution / where’d you get your big ideas? / mind pollution’s their solution / it’s enough to drive the kids to tears / na na na na na forget yourself / working in the institution / they’re quick to steal a good idea / distraction gets the best extraction / it’s as far away as it is near / every time you dare to dream / another vulture sees the perfect place to perch upon your back / the early worm that turns to steal the fickle future / lines the pocket with a little of what’s left / forget yourself / working in the institution / yeah, where’d you get your big ideas?

The Talkies
by Gilla Band

Visceral and brut-iful soundscapes arranged as amazing songs, with wonderfully opaque lyrics - no pronouns! A band that manages to create records that are as intriguing and powerful as they are live. TV FACE
