The band called TV FACE are recording and releasing a single on the last Friday of every month of the year 2020. This is June's song.

Its a song about big buildings ... big men ...big deal.

lyrics

LYRICS

There's got a hole like a mouth
where the air's coming out
a gap where a stopper should fit
and there's a deflated crown
at the top of this top of this town
its eyes are rectangular slits
well the sentinel sits at the top of the place
looking down on his kingdom of crass
he knows its the end
but he fails to admit it
as he falls from the top of his class

he sees the death of his kind

to topple the crown there's a coup going down
oh his legs start to buckle and split
and to egg on the champs
there's the back pocket camp
whose lies are all polished in spit
is this war turning civil
with its rhetoric of drivel
as the pilot is stabbed in the throat
its a circus parade as his grip starts to fade
he's the pun and the entire joke

he sees the death of his kind

you move them all out to move them back in
you knock it all down and build it again
you dig a big hole and fill it back in
you get to the end and start it again

he's got a hole like a mouth where the air's coming out
he sees the death of his kind

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
