Nuclear Family

by Codist

supported by

Liam Menzies thumbnail
Liam Menzies The quintessential debut album: full of potential, gritty rifts and brimming with character. A whole range of influences can be felt from the get go with tracks screaming blue album era Weezer. A solid first step for the Glasgow band. Favorite track: Puddle.

Zamboni 03:06
The snow it hangs around like the guest you want to leave Outstaying it's welcome, turning up late to the party On these buses, only half the time you're going home Wondering if it is me that makes you feel alone Say what you need to say and say it fast I hope I get frostbitten and I hope it lasts Staying out all night with me will be a blast This blanket of white has been an eyesore all my life This stretch of road has been engrained in all I see It could be any road, there's nothing extraordinary I hope I'm not the one that's changing your family tree Altering the situation to a degree

Puddle 04:45
If you want me to try to give everything inside Like a coat in the sea, I'll just float on by But the moon has got your soul, but you already know That's why you can feel your insides glow Underwater, you can find all your friends So run towards them Underwater, all your favourite friends The tens out of tens If you want a rainy day, all you have to say Is "the flowers are looking for a change" And "the sky is too blue than what I'm used to" I bet I've got more time than you
3.
Locked up inside that weekend with nothing else to do Except the only thing that I really need to Constantly stalling, yawning, feeling like I misplaced concentration Pushing back the importance and pulling in the first thing that I can think of that isn't a headfirst dive into the mounting mountain that's become my obligations
4.
Take your decisions, all that you've made There's no use for them so put them away Just take them upstairs among the rust They're obsolete and gathering dust Isn't it fun when time is misplaced All of our plans are all over the place Now it's redundant and we worked so hard Isn't it fun when we're back at the start
5.
I can't wash you off my skin Because you've never really been anywhere near it Because I never told you when our paths would cross again But not by coincidence, it's got nothing to do with chance Just an irrational fear of romance
6.
The doctors seem to hide something Before you know, you feel nothing And it's the same, it's day to day A single flash and we're away And we can't stand to be alone But all our plans have been postponed And even though it's all you've known No one is truly on their own Under the lights that they advise I'm real and I never wanna change And all their eyes, the silver prize The times of the day are rearranged Anyway it's okay, celebrate my birthday Blow out all the candles on my own I don't wanna force you, altering your world view Wrap me up and take me home
7.
Dirt 03:46
Things just might be fine after all this time Watching for a sign, you might change your mind You know just what to say to make it seem like it's okay I'm trying to keep pretending to sleep And all the other things are dirt now We've got this one down, not long to go now We might get some rest if my thoughts will allow Going strong, we're past the point where we think we should sing that song
8.
Indian summers are the worst of our lives The sunshine it fucks with our will to survive Can't use our own lungs, we use eachothers We blind ourselves with promises to discover Lines upon lines of unwritten rules Never called into effect and never approved The text in bold is what you want to follow How can I tell that today is tomorrow You wanna go out of control I wanna go home You look so alive Indian summers are the worst of our lives Keep all the heat in the Junes and Julys
9.
Every time I brave the rain and pave A way to these bickering outlaws There's no need for further description The laws have changed since back in those days And the place is sobering up now The same frames but a new prescription Don't break like they told you Just wait, this will hold true A permanent file, the emerald isle The things that you found on my wish list When we're talking inside cones it's void again A group of folk in a cloud of smoke This could only mean one thing And every memory from back then To tell you the truth, the fountain of youth Is nothing but tonics and lotions And frontal lobes and nerves and holding on
