about

Third single taken from the debut album "The Cathode Ray.

lyrics

DISPERSAL

A THOUGHT OCCURED TO ME JUST THE OTHER DAY
NOTHING LASTS FOR LONG BEFORE YOU HAVE TO PAY
YOU KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT
AND I’VE JUST GOTTA SAY
YOU’VE GOT TO SEIZE THE MOMENT
BEFORE IT FADES AWAY

IT’S HERE ONE MINUTE, GONE THE NEXT
PUSHED TO THE LIMIT, FLOWN THE NEST
IT’S EVER FLEETING, EPHEMERAL
SO SELF DEFEATING, BUT MOST OF ALL

IT’S A DISPERSAL, DISPERSAL
EVERYTHING BECOMES FRAGMENTED
THE PARTY LINE’S BEEN CIRCUMVENTED
DISPERSAL, DISPERSAL
ALL YOU KNOW HAS BEEN INVERTED
THE STATUS QUO’S BECOME PERVERTED
DISPERSAL, DISPERSAL
ALL YOU KNEW HAS BEEN PREVENTED
THE GET OUT CLAUSE HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED

YOU USED TO LAUGH IN MY FACE, WHENEVER I SAID
A CHANGE IS MAKING HASTE, IT’S WHAT LIES AHEAD
NOTHING IS SET IN STONE, IT CAN ALL MELT AWAY
AND WHAT FELT SO PERMANENT
JUST ENDS IN DISARRAY

IT’S IN THE SMALL PRINT, WE OVERLOOK
IN THE FINER DETAIL. WHICH YOU MISTOOK
IT’S NEITHER MAKING UP, OR BREAKING DOWN
BUT IT WILL SHAKE YOU UP WHEN IT COMES AROUND
