about

Recorded in 1985 onto 8-track analogue at Lion Studios, Leeds
All songs music & words by P.Slater

lyrics

Down in the corner
I don't hear you complain
Are you suffering the silence
With a dozen brandies in your hand?
I better run and hide forever
I'll set to sea for good
(you come home in the stormy weather)
Like every good sailor, sailor, sailor should

Is this Sunken Vince in you?
How is this song convincing you?
Is this Sunken Vince in you?
But I'm no good at all

Primeval clatter
Shatters your dumdum territory
But if my hearts a stone as you say
Then it's a real hearts throw 'tween you and me
Take it while it's given
Give in or its gone
No hope while you're living
(No-one you know lives for very long)

Is this Sunken Vince in you?
How is this song convincing you?
How is this song convincing you?
That I'm no good at all
Is this Sunken Vince in you?
Just bringing out the sphinx in you
How is this song convincing you?
But I'm no good at all

I try to hide from every part of me
Still my breath and I collide with regularity
I'm sifting for advice through a suitcase full of nones
Well it ends up triple nice
With fifteen thousand thousand tons

Well it's better than a promise
And it's better to pretend
In this battle raging forest
I'm staring at your friends
They got subways full of Trojans
They tap everybody's fear
But if they rattle my pagoda
There's going to be no-one, no-one left to hear

Is this Sunken Vince in you?
How is this song convincing you?
Is this Sunken Vince in you?
But I'm no good at all
Is this song convincing in you?
Just bringing out the sphinx in you
How is this song convincing you?
But I'm no good at all

Is this song? (is this song?)
How is this song? (is this song?)
How is this song?
But I'm no good at all
ALL ......
Well I'm no good at all
ALL ......
I'm no good at, I'm no good at all
No good at all
No good at all
But I'm no good at, I'm no good AT ALL
