Dead Air​/​Abandon Ship

from Lit By Sparks by Villareal

/

about

'Dead Air/Abandon Ship' was, as they say a 'game of two halves'. Jim came up with the intro riff before I stole it and shaped into a lop-sided song. Trying to evoke Ride, Swervedriver and other shoegaze luminaries, this became one of our most-loved live tracks of that era.
Contains some of Ali Gavan's best ever Villareal drumming.

lyrics

Dead air bring the static
Sixty feet adrift
My defense automatic
And they wont see me and you wont see me but if they see me I'll just fade away

Last chance on the stairway
Half a word away
Summer bee's filled with violence
But they won't catch me and you won't catch me but if they catch me I'll just fade away

Abandon ship this class is dismissed
Abandon ship and make your last wish
