The Six Fingered Hand - Live In London

Lyrics

[Spoken Intro] So have you guys got like any energy left? Yeah? You got a big ball of energy just left? You kept it in reserve, yeah? Motherfuckers This when to use it, this is called "Six Fingered Hand" I remember when I was a kid The past century seemed special All the decades were lined up Just like a set of coloured pencils The Fifties, the Sixtiеs, the Seventiеs Oh, they all looked so exotic I was certain the years yet to come Would be just as iconic Now they've been and gone What the hell went wrong? Where were all the amazing designs? Fashions and movements and signs of the times? Looking at pictures of 2001 Makes it feel like we got nothing done We're all afraid Dried up and useless Six fingered hand crushes our throats Yeah, yeah If you kidnapped a man from the nineties And brought him back to the present day I think he'd die from the sheer disappointment Everything looks exactly the same What a rip off I always dreamt of musical happenings, like the punk bands, two tone, one of these The only movement that I got caught up in was CDs to MP fucking threes Braindead Did we have all our ambition scared out of us or is it just that if all the stars are competition winners with fake tans and sob stories, why bother building rockets? We didn't even fucking try We didn't even try They had The Beatles, we had 'The Coldplay sound' They had The Pythons, we had The IT Crowd Burnt out I want my twenties back Let down, beat up, I want my twenties back Six fat fingers grip at my neck and make my heart beat slower Goddammit Slower Slower Slower Slower Yes
