about

It's tuneful, it's surly, it's hopeful and noisy, and probably one of the best things we've done.

'Blame!' is about the misdirection we're subject to daily by politicians, tabloid media, shady intellectuals and faceless corporations, all looking to shift responsibility and get us pointing fingers at each other instead. Let's not do that, let's look out for each other, eh? Peace, FoH xx

lyrics

Lyrics:

Blame, blame the pen that scraped the page
Blame, blame the feet that trod the stage
Blame the chord that strummed for stringing us along
Before the golden age

Blame, blame the guns and their gauge
Blame the strikers and the barely living wage
Blame those human rights for tying up The Hague
Before the golden age

It seems you have me at a disadvantage
You’re the sage, the mage, it’s such a privilege
But it’s pretty bold to claim you’re a romantic
You’re the genius who unlocked the tiger’s cage

So we blame the lost fish and his withered fin
Blame all the rubbish and the overflowing bins
Blame the drummer and his din
But don’t blame the state we’re in
For the golden age
 
We’re looking at a future that’s uncertain
As the headlines shift like spirits in the haze
Pay no attention to the crew behind the curtain
Pulling levers as the oil runs down their face

One kisses his Saint Christopher which tarnishes black
And a voice declares the traveller is come
Two raises her gold crucifix which hisses into steam
Just like the ploughshares that they’re melting down for guns

They clean up their reputations on the dirtiest shows
And the audience forgets on cue
The editor cuts to the infinite feed
And we wonder why we’re so confused

Blame! Blame! Blame! Blame!

Blame every word said in rage
Blame every word said in rage
Blame every word said in rage
Blame every word said in rage

Wooh x 8
