about

Recorded and mixed at Foel Studios, Wales; Oct/Nov 1997

lyrics

Mother can you feel
How sluggish the blood is
That runs through your veins
How it clogs up your arteries
Poisons your body
And brings you closer
To a stop

Can you see how your garden
Has been taken from you
And turned into a place
Of poison
Stripped bare, torn down
Disregarded, burnt, worn out
Heated up, sucked dry
Masticated and spat out

We're walking on a tightrope
We're living on the edge
The ice is cracking beneath us
And we're slipping in
We're failing to learn
Failing to listen
Moving on with such speed
We can't see
What we've been missing

Your flowers won't grow
They've withered and died
And the grass is so thin now
The pond in the corner
Has been starved of air
And there's nothing
Living there anymore

Help us learn

We're choking on the air
We're burning from the sun
We need to find some shade now
But all the shade is gone
We can't live on barren ground
Mother won't you teach us
To listen to your songs
And to learn from your wisdom

Wob UK

Acoustic Country/folk Punk probably describes me best at the moment

"A spring heeled, iron lunged avalanche of energy and melody.
Wob's sound is a glorious and intelligent blend of punk, pop and folk."
