giving lesser politics from the other power tricks did you want its muscular whisper if you heave the happy tears crying momentary shivers with a valedictory handshake cheer up, angie laugh at bland and jelly lips in the heart of abacus winters tune the dozen brittle twigs to the anesthetical pitches when you asked me for a glass filled with nightmare swarming asps i didn’t know you twinned connections spoken tennis elbow clasp and a tiny shattered skull take the pills and kill the exchequer cheer up, angie
2.
holding a scepter and blowing metal vanes murder by musket and blade siege the pretenders in bloody hurricanes throbbing with unnatural light you sit there lying to yourself chanting a civil auditor my baby’s walking down the avenue her tribal eyes are bleeding my baby’s walking down the avenue with rival tantric feelings lance and subdue freezing hollow metal knights island of violent gauls dropping detectives in the naked lantern light vanish through bullet squalls
3.
silk dresses and watches and worn knives conventional feel i was miscast as some quicksand molasses in heels get outta here with your quick rapport telepathy whore black armistice curdling native blood identical proof on behalf of the senate i offer you decomposed leather cloaks with a sequine talisman hothouse court enceladus haunts
4.
with a butterfly in her hair riding shotgun in garments fair the ability to metamorphose into contracts senses shrewd but not alike i took out my pen in a fetish repose contemplated my morals wearing barrier clothes a miasmic intent stripped of earthly white rose scraping tentacle lies from her eyes’ royal floes i still believe in consenting lust you wouldn’t say that you blew the rust the ability to metamorphose into contracts calm refusal of a photograph of your bare back
5.
The sun stood up to scorch the massive capstan cradle berth

touch her seventy splits talk about the bones crack the jug and let it sit straightened chemicals don’t replace the candle light with agnostic slaves lying in the afternoon bathed in antifreeze sit upon the hammered rocks don’t forget the sister fox trimming barrel staves of oak drink the water rifle smoke tangled shrubs leave summer sun in the earth as nimbus hums mountains bleed the proud eunuch remember all your hats country cotton spats place the rounded peg into mud decay rise up to defend credit spayed captions
7.
i get the business oh, oh, oh taking me back take me back to youth the mistress coughed in double time in trees dismount provincial soul backwater love she gulped it down explosions bring the ringing fear in letters writ succumbed to years a rigid boat across the trysts tranquility will overcome in poisons lay a latent saccharinity

turn around on eight graces flagellation honey god is calling heralded knaves sparrow wings flap in march time truly chaste and supine sleeping children animal flesh princely aberrations beauty female principle lines economic shutters balanced ghosts unsleeping married mumbling formula crones mississippi fatalist humans stupid and bloody attenuation harbour light the candles one at a time vanquish all the diseases renounce your custom bodies join the harem vomiting sex
9.
defeating insufficient roles enduring the lust sober and cold i took a picture of crumbling crypts disapprobation of hollering speech the heritage of pure despair the calculations travel up to trap me detach the plate and cover the pot trust the jury innocence cry country of men glinting through teeth solid beams of iron erupt you drank the lemonade in tears crudely dispensed with catholic locks the untenable ivory spears square dance in air changeable plots the heritage of pure despair the calculations travel up to trap me
10.
hold on, hold me tight, don’t stop stars lost, danger shock, don’t stop thickening burning flesh, panic hostile excercise just take my hand, hold on saturn seqeunce start, cold air vital waxen face, white hair thickening burning flesh, panic hostile excercise

about

Ever the oblique and obtuse lyricist, LeGroulx’s thrown every remaining idiosyncratic lyric he has left in his notebook into one album. On “Get Outta Here (With Your Quick Rapport)” he sings of being “miscast as some quicksand / molasses in heels”; on “Flagellation Honey” he commands us to “vanquish all the diseases / renounce your custom bodies / join the harem vomiting sex”. Funny then, that the record’s most striking and memorable lyric is also its most direct and emotional: “Just take my hand, hold on” he instructs on “Hold On, Don’t Stop” with a commanding, almost fatherly tone of authority. It’s a fitting closing on this chapter of his career.

The points in the music where LeGroulx and Jarvis partially emerge from the sludge is when the music becomes unexpected. “The sun stood up to scorch the massive capstan cradle berth” is the kind of earnest that Deep Joy is, only the sludge comes in so late in the song that it’s like it was there since the beginning. “You drank the lemonade in tears” reverberates with a punk energy that would almost make this one a road trip song.
