We should have known, you're not an island but you're as closed as one
And all this time, I dream of nothing but I dream of all your flaws
And cut through concrete: A failed heart that's big enough for me to break it
We've always known, there are mountains hiding underneath us, hiding underneath us.
All this we'd hid, you're not an island but you're survived by sea
And all this time, although we played at love this heart has had enough of
The rats at the gates closing in and now he screams at all your neighbours
How could you know?
That there are mountains hiding underneath.
We should have seen, you're not an island but you're as closed as me
Of all things we'd said, you kept your friends held close but they have kept you closer
I cut through concrete: A failed heart that's broke enough for me to stop it
We've always known that there are monsters living in our beds.

For Empire

All that's left, not an island but a wreck for our time.
We were led to our farthest edge cut and cut adrift.
I was lost on my darkest days, the wolf claws at my feet.
I was building something to turn this boat around.
All that's left, not an empire but a state lost at sea.
If you'd have known would you call it home?
Oh how the land lies.
We were lost on our darkest days, the wolf curled at your feet.
I was hoping someone would turn this boat around.
All that's left, not an island but the wreck of our times.
I was building something to turn this boat around.

I came to map the sun and stars
But I can't find them in the dark
To navigate the ocean floor
I can't hold my breath much more
You sat and watched us as we slept
Standing guard above our beds
Whole of heart and wholly ours
Despite the fires all around
I came to map the ocean floor
But I can't hold my breath no more
I sat and watched you as you slept
Standing guard over your head
I would live another life
As soon as I am found myself
I came to map the sun and stars
Falling over in the dark

2018
by Mogwai
supported by 11 fans who also own “Sing With Abandon”
Was into Mogwai from the beginning with the pivotal Ten Rapid and 4 Satin, but the last Mogwai LP I bought was Mr Beast in 2006, so plenty new to me here, and lots of catching up to do! On 2018 Live, the last 4 tracks are where I'm at, I just love all of that feedback and distortion. From my collection of their first decade, the epic 20 minute My Father My King is my all time favourite - I have no idea if their releases after 2006 have yielded anything comparable... only one way to find out!...
