1.
Dream when you’re grounded Let it breathe until you finally find it Hauled in a sell-out country Sleeping astounded Let it see you just like you always wanted Rain on there’s still sunshine there for everyone Dream when you’re hounded Let it breathe until you’ve finally found it Hauled in this sell-out century It doesn’t matter to me She said my is mine When you take.

Annah 03:37
Annah nothing’s ever going to change until you let in the summertime The dark can get a little strange so can I keep you from going astray by staying for just a little while Spread you like bedroom tile? Would you like to hear a voice come around the bend so you can put that noise to bed with something someone said So you can play pretend Annah nothing’s ever going to change until you let that summertime in Got to let all sorts of kind in

Legs of Wood 04:07
Run run run with your legs of wood Let your heart sing when it’s good Run run run with your legs of wood Let your heart sing like it should.

Badgod 03:00
My god is such a good god Shakes my head and never throws all of my time He breaks a leg for me He’s so kind kicking it back Says it helps keep the harm away Singing “I used to shine when I was king of everything” (alright) My life is such a good life Slaps my hand every time I try to take everything Well she’s holding out on me saying the weight will only break my back so I wait around and watch her choke on a cigarette Singing “You can shine in everything Don’t need to be no king of anything”.
5.
Ceremony serpent swims the Nile said put your head at ease here with mine and would you take on my headache? I would lock my head and slide Cos you seem happy all the time You seem happy all the time Yes you seem happy on the thyme All the time on the thyme.
6.
Poor Khali 02:01
Tall Sally poor Khali find all my pavement cares in a pile for a while every time before it goes So take a load off she said sort of I’m not sinking I’m just lazy Bite my head off when you show off but it’ll catch up with you sooner or later Before it goes.
7.
Headlight bedtime slip my mind Head high when I’m coming down Won’t be round for a long time Bedside lips will slip my mind Hillside when we step outside There when you’re body’s old and your age is cold You are me See? Will they pull your hair Will other people stare at you or me? Yea
8.
Before you rake your mind won’t you take your time. dorms await you there where no one ever really wants to talk about it. The lizard shakes his spine inside the wizard’s wine do pawns still hold a grudge? They’ll break what spilled you there’s no other way around it. And when you find you there no one ever really wants to talk about it.
9.
And when you take off don’t let everybody haunt you And if anybody asks you You just tell them that I said so They only really ever want you that’s all And when you walk in someone’s always doing the talking and if anybody asks you just tell them that I said so They only really ever want you too Soula Way down the Wichita all our friends are piling seems a lifetime since we’ve seen them all gathered there and smiling.
10.
I told you that I got your back and I won’t scold you ever If what I do should ever break that pact I’ll make it up to you forever Now there ain’t much that I can tell you after that cos you’re my only friend Well I fold you so that you don’t crack because I told you I too am clever But now I want you to only want you back So keep holding out for something better There ain’t nothing I can tell you after that cos you’re my only friend is why I’ll kill you last (dig it).

about

The Velvoids orbit a musical forefront with well crafted singles, EP, and LP releases that sound as fresh today as the day they were recorded. Their latest full length 'MOTHER' is a 10 track landscape that exists in its own space, digging deep down to deliver. Recorded following the the arrival of their newborn child, it combines a 10 day non-stop studio session with erratic home recordings, and sees its release amidst these strange times of the Coronavirus.
