The Indelicates

▶ #TheIndelicates - SavagesThe flame in your eye could burn the world if it were to escapeAnd the love in your heart is the kind of love they write epic verse aboutAnd darlin’ you know,You know that you’re better than thisDarlin’ you know,You know you are better than thisBut we are ash and we are booksCoffee-stained and overlookedWe are ornamental swordsForged for the peace after the warAnd the world has no needof the songs than we sangWe are savages, you and I, and we willHang, hang, hang.The tear on your cheek will fall ignored by the suckers to fake romanceAnd the hope in your heart will be dashed on the shore of this deadly islandDarling you knowThat there’s no place for usWe’ll build and we’ll sweatBut there’s no place for usNo Ithaca no homeWe are Greeks in the age of RomeWith no right to criticiseThe happily dull, to Grecian eyesAnd the world has no needof the songs that we sangWe are savages, you and I, and we willHang, hang, hang.The sweat on your brow shall be disdained, shunned and deodorizedAnd the will of your heart shall spoil in the heat of a new worldAnd darlin you knowYou know we’re better unheardDarlin you knowYou know we’re better unservedThe Brave new futures we have seenFilled with beautiful machinesGreener pastures, clearer skiesAnd not one such as you or IAs the dust shall settle sweetlyon the songs that we sangWe are savages you and I,And we will Hang, hang, hangHang, Hang, Hang.

They try very hard but they're the musical equivalent of a badly written souvenir programme for some tumble down Norman castle that pretends to have historical value but doesn't.

What an underrated band. I think a lot of people could relate to this if they just gave it a chance. "But we are ash and we are books, coffee stains and overlooked. We are ornamental swords forged for the peace after the war. And the world has no need of the songs that we sang. We are savages, you and I and we will hang, hang, hang." Simply beautiful.
