lyrics
Benevolent Owl, is shining upon you
Benevolent Owl, guides you on your way
When you’re all on your own, unhappy and lonely
The Owl will stand tall in the night-time and hope he can make it ok.
He lives where you fell down, ordered chips and some coleslaw
Twirling your way, down the Old Kent Road
With sixty strong notes, and a dog in a horseshoe
The Owl will stand tall in the night-time and hope he can lighten the load.
The monstrous machine just carries on rolling
Sucking out life until you’ve got no soul, and
The only card you draw is more and more debt
Cos there’s nothing ever left in the community chest.
Building to the sky, and leaving cities hollow
It’s a bitter, evil pill for the rest of us to swallow
Tearing through play parks, empty flats for oligarchs
Cleansing, strangling, stifling, killing, killing killing…
You promised us hope, brought us nothing but locusts
Owl eyes full of greed, are haunting us now
“If you can’t pay the fare, then fuck off with the boatman”
Benevolent Owl is in charge and he just don’t want you in this town.
You promised us hope, brought us nothing but locusts
Owl eyes full of greed, are haunting us now
“If you can’t pay the fare, then fuck off with the boatman”
Benevolent Owl is in charge and he just don’t want you in this town.

Really enjoyed this album. A neat mix of The Cure with vocals from the Cranberries. With a little shoe gaze thrown in for good measure. A very pleasing mix that is worth the time. Favorite Track: Jonatan Lagnar
Amazing album, whether listening on headphones while working or blasting on the speakers on a Sunday, and fantastic fun watching them live! Paula Valenca
