1.	The Carcass Is Dry 06:32	lyrics
Following A pretty sound Wolf packs Divide Jump ship Draw swords Cross streams Collide Pick from A bag of bones The carcass Is dry Following A pretty sound Drawing Flies Drawing Flies Drawing Flies Shuffling feet led deep underground Never be short of a king or a clown Hum of the mind scan warming up Well now you're awake One for the enemy lying in wait One for the thieves who take what they take Centuries later stealing our fate Now you're awake
2.	Couldn't Keep His Mouth Shut 03:42	lyrics
He's alright He never runs a light Couldn't catch his breath so He starts crying He's alright He's fucken dynamite Couldn't catch his breath so Please stop crying
3.	UP! 03:26	lyrics
Shook the cobwebs From my head Way back when See how well you fuck this UP! Twist and pike Please the judges Triple flip In budgie smugglers Belly flop like cement Hit the pokies And pay ya rent See how well you fuck this UP!
4.	Murder Hollow 05:27	lyrics
With a windy whisper Flying overhead Shadows appearing Couldn't take what was said Ringing bells and singing Wherever she went Kicking the dirt back To cover her scent Black claws distended So the veins pop out Applies her poison As he thrashed about Showing fine expression As he lay so still The poor old devil Took so long to kill Dogs Bite
5.	Bed Bugs 03:09	lyrics
Demons beneath your bed Only a little kid They went away? They never leave Demons beneath your bed Only way to beat them is They eat their own kind They eat their own Lie flat and hide your face
6.	Inherit the Wind 03:47	lyrics
Paid good money To see it DEAD Lash yourself to the mast Fill these boots with rocks Was in rags at the time Took a look through the keyhole Paid good money To see it DEAD But the show's over now folks Risks are risks But we try To hurt no one
7.	Lego Men 10:52	lyrics
Freeze them out Block the way Eat them Eat them Laugh and wheeze One eye closed Too sick too Snakes chase Snakes chase Let them be But I aint Worth your weight Never Never Not people Just flesh Only little lego men Little lego men One eye open Too sick too Snakes chase Snakes chase Let them be Now you forget it

about

DEAD, Melbourne, Australia's bass-and-drums dynamic duo of dirge, tunneled through the earth's core to go all Stateside on your ass with some seriously heavy, stripped-to-the-bone, trip-to-the-brain noise rock. Their latest LP Idiots is the real raw deal, a rough-hewn hybrid of sludge and ultra-heavy post-punk with bouts of down-under swagger and experimentation that captures the eyeball-shaking live attack of two blokes with little man syndrome punching way above their weight. Idiots lures you in with a long lost-in-the-funhouse intro only to bludgeon you with blunt-force bass bursts on repeat. What follows is a sour trip through primitive grooves part stripped-down Karp-like hooky sludge rock, part overloaded Pink Flag-era Wire riffs; menacing creepers that conjure lost movements to Bauhaus's “The Three Shadows” left long in the dark to grow old and scary as shit; full-bore rhythm section assaults of jacked-up metal chops; and heavy psychedelic licks and soundscapes. The crystal-clear recording of live takes with few overdubs puts you right in the room with DEAD, albeit likely cowering in the corner by the time the long, slow dirge closes the record. It's okay, you can come out now... just don't be an idiot.
