The Six Fingered Hand - Live In London

[Spoken Intro]
So have you guys got like any energy left?
Yeah?
You got a big ball of energy just left?
You kept it in reserve, yeah?
Motherfuckers
This when to use it, this is called "Six Fingered Hand"

I remember when I was a kid
The past century seemed special
All the decades were lined up
Just like a set of coloured pencils
The Fifties, the Sixtiеs, the Seventiеs
Oh, they all looked so exotic
I was certain the years yet to come
Would be just as iconic

Now they've been and gone
What the hell went wrong?
Where were all the amazing designs?
Fashions and movements and signs of the times?
Looking at pictures of 2001
Makes it feel like we got nothing done

We're all afraid
Dried up and useless
Six fingered hand crushes our throats
Yeah, yeah

If you kidnapped a man from the nineties
And brought him back to the present day
I think he'd die from the sheer disappointment
Everything looks exactly the same

What a rip off
I always dreamt of musical happenings, like the punk bands, two tone, one of these
The only movement that I got caught up in was CDs to MP fucking threes
Braindead

Did we have all our ambition scared out of us or is it just that if all the stars are competition winners with fake tans and sob stories, why bother building rockets?

We didn't even fucking try
We didn't even try
They had The Beatles, we had 'The Coldplay sound'
They had The Pythons, we had The IT Crowd
Burnt out
I want my twenties back
Let down, beat up, I want my twenties back
Six fat fingers grip at my neck and make my heart beat slower
Goddammit

Slower
Slower
Slower
Slower
Yes
