    The 12" Vinyl version of our 2021 album "Better Ways To Love & Offend". Pressed onto black vinyl.

    The new material by Zen Baseballbat is a slap in the face, a wake-up call to rip us from the stasis we’ve ghosted into since the recession and Brexit took hold. We can’t go forward, can’t go back so we might as well just sit and watch the bombs fall.

    Please note the cover art may be slightly different to the image on display.

lyrics

(I'm not a shirker
A scrounger
A begger
Or a thief)

Rub me up in a rub a dub style
I ain't met a girl in a little while

Why do I always end up
In a place like this?

Tucked up in the wrong end of business
Like when Paul Simon got a whiff full of Widnes

Why do I always end up
In a place like this?

My choice of words
Hardly complimentary
Don't blame my boogie
On the blonde or Buckowski

Why do I always end up
In a place like this?

A dose of clap from a stand up comic
I'm itching for a chat and a beat-up sonnet

Why do I always end up
In a place like this?

Eyes on me in a murder style
A botox smile pretty volatile

Why do I always end up
In a place like this?

Nose pushed out by the hideous truth
Within bombing range of flattered youth

Why do I always end up
In a place like this?

Biology laid bare
Bodily functions everywhere

Why do I always end up
In a place like this?

Dressed head to toe in anniversary
Is everybody here in the mood, but me

Why do I always end up
In a place like this?

(I'm not a shirker)

Why do I always end up
In a place like this?

(A scrounger)

Why do I always end up
In a place like this?

(A begger)

Why do I always end up
In a place like this?

(Or a thief)

Why do I always end up
In a place like this?

Why do I always end up
In a place like this?

Why do I always end up
In a place like this?

Why do I always end up
In a place like this?

Why do I always end up
In a place like this?
