    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.

lyrics

I dope myself on books
And the pleasure and the pain
Of her good looks
I gave up my flat for her
She said it wouldn't work
Because of her work
Modernity
Lies dead in the fridge
The overnight parties
Were average
Scratching like a stray at the play
Entertainment is taking her away

I need a whole new body of blood
Don't stamp on my stammer
Don't oppress me, love
I need a whole new body of blood
Don't stamp on my stammer
Don't oppress me, love

This amphibious bather
She's costing me a bomb
Drowning out my chorus
Pampered in
Pop Babylon
She no longer likes
The music that I play
Her undisputed career
Is tinnitus in my ear

I need a whole new body of blood
Don't stamp on my stammer
Don't oppress me, love
I need a whole new body of blood
Don't stamp on my stammer
Don't oppress me, love

She's a hard up lover in boots
Frogmarching me
From the bedroom to the bathroom
She's a hard up lover in boots
Fumigating me with outbursts of perfume
She donates wealthy insults
To her chosen charity
I'm target practice
For her pissed up dictionary
My protective clothing
Is the focus of her loathing
I take forever to decide in shops
I exert myself trying to pick her lock

I need a whole new body of blood
Don't stamp on my stammer
Don't oppress me, love
I need a whole new body of blood
Don't stamp on my stammer
Don't oppress me, love
