  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    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

Underneath the bridge
In the heroin gloom
A once loved body
Gets plenty of room
In a town that begs forgiveness
Hairdressers offer no consolation
Everything is not going to be okay
Real-life jobs are getting in the way

Parties of the rich over the wall
The world won't give me back my ball
Parties of the rich over the wall
The world won't give me back my ball

Alarm bells ringing
To the tresspassers conga
Over at their house
The smell is getting stronger
Creamy dreamy things
Spread out on the lawn
Wishing for escape
Like they've never been born
Give me handshakes
Give me hugs
Give me punchlines
You pleasure-seeking thugs

Parties of the rich over the wall
The world won't give me back my ball
Parties of the rich over the wall
The world won't give me back my ball

Unsympathetic wealth is stinging
Despite Rock 'n' Roll right-wingers are singing

Bloody noses pressed against shattered glass
Summer outfits tease whilst offers last
The clear up by a shifty council
With party tricks up their sleeves
A fistful of fantasies
Won't impress these thieves

Parties of the rich over the wall
The world won't give me back my ball
Parties of the rich over the wall
The world won't give me back my ball
