Table Turning takes me back My life in contradiction My father never knew me Never saw behind my eyes Faces glowing in the fire-light turn towards me in anticipation They're expecting something, pretty drastic! But I digress and I smile and say nothing and I live my life behind my smile and I live my life behind my smile and I live my life behind my smile and I live my life behind my smile Table turning brings me further my life moves in time My father never knew my eyes Never saw behind my face My father glowing in the twilight don't know what he wants me to say He's expecting something pretty drastic but I close my eyes and smile and say nothing and I live my life behind my smile and I live my life behind my smile and I live my life behind my smile and I live my life behind my smile -- Alternative version of Table Turning recorded during the FOE sessions. words and music by SALEM TRIALS

It's like touching the heavens or punching the face of god I'd like to take you home again and wade my way through the blood I can't feel my eyelids I can't see my feet If I can't get to the end of the road then we may never meet hide your face behind your hand smile like you mean it hiding laughter behind your hand you smile like you believe it Everything now is ruined everything's gone wrong all the sailors have sailed for home and all the pretty girls have gone this town's closing down for winter the tourists have all left town you and I have reached our autumn and might as well wind down hide your face behind your hand smile like you mean it hiding laughter behind your hand you smile like you believe it - words and music by SALEM TRIALS non-album track recorded during the early sessions for FOE Factory.

You're Coming round here, looking for trouble thrashing around trying to look flash don't you know you're a subject of ridicule your useless gestures make me laugh You're on my patch pissing on my doorstep Look like you're looking for a fight You're all blown up in idle posture Looks like you wouldn't last the night It's like you're trying to impress someone Who might or might not be there you're throwing massive gestures to a world that doesn't care You'd do better to impress me Do more than raise a laugh fight me my way on my back yard and win that might be a start - Alternative version of Posture recorded during the FOE sessions. words and music by SALEM TRIALS

It doesn't matter anyway anything you do or anything you say you're still obsessed with this town and we don't care anyway you can spend your life just living it down you can spend your life just living it down you can spend your life not leaving this town you can spend your life... in this satanic mill in this satanic mill in this satanic mill you can spend your life Leave it alone, let it stop but we won't let the matter drop we're going to milk the moment pretty neat, or not? you can spend your life just living it down you can spend your life just living it down you can spend your life not leaving this town you can spend your life... in this satanic mill in this satanic mill in this satanic mill you can spend your life We need a taste of adventure even someone else's venture our lives are so inconsequential that was all you were sent for you can spend your life just living it down you can spend your life just living it down you can spend your life not leaving this town you can spend your life... in this satanic mill in this satanic mill in this satanic mill you can spend your life We take it as far as it'll go We'll even let your mother know we'll make you life a living hell and why? Because we say so - Alternative first version of Satanic Mills, recorded during the FOE sessions. words and music by SALEM TRIALS

REVIEW

Here, from beneath the corrupt and confidence tricking upper surface of commercialised crappery we find another bottom-feeding band doing things their way - lovely
