Cruel 02:57
lyrics
You're so cruel And you're so small And you don't care You're so cruel so ... Who put the rain on the window again, Tell me who put the rain? Who stole the leg, from the man that was lame? Tell me, who's in the frame? You're so blank And you're so dank And you'd drown me In your fish tank You're so cruel so ... Who put the rain on the window again, Tell me who's in the frame? Who stole the leg, from the man that was lame? Tell me, who takes the blame? Well I think it could be you

Very Tight 03:11
lyrics
This is where you can find your feet for the first time And this is where you can turn yourself around Can you feel that? Testing, testing This is where you can learn to play a new game We've a range of most amusing toys Can you feel that? Testing, testing Leave the light on And hold on Tight Very tight This is where you can watch the future, get up and leave the room And this is where the coffee's always cold Can you feel that? Testing, testing Testing, testing

And Then Your Hat And Scarf 02:30
lyrics
There's a hotel in China I don't remember it's name But there isn't a finer Example to save ... So where were you last night, So where were you? So where were you last night, So where were you? You left the room / so where were you? There's a man in the harbour And he's going to burn He was never your father When will you ever learn ... ? So where were you last night, So where were you? So where were you last night, So where were you? You left the room You tell me that you play with electronic games But I'm afraid to say, the truth gets in the way You don your shopping coat and then your hat and scarf And then you run around, you run around You run around and laugh So where were you last night, So where were you? So where were you last night, So where were you? You left the room / So where were you? Is tomorrow night alright?

Yet Another Coat Of Paint 03:16
lyrics
You're welcome, but you're not welcome Decorate the living room This afternoon will come too soon There's little else to do Yet another coat of paint The one you wore when you were late I anticipate that you're ... You're welcome, but you're not welcome You're welcome, but you're not welcome Give the clock a helping hand Make it stop I know you can Well, I think that you can There's so many things to do And none of them would interest you In the least You're welcome, but you're not welcome You're welcome, but you're not welcome In a distant motor car Someone takes a joke too far It's a clean car

about

Accidents Waiting To Happen

Curtains' first EP combined layered electronica with energetic guitars to ambient-punk effect - the songs contemplating the landscape of befuddlement.


"There's a hotel in China
I don't remember it's name
But there isn't a finer
Example to save"

about

Curtains image

Curtains England, UK

Stemming from the brief pre-Britpop flurry of experimentally minded 'non-retro' indie groups. Curtains employed direct pop impetus layered with electronic textures. A hybrid artpop, or "ambient-punk" that related as much to the krautrock family tree, as it did to post punk, electro and techno.

Songs could be any (or all) of the following. Intimate, fizzy, lush, kooky, or full-on walls of sound! ... more
