Fish Below The Ice - Shriekback

Well the mouth is open

And the noise comes out

Ain’t no reason for it

Just a need to shout

It’s malnutrition

We could fall apart

It’s never delicate

Just something from the iron age

We shake it up

And we break it down

The sound of a satellite

Saying get me down

Yeah we shake it up

And we break it down

Hear the voice of America

In your home town

Well the film is forming

'Til the film runs out

There’s no point of focus

It zooms in and out

It’s information

And it leaves no mark

It’s just as permanent

As painting in the iron age

I’m plugged in and loaded

Don’t forget to phone in

The self destruct is holding

I’m counting, I’m counting, but only to three

We get it right sometimes

We shine a light sometimes

We see the fish below the ice sometimes

Stand up and fight sometimes

We get the fright sometimes

How will we ever pay the price this time

We shake it up

And we break it down

The sound of a satellite

Saying get me down

Yeah we shake it up

And we break it down

It’s east European, west European

It’s moving so fast

It goes all the way round

We shake it up

And we break it down

Yeah we shake it up

And we break it down

Yeah we shake it up / Yeah he’s on a mission from god

And we break it down / But he don’t know whose and he don’t know why

Yeah we shake it up

And we break it down

Yeah we shake it up / Says I’m not a light in the darkness

And we break it down / More like a shadow on the lungs

Yeah we shake it up

And we break it down

Yeah we shake it up / I’m balanced here on the edge of anger

And we break it down / I’m standing here on an empty page

Yeah we shake it up / Sooner or later I’ll start receiving

And we break it down / I’ve been standing here for days

Yeah we shake it up

And we break it down

Hear the voice of America

In your home town

Yeah we shake it up

And we break it down

It’s east European, west European

It’s moving so fast

It goes all the way round

We get it right sometimes

We shine a light sometimes

We see the fish below the ice sometimes

Stand up and fight sometimes

We get the fright sometimes

How will we ever pay the price this time

We shake it up

And we break it down

The sound of a satellite

Saying get me down

Yeah we shake it up

And we break it down

It’s east European, west European

It’s moving so fast

It goes all the way round

We get it right sometimes

We shine a light sometimes

We see the fish below the ice sometimes

Stand up and fight sometimes

We get the fright sometimes

How will we ever pay the price this time

We get it right sometimes

We shine a light sometimes

We see the fish below the ice sometimes

Stand up and fight sometimes

We get the fright sometimes

How will we ever pay the price this time

We get it right sometimes

We shine a light sometimes

We see the fish below the ice sometimes

Stand up and fight sometimes

We get the fright sometimes

How will we ever pay the price this time

We get it right sometimes

We shine a light sometimes…
