Compromise

I open my window
I see them fighting
A couple torn apart by love
They can't agree on things
They see their own ways
And stubbornly they will not budge.
Compromise is not a dirty word
Compromise is not a dirty word
I switch on my TV
I see them fighting
A world torn apart by hate
They can't agree on things
They seen their own ways
They murder children in the streets
Compromise is not a dirty word
Compromise is not a dirty word
I guess I should expect
A bit of trouble
The nights are fair drawin' in
Can we go back in time?
Back to the garden?
I think we need to start again
When Compromise was not a dirty word
Compromise was not a dirty word
Compromise, compromise is not a dirty word

What a lovely day
For doing nothing!
I'm a plastic man
Wrapped up in cotton
In a moth-ridden room
I'm streaming pictures
My head bumps hard
And my chest bumps harder
Another course to take
With no diversion
For a smiling face
like Richard Virgin
I count out the days
In little metal sleeves
Like counting off
An advent calendar
You are not those pills you swallow
You are not the stuff you're coughing up
You are not the things you're buying
You are not the stuff you go without
Sweating through a t-shirt
Room spinning round
Taking on some water
But you know that...
Today has been a good day
Today has been alright
You are not those things you're thinking
You are not those voices that you hear
You are not those feels you're feeling
You are not the scars you have to bear
Sweating through a t-shirt
Room spinning round
I'm not even moving
No... I'm...
Today has been a good day
Today has been alright
Today has been a good day
Today has been alright

It's different now I feel
Though I'm still a selfish man, no thoughts of my own
I can cross the bridge to where you are
Beyond the other side
I stumble down life's road
I'm flush with everyone and all that I know
I have crawled across the world (a stage)
I'm not afraid to say
That you don't owe me
You don't own me
And you don't know me at all
No, you don't know me at all

Too Many Scratches
05:06

Pulled apart at the seams
Tired and made from dirt
When she recalls her dreams
They're unacceptable at the start
The bites on his neck are real
His bruise has begun to heal
But if she repatriates
He'll run in circles 'round all inside
It doesn't matter
It's just a tragedy playing out on screen
Our covers keep us safe and warm inside
Too many scratches
I would be moved if I could but I'm going blind
An echo chamber roaring at the dark
Now he knows where I live
Now he knows who I am
And if I try and run away
That's further evidence towards my crimes
My spine is weak
I sing instead of learn to speak
But if I call me "Nate the Saint"
I'd be a martyr for the modern age

Milvus Milvus Glasgow, UK
Think Talking Heads if they discovered techno rather than afrobeat.
Milvus Milvus is
pounding electronic rhythms with simple basslines and scratchy New Wave guitars; a unique sound reminiscent of late 80s pop and modern dance music.
Our lyrics discuss themes like mental health, isolation, religion, class, poverty, and, most recently, cannibalism.
