lyrics

This new polarity to the dead ones has some subjectivity
We met them on the beaches in our sunscreen smeared productivity
This isn't the thread of a story or some larger narrative
Just the scent of the dead ones, bathing in the sun-spots that burnt us alive

The sun that burns us alive.

This new polarity to the sea-scapes, under such influence
As the tides we are shaking through the coldness and the ties of gravity
Holding onto my stature in the burning streets of the dying hour
Just the scent of the dead ones, bathing in the wide oceans that burn them alive.

The sun that burns us alive.

about

The Contortionist London, UK

The Contortionist is me, Andy Hirst; usually alone, but sometimes with friends. We even had a proper band for a while (The Contortionist and The Wandering Boy Poets).

I've been in a load of bands over the years playing various things: drums in Nixon, The Broken Chairs, and The Purgatory Players, guitar in Situationists, guitar/keys/vocals in Japanese Sleepers and Fall Forwards.
