The lyrics are best left where they started in a dusty, damp stained sixth form issue exercise book.

Hell on earth black on white blood on stone built on fear, Votes and lies mason spies drunk on hope made of rope, The future is in you I'm on my knees so numbered call me now, Sick of love, sick of hate your last child born to hate, Take me away from here it's all I can bear to stare into the shadows to our future, So, kill me now. Blood Like Water x4 Hell on earth black on white blood on stone built on fear, Take me away from here it's all I can bear to look into the future for an answer so kill me NOW NOW (repeat) Take me away (repeat)

One day about the middle of the trip we reached the high point, One of those moments you remember for ever, When she told you this was all, nine years and not a second more. Sleep whilst the world turns its back, No more sorrow nor laughter in the rain And so black and there's nothing quite as dark and as red as the blood on your lips. Like a devil both feet on the ground, own up to three little words, Come here and listen like an angel, Your heads way up in the clouds. One day a stone's throw from the Russian border in 1871 a dream no one could kill, And once you're prepared to believe anything at all and that's what you did, Nine years not a second more. Sleep whilst the world turns its back, No more sorrow nor laughter in the rain And so black and there's nothing quite as dark and as red as the blood on your lips. Like a devil both feet on the ground, own up to three little words, Come here and listen like an angel, Your heads way up in the clouds.

“’Transfascist’ pulsates, a tangle of hi-tech venom and a wicked rhythm that’ll shift the microns in your body….Fearsomely enigmatic.” Mr Spencer - Sounds “Killersequencer.” Spex “…extra powerful pulsing opus. A beligerent bustling rhythm with all its hands in the right pockets and its feet toe-tapping in synch.” TCW – Underground

If II 06:19
If it comes to this, if it's not the time or place, Have you ever stopped to think what all this should mean to you? I cannot explain what's going on in my head. Does it mean losing all?.IF! If seems the hardest word and a certain kind of freedom, Where yesterday the wall stood a couple walk hand in hand, And nothing but a poll of tears reflects the fear in your life. Does it mean losing all? IF! x2 There's a prt of me that's kind. There's a part of me that's evil. I have to twist myself inside out so the good is on the inside and the bad on the outside. Does it mean losing all? IF! Does it mean losing all? IF! If right becomes wrong and left becomes right, With our backs to the future let's take a look at the past one more time. Does it mean losing all? IF! Does it mean losing all? IF! If it comes to this, if it's not the time or place, Have you ever stopped to think what all this should mean to you? I cannot explain what's going on in my mind. Does it mean losing all? IF! Does it mean losing all? IF!

Amerikana 06:25
There is now no echo running through the streets. The people they hear you yet loathe you but always stand proud... And Kennedy, time could not beat, beat the rap... Or the spirit, the illusion, the flag that flies for all. Amerikana - you try too hard to please. Amerikana - you put the corporate into sleaze. Get on your knees. A Mickey Mouse president, a moron and a bum. Home of the true, the brave yet despised by all and everyone. They mean what they say and say it mean, The cry for freedom as it's always been. Amerikana - you try too hard to please. Amerikana - you put the corporate into sleaze. On good days life must answer to you. On bad days history answers to no one. We have known the voice of sanity in our dreams. Amerika you try too hard to please. Amerikana - a nation under the thumb. Amerikana - Mickey Mouse with a hard on and a gun. There is now no echo running through the streets. The people they hear you yet loathe you but always stand proud. Amerikana - you try too hard to please. Amerikana - you put the corporate into sleaze.

“Beso De La Muerte” is a fabulous sexy shudder of techno-beats and erotic voices.” Dave Simpson – Melody Maker, 23/06/90 Which tells you all he knows!

My people live for the day to make themselves stronger. And in their own special way they'll live for much longer. The stupid questions they all ask. we're fighting now for the truth. I hope it helps you sleep nights. The morphine and the vodka. Oh no. The wife who made breakfast in bed had cooked the golden goose. And somewhere on the plate now fried eggs, bills and cold turkey. It can now never be the same. What more do you want than the truth? I hope it gives you sleepless nights. The McDonalds and the vodka. My people live for the day. They can take it or leave it. Perhaps i shall never know the last days of Rome. And God shall wipe away all tears, the chatshows and their hosts. And will you still carry me home, take care of my bloody nose. Charlie... My people live for this day. Can't hold on any longer. And in their own special way they'll become much stronger. The stupid questions they all ask. we're fighting now for the truth. I hope it helps you sleep nights. The morphine and the vodka. It can now never be the same. What more do you want than the truth? I hope it gives you sleepless nights. The McDonalds and the vodka. Oh no.

Tory Bliar 04:58
With a barcode on my backside and a chip in my dick, I'll fast become just another of your cheap tricks. But you don't fool us your time has come. What have you done for me? Given the dog a bone? Driven the wife to Madagascar? put the mother-in-law in a home? You ain't no angel just some great corporate whore. A thing of great evil. What are you looking for? There is a light that never goes out x2 What have you done for me? What are you looking for? A place in history or some way to even up the score? There is a light that never goes out (repeat) With a barcode on my backside and a chip in my dick, I'll fast become just another of your cheap tricks. But you don't fool us your time has come. Behind the scenes of power you make your play. Terrorists are paraded each and every day, to strike fear and distract us from your insanity. What are you looking for? A place in history? Sieg Heil Tony Blair (repeat to fade)

about

There was never any danger of WMTID being a ‘known’ act. There was nothing I could do to compromise my values which would always be of an infinitely higher level and quality than my music which is experimental at worse, seditious and mischievous at best. So, unless you are prepared to throw your values, integrity, et al into the bin there’s no seat at the big table for me, meaning my musical half-life would be a can of chum old pal.
Catawalling and spitting from the cheap seats at the rear of the hall rarely got anyone’s attention but Punk had shown me the merit of being different, chomping at the bit, snarling at the establishment and generally making a fine old arse of oneself. I couldn’t resist throwing curve balls to see what would happen.
So… samples…make fine curve balls and when they work, I sincerely believe you are not stealing another person’s ideas, soul or creativity any more than when you employ someone else’s pictures or images from a magazine to make a new ‘thing’…a collage that takes on another life, meaning and context. Musically, if samples are skilfully employed, they can create a musical collage as such. It doesn’t always go to plan, but the intention is still good especially when making a social, cultural or political point. Hey, who could put down fascism better than Charlie Chaplin in The Great Dictator or Martin Luther King in respect of racism and inequality. If my music in any way aids the message, then…and of course it’s often an audacious step but should anything be off the table when making music? There’s no issue with honesty here. What I and choice pals have done via WMTID is herewith and whatever laid bare and what you see is…
On ‘The Electric Church’ album there’s a whole track devoted to Robocop… with sampling throughout set to an urgent electronic beat. It works. By way of contrast on the second album ‘Pale Saint’ I change the lyrics (not the tune) and rip mercilessly through the Bee Gee’s ‘Tragedy’. It was an unmitigated disaster as they say. No sampling here just a plain sh*t rewrite!
When it works however… Exhibit B: find here the track Beso De La Muerte.

These ten tracks trace WMTID from a prepubescent Well Martin This Is Different gaggle of innocents through two albums and into the wilderness. A great chunk of this compilation shows what WMTID had become. The entity had skewed from the ‘Land Of Silence’ and ‘Blood Like Water’ shambly naïve pop sounds via ‘9 Years’ and the transformation into sample heaven or hell. So, be prepared for samples lifted from Bowie, Laibach, Martin Luther King, Charlie Chaplin, Kiss and the Sisterhood.
There’s a lot to be wary of and each track I will dutifully footnote.
