about

‘Blood Like Water’ was unleashed in 1985, a year many now regard as a creative watershed for several Leeds Indie acts like Age Of Chance, The Wedding Present, Chumbawamba etc. The same can’t be said for Well Martin This Is Different who had yet to become an abbreviation. ‘Blood Like Water’ was WMTID’s lone contribution to Leeds purple patch and we still can’t get the stain out. It appeared on Rouska record’s debut, seminal and well received critical compilation album ‘Raging Sun’ which entered both the independent and national charts top 30 (in the latter case as a typing error appearing instead of Roger Daltrey’s Under a Raging Moon – I bet he was miffed). Chartwise Rouska peaked, and it would all be down the wooden hill from hereon. Still, the glittering little blip that was ‘Blood Like Water’ was my way of saying that I could do well without those had stood alongside me when we did that dreadful youtube clip a few months previous. Thanks Cherry Red for taking it anti-viral.
So, in discovering I didn’t work well with others I at least discovered I could knock out a fair faux Goth tune. It would be something I could build upon and the fact it heartily pissed off my old comrades from Well Martin This Is Different Mk1 only served to underscore that realisation.

lyrics

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)
