Thereʼs always been a limit to the demolition
A different direction or left for ruin
You see the resistance with what must be changed
Itʼs been made clear, thereʼs way too much at stake
Coincide with the air, fall in love with the sea
A doom is awaiting unless we undo our damage
Weʼve built to fall apart but never to degrade
If we canʼt improve, then we will devastate
Not all can afford sustainable life
Priced high for the rich but we all lose
And into the dirt with useless coins
Or evolution and improve
More value than coin is the living world
Reject that itʼs happening
It canʼt heal itself
It wonʼt go away
Despoil
Or save
Power to destroy, with strength to restore
We exist now, our future selves left unsure
Thereʼs always been a limit to the demolition
A better direction or left for ruin
Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
