TWH may be locked down temporarily in a limbo of nightmare and the poison may be in the perfume called air, but our spirit floats on in a different form, pressed into a 12'' black vinyl inside a white label EP called ACID ZOO.

Through the bars of ACID ZOO you will hear 3 tracks - THE ICKE AGE, BLACK POOL & THE NATIONAL + - and 4 remixes by Leyland Kirby (The Caretaker), Richard Fearless, Lille Cykel (Posh Isolation) and Christoph de Babalon.

Tragically fractured like the screen of a dropped phone, THE NATIONAL + is the BSDs new 'thing' - a 7-minute symphony of absurdity and raw imagination - set outside WILKO and inside TESCO'S CHAINSAW MASSACRE.

Around the day in eighty worlds, we have caught the wrong train to a new neurotic terrain.

Come back to bed. We won't make love. Love will make us.

Includes exclusive badges and postcards not tested on animals.

lyrics

Lyrics by Austin Collings

We had the dream in our hands but couldn’t hold it/ Now, read me my rat-rights/in the liquid nights of Black Pool/ Where I shall gain glory or die/As I dive/Into her river-veins/All sad like/For the 100-metre badge prize.

I wore shorts so small/I had only one ball in Black Pool

Neither waving/Nor drowning/Nor swimming/Into the world of the future

Like the last hours of a summer day/We were so small and knew-it-all/Geniuses with no talent/paddling a damp dog/through the blue of Black Pool/One flew over the KFC nest/of your breast stroke

Smooth as a wild animal/Swimming through the cemeteries of unburied children/who go to school in Black Pool

Neither waving/Nor drowning/Nor swimming/Into the world of the future

Everything was forever/Until it was no more/them’s the rule in Black Pool

Neither waving/Nor drowning/Nor swimming/Into the world of the future

There’s something black in the blue of your eye/in Black Pool

You know things are bad when your Mum and Dad/start talking/whispers in the waves of no rules/two lovers, entwined, past their prime/in Black Pool.

Neither waving/Nor drowning/Nor swimming/Into the world of the future

Birthdays are the ghost hunters that track you down/cool and cruel/they ask/do you like the sights of the Black Pool?

Everything was forever/Until it was no more.
