Unfaithful, shiny and playful
You're like water, an invitation to disorder
Ungrateful, bitter and spiteful
You're like vinyl, you reflect me like a rival
But I'm not sure if I'm having a fit
So hook me up to the National Grid
The meaning is lost when the vision is done
And my fingers are burnt by the alien sun
It's such a tidal wave when you're an ocean
Proving the people wrong, knowing a weakness
A tidal wave when you're an ocean
Watching the scenery, waiting for feeling
Unstable, there's no money for the disabled
You need a diamond to cut through the asylum
It's not paid for, there's no money on the table
Just like Jesus facing the receivers
But I'm not sure if I'm having a fit
So hook me up to the National Grid
The meaning is lost when the vision is done
And my fingers are burnt by the alien sun
It's such a tidal wave when you're an ocean
Proving the people wrong, knowing a weakness
A tidal wave when you're an ocean
Watching the scenery, waiting for feeling
I'm faithful, infallible, ungrateful, just like an animal
I'm not sure if I'm having a fit
So hook me up to the National Grid

Chris is a treasure trove of delicious rhythms and mind altering lyrics. This album is so different from his others and I NEEDED it so badly! aggiepigeon1
I fucking ADORE this new modular synthesizer based IAMX experience. Stick some tracks on a compilation with Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher and the like and you'll really appreciate CC's diverse and wide-ranging talents. It's just EXCELLENT 💙 Gaz
The UK is particularly blessed with talent in electronica, and Sneaker Pimps are right up there with Portishead, The Aloof & Massive Attack in dark urban disenchantment. 2nd LP Splinters is still my favourite with founding member Chris Corner singing throughout, but this new collection of songs is wonderfully different & Simonne Jones’ singing is dreamy & sensual. Fighter is my top song, the lyrics full of vulnerable strength. Mid LP is especially strong, with Tranquility Trap, SOS, and Stripes. Master of Alchemy
The Manchester band's latest is the kind of ear candy that’s sweet and satisfying but never cloying, the product of Madchester exuberance, endurance, and tact. Bandcamp Album of the Day Oct 11, 2021
