about

This song started out life in 2002 as nemo demo that never made the grade. I completely overhauled it and realised it was the perfect opening track for this album.

lyrics

FOREIGN GESTURES

Live life 'til the end,
Keep up with your friends
Head down, don't be scared
Science will take you there

Please forget to fight your loved ones
Please remember your compassion

They move in foreign gestures
They experiment on their own kind
They move in foreign gestures
They're from another time

We are the smart phone generation
Lonely in social isolation
Set out to ruin conversation
Follow the vision of the zombie nation

Raised in a test tube to start a riot
Make the matches to start a fire

They move in foreign gestures
