about

This is part of a (nearly) gapless album. Feel free to download it as a standalone track, but to hear it in context you know it makes more sense to download the whole thing...

Downloading the full album will also get you high quality digital copies of the full album artwork booklet and the unreleased Butcher Bull artwork!

Better still - buy the cd and feel it!

lyrics

Sinner, Gambler, Fugitive (for human gears and manual error)

Words and music by David Lawrie.

Harmless wager on the table,
This is where we anti-up.
Open up a black revolver,
Russian fingers, fill her slight.

Use a club to beat a stranger,
Use a spade to cover up.
Bribe the Jury with a diamond,
Stab a heart to put it right.

Follow the investigation,
Make a note of where it's been.
Memorise the outs and ins,
To hide away these deadly sins.

Sanitary in the Bathroom;
This is where my hands are clean.
Antiseptic in the sink,
Anti-everything I think.

Run away and make it quick,
It's not too late to saddle up.
Get ahead to start again,
To get away from what is done.

Balaclava over head
And leather gloves won't leave a trace.
Take a gamble with a gun,
But pass it off as 'just for fun'.

Worry if you're fucking up;
If everything is down to luck.
Make a perfect alibi;
Poker face to tell a lie.

In a vessel, on a river,
Ocean-bound to not be found.
Waterfall to make you think
It's easier to let it sink.
