rikm A loving re-release of the classic debut album from Cold Cave, bringing together all of the eps and singles from that era, celebrating the early days of the band. Longtime fans will appreciate the chance to rediscover a classic album, while new listeners will revel in the exploration of what is undoubtedly one of the best Darkwave acts of the last decade.

count_vertigo My favourite album right now. If it's on in the background then inevitably my head gets moving; if it's primary listening then each track is endlessly fascinating.

Bit of a downside in this version, though: the new mix of Theme From Tomorrowland, which is one of my favourite tracks in the old version. Wes and Amy, your voices are absolute perfection, you don't need to bury them in the mix like this! Favorite track: Youth and Lust.

Cebe and Me 03:43
Fire Works But Trust is broken Concrete Crushes And near Death brushes 'Til the end of the day 'Til the end of the life 'Til the end of the world 'Til the end of the night You will put flowers Over the Earth where I sleep And know in your heart I was not meant to keep War makes everything feel closer You cried wolf and I showed up
2.
Everything changing will unchange again Sun sheds the light as the life sheds the skin You kiss your wish to the heart of the well The secrets you sleep with will not break the spell 
 Come on lets go home Buried in your room Sing a song of death 'Til there's no one left 
 Love comes close But chooses to spare me Death comes close But ceases to take me I want to twist the knife a bit deeper To siphon the love from the hearts I believed in 
 Look outside World is exploding Stay inside So never knowing Taking cover With each other Sleeping off a century of hope 
 Every day's changing to remain the same Silhouettes shy as the rain runs the drain Every day's decay debases the dream The ghosts that will haunt you are not what they seem 
 Still you say your deaf To depravity But that can't be true 'Cause I know you can hear me
3.
I dig myself To the center of the earth And then there was a hole 
 I crawl back And put a knock upon your door But there was no one home 
 I'm not going back 
I climb clouds To the bluest of the sky And all I saw was air 
I rain my love To the heads that breathe below But none of them care 
I'm not going back
4.
I'm going to put you in the hospital 
People pay attention to me I don't know why You will learn to love me I don't know why We will make history I don't know why 
People pay attention to me People, pay attention to me
5.
Is this the voice you've been calling Decorated in despair Is this the pace you've been crawling Celebrated without care 
Of all the girls tying ropes to tall trees I was bored so I hung there with you Why'd you go and candycoat me And then treat me like a cavity  While bigger drills dig holes through me  
Of all the boys smashing heads in the city Heaven was full so i went down with you I will pity you 'til your pretty What's a love without some struggle You'll rest while I stitch your knuckles     
Of all the corners you've been cutting your teeth again on my skin I don't know when the beginning ends or when the end begins  
 Begin Be damned Again
6.
I Buried Seeded Lies And So The Trees Grew Emotions And Died And Now You Can't Breathe Goodbye Oh Oh
7.
Hello Rats 01:49
Hello rats nest, Looking for an old friend? Sip it hard when you cant afford the medicine You're in bed with a future ex-girlfriend Telling lies about emotions or something 
 Cosmic sounds from the headphone dead phone Comet falls from the bomb filled sky I can't compete with the air I'm breathing Or the people who need me to fail for them
8.
Dethroning the dream Of neon nights in rain I stripped from the skin But kept it in 
 Same remains the same Cold sheets and mattress stains There's no telling you  To want me too
 You miss the disco lights Its all pleather now A synthetic world without end Sheds a tear of plastic deception 
 The last dance With the rain On the nod On the train Hunting the haunted with shame I will remember your name I had hoped my love alone could outlive my past I had hoped to thread the black hole with no strings attached 
 Thorn to finger again A head in a strange hand I prayed for some truth 'Til my face turned blue 
 To fill the void between Your youth and lust You'll cross the bridge between My knives and trust 
 You miss the neon lights Its all plastic now A sympathetic world without end Hums a hymn of misdirection
9.
I.C.D.K. 03:48
I don't know why  I keep my nose In the dead dirt Just because I Stepped on a rake once Trying to smell The infinite field of sunflower
10.
Come inside where hell can reach you Lift the spell, veil, from your head All the things that I could teach you Double lives in single beds 
 Come on, you said, I'm tired of waiting Patience is so frustrating when Everything you thought you wanted Brings you closer to the end 
 Everything's so complicated Underminded Overstated A Tree of life with broken branches Changing Choices Hanging Chances
11.
The past becomes the future days I feel an affinity with you The future comes when the past decays I feel at eternity with you 
 I don't know where I'm coming from I don't care if I never ever return I don't know where I'm going to I don't care if I never ever get there
12.
Help me honey 'cause I can't see Love's lungs are blowing tear gas at me Ambulance sirens are screaming my name And I'm all hopped up on yesterday London, Paris, Why won't you have me? My tongue's in the air My head's on your knees I know you're married Yeah I know your pain Your finger's been strangled By a cheap promise ring 
 I'm in a shadow of doubt With my knife pulled out 
 At your wedding reception I started drinking To say all the things That I had been thinking There's too many songs And nothing to dance to The future is putrid I'm useless without you Jesus and Mary held a seance for me But I wasn't dead, I was just in Philly Now I'm on the cover of a magazine With my finger on the trigger of everything 
 I read the bible and I understand I was bored by Heaven and the Holy Land
13.
I'm not enough I'm not in love It's all lies It's only lies It's only life You left me To water Dying flowers With my tears
14.
There's no key to unlock me The door won't open no more It's too late to enter Heaven's Gate
