Lyrics: You better look out Watching every step Falling to the right Twisting to the left She’s the one you want. Your bottle went dry Seeing here there Fix your eyes Stop and stare Like you don’t care. You bring the long night down So come on Baby baby Dumb and lazy Knocks you sideways Up a staircase No railing Arms flailing You got to get a grip to stay hip to her trip Now dig! You bring the long night down So come on

Lyrics: Look at you go walking into the wind. You're quite a show, yeah, everyone is your friend. But not me, no, cause I got it going on. A broken yo-yo who's not gonna walk your dog. So step it up girl, how you gonna blow my mind? I dig your action, but you're no one of a kind. Are you for using, up, up, up, til you're gone? I get the message right here where you belong. Hey, I almost got you made. Look at you go walking into the wind. You're quite a show, yeah, everyone is your friend. But don't go too far wandering if you'll fade. Stay in this moment, I almost got you made. Hey, I almost got you made.

We were talking While you lay sleeping As you began to throw it all away You live like flowers In a field of thorns And then it all slipped through your fingers Yes it did Empire of Mars Empire of Mars Then the darkness fell And all the little girls did cry But they never ever knew the reason why Oh no oh no oh no Not again not again Empire of Mars Empire of Mars Empire of Mars Empire of Mars

Lyrics: You asked me where I got my ideas from. I cooked and blended them on my notion grill. Can you taste their flavors? They’re home-made shindig. A summer dressing-down of infamy I almost touched your tongue; you gave my hands no purpose, You spoke on high fashion; I then lost my interest. Licking your liquid sun squid in my brain, I feel you breathing lipless lies in time like a girl insane. You’re wearing my cardigan curled up in my bed. The electric blanket’s set… on high. But yesterday you boiled on the couch. While you spoke and sang the words from my mouth. I almost touched your tongue; you gave my hands no purpose, You spoke on high fashion; I then lost my interest. Licking your liquid sun squid in my brain, I feel you breathing lipless lies in time like a girl insane. I almost touched your tongue; you gave my hands no purpose, You said you were a Sufi Sophia Loren impersonator Licking your liquid sun squid in my brain, I feel you breathing lipless lies in time like a girl insane.

There was no passion without you. No passion like this. All was senseless and stupid. Hanging on the abyss. All it took was a nudge, yeah And the whispering wind Then nothing else would do But you and I and I and you Again again again. In the chill of the winter The subtle brush of your kiss Electric current around us Nothing so good as this. No passion without you. No passion like this. And nothing else will do again But you and I and I and you Again again again. As I walk and I wander As I toil and I rest Please understand I want you And I cannot resist. No passion without you. No passion like this. And nothing else will do now girl But you and I and I and you You and I and I and you You and I and I and you Again again again.

about

"It’s a joy to hear. Revolver-esque production resonates through ‘High Horse’; ‘Almost Got You Made’ is shot through with 12 string and sitar bliss; the Stonesy groove of ‘Sillhouette Suzy’ contrasts with the trippy West Coast blow-out ‘Again And Again’. You won’t be disappointed." - Richard Allen, Shindig! magazine, March 2018

Background:
EMPIRE OF MARS -- originally intended to be the second LP from The Laissez Fairs. BIRS Recordings, requested this album to be put on hold so that the TARGET ON MY BACK album could be recorded and produced.

In the interim, RUM BAR RECORDS asked to release EMPIRE OF MARS after owner, Malibu Lou couldn't get enough of it. Now, it is HERE for YOU, TO DIG... The third LP from The Laissez Fairs!
