1.	FYPM 01:26	lyrics
Fucked out the light in your eyes, out on their ascent Cast your empty husk aside, a trail of sadness in their wake All you'll ever know, being owed and bitter resentment A promise, a hope pulls you by the nose until you break Cashed in your best 10 years to diminishing returns Your talent and spark are laid to waste and left to burn You're the best opportunity for someone else's end Now you can't afford not to die with a hammer in your hand
2.	Potential H-Bomb 01:12	lyrics
Find sex in any context when the sound contacts If the best defence is to be intense The saddest song is being so wrong and feeling so good The highest high, we all die feeling as we should Brother don't bother with your bitter tales of try and fail The perfect end, choking on a bitter pill With husbands, fathers, mothers and wives I've learn to dine Guarding all the same organs on borrowed time
3.	I Get Eviction 01:02	lyrics
Running circles with an outlook and new hooks A scene that's desperate to be shook When all I've done is lost and gone When it's all been said and done I've heard this one before I swear But who would know or care Feels too late to start again all starry-eyed and passionate Floating one night to the next Hey what's this song really about Your triumphs all hollowed out
4.	In Vein 00:43	lyrics
A tad dramatic, again I'm giving in Let's start an argument that I can't win If I repay your kindness with a sliver of restraint I'd make up for lost years and not leave a sour taste It's just an answer none of us have Or just a great unsaid It's lost its charm We've wrecked each other hard
5.	Damaged III 01:37	lyrics
There she goes shaking a fist A final kissoff so we know she exists A powder keg of nervous excitement that the pills by the bed can't hold I got too good for this scene Cashed in my talents man, I'm living your dream Dumb luck and dumb ideas it's an outcome without income There she goes shaking a fist A final kissoff so we know she exists I find it hard to get at all excited with a heart so cold
6.	Chiaroscuro 01:06	lyrics
A simple separation of chemistry and art Easier said than done where does one end or the other start Sad it's such a stupid past time but it's where I thrive Common as culture and a linchpin for all like minds Make my way home on a blackened road, and every tragic turn Pen to paper on human nature and every curse I've earned
7.	Space of AIDS 00:39	lyrics
Post to post in perfect four-four Stabs of terrifying noise I've got a winning smile And a golden voice Eyes cast down and they're welling up Whinge and spit your damn mouth shut I've got getting you down Down to a science of sad Dig a ditch straight to your heart Dive in and make a mess
8.	Gutsy 01:21	lyrics
You're always short on patience, I'm always out of excuses You'll cherish all your sweet things and I'll stay with my abuses You gave a fair warning so I bid farewell While you live for liberation I've got stories to tell You've lived a charmed life, that tired cliche You can't take it with you, your end if you stay Screaming bloody murder and crying a light You've lived your best days, get lost in the night

about

The Tracy Lords Hong Kong

Hell's house band THE TRACY LORDS is a chaotic smash n' grab of primordial sludge in molten tones and carwreck whiplash rhythms. With enough artfulness, drama and sadness to keep the young'uns interested and lo-fi charms for the Punk Rock cogniscenti, The Lords' hope-crushing heaviness is inflicted with the simple MO of set up, break the audience into little pieces and get out. ... more
