Skin & Bones 02:42
lyrics
SKIN & BONES You’re just skin & bones Brought in from the cold, singing your restless song You’re back here again Like a long lost friend, back where you belong All your life you’re living in your old ways All your life you’re playing out your old days You speak in broken rhymes Running out of time before the hangman’s call You better run and hide Forget that your pride comes before a fall All your life you’re telling me the same tales All your life you’re walking down the wrong trail You never see the signs Never open up your mind to see the path you’re on is broken You never face the facts Always turn your back on the words that you’ve just spoken What waits for you now? All your life I’ll never ever see you change All your life you’ll always have someone to blame All your life All your life All your life

Jump In The River 03:15
lyrics
JUMP IN THE RIVER Leap from rock to rock across a stream Jumping so long you’ve jumped a sea You’ve been swimming in the sands of the sky Dreaming a name in the night Polluting the minds of the youth I’ve been burned so I’m trying not to love you All you look for is what there is to gain Material possessions took you away Well the moon it cried and the sun just sighed And the birds they fell from the sky We were breathing dreams Living in the trees So let’s jump in the river again The brisk sweeping air fills the room The dream-weavers’ looking for you So while you listen for the sounds in the song? Do you ever wonder where you have been for so long? Does it get lonely down there? By the river you shiver but dare To lose yourself the way you lost me I’ll meet you where the river meets the sea Well the moon it cried and the sun just sighed And the birds they fell from the sky We were breathing dreams We were living in the trees So let’s jump in the river again Hold on to the dreams of within Listen to the song that they sing When you’re banished will you fly far away? To forget what you felt yesterday

about

‘Skin & Bones’ is the third single by The Aluskas, a great rock ‘n’ roll band from Dublin, Ireland. The A-side is the groups’ heaviest song so far and features a throat-shredding vocal from guitarist Philip Tinsley who co-wrote it. The records disturbing sense of claustrophobia is heightened by insistent piano strikes, a coiling guitar riff and manic percussion work. The B-side, ‘Jump In The River’ is its polar opposite, the song’s jazzy overtones portraying The Aluskas ability to move comfortably between genres and is a perfectly wistful goodbye to the summer” (Make It Mag, Issue 4).
