High And Dry 02:37
Angel face, please let me in Tell me what's been happening Wake me when you feel the thrill And I'll be there Tell me where and what it means I can't live remembering And everything will shake and spill And I'll be there Blue eyes, blue eyes, blue eyes Blue eyes, blue eyes, high and dry Blue eyes, blue eyes And everything will shake and spill And I'll be there Hold me tight, I might break free Only one can cut this deep Soulful cry will make it real And I'll be there Blue eyes, blue eyes, blue eyes Blue eyes, blue eyes, high and dry Blue eyes, blue eyes

Lift me up, lift me up, no, no, no Don't go high, don't go low Wake me up, shake me up, please don't go Why cut me off, cause you are... Cool in my book, Like a writing on the wall, you never know Will it stay there too long Or fade out in a flash? You're cool in my book Fooled me then, fool me now, I don't care I will never be prepared Spike the punch, make the waves, life's not fair Why cut me off, cause you are... Cool in my book, Like a writing on the wall, you never know Will it stay there too long Or fade out in a flash? you're cool in my book

Now, now, I tried to be on time Time flies in the friendly skies Dark clouds away! You know I hate a bad goodbye Tried hard to pass another round Then one round again Words fish deep in the river Please be my instant forgiver Words fish deep in the river Please be my instant forgiver Right now we are worlds apart Somehow I'll try to turn the page I won't mess around Bummed out, waiting out the storm Fresh start is all I'm asking for So don't let me down Words fish deep in the river Please be my instant forgiver Words fish deep in the river Please be my instant forgiver Forgiver, you are my forgiver...

Genius 03:05
Calm down, baby doll You ain't the one I need Speed up, then simmer down I just can't feel your beat Big deal, you and me It wasn't meant to be Look around, find your clown She's the only one I see She strikes me as a genius Sharp, sound and unconventional She strikes me as a genius I know she ain't tough What scares her makes me laugh I'd like to think her way She means all she says She strikes me as a genius Sharp, sound and unconventional She strikes me as a genius Was I dreaming too long to believe I can have her?

about

SHOPLIFTERS are from Serbia, but listening to their songs you might think they're from the UK. Specifically the UK in about 1994. Their previous releases (including a split 7" with WHITE FLAG and their incredible album 'Believe') provided a stormy mix of SNUFF and BIG DRILL CAR style punk rock. However, for this new 4 song 7", Shoplifters have cast their net even wider and caught a sound that that builds off their prior work but incorporates new elements.

This time out, you can feel the melodic side of the band come through even more strongly. Often it brings to mind early, at their best, CHINA DRUM. At the same time, SHOPLIFTERS are tapping into a vein of even stronger energy than before with a whirlwind of forceful, BOB MOULD-style guitar shredding and a hefty HUSKER DU influence. If you're looking for loud guitars, big hooks and melodic vocals you'd be hard pressed to find a band more up your alley than SHOPLIFTERS.

Limited 7" EP available now from Brassneck Records (UK), Bartolini Records (Spain), PopKid Records (US), Waterslide Records (Japan) and White Russian Records (The Netherlands).
