BACK TO NATURE You moved next door to them but they don't really like it You never use the store and they think your psychic Extremities don't go down to the precinct Weirdos mowed down by the missing link THEY'RE GONNA HATE YA, THEY'LL LIQUIDATE YA THEY'RE GONNA HATE YA, RIGHT BACK TO NATURE ANNIHILATE YA, THEY'LL VIOLATE YA ERADICATE YA, RIGHT BACK TO NATURE Radically touched that's a heavy state crime Your cult status fucks with their heavy state mind Too explosive for the papers For the Yank police your the scapegoat for rapers CHORUS Another big shootout its all gone wrong Go 'Russian Percussion' so lets drop the bomb Blow 'em all to bits get rid of the scum Get rid of the shits, but did the whole block have guns? CHORUS BACK TO NATURE BACK TO NATURE BACK TO NATURE BACK TO NATURE (Lyrics - © Don't Care 1993)

PACIFIST 04:03
PACIFIST What the hell is wrong with you? Deep meaning in your front room Turn out the light, turn off the screen Don't know whats going on, and you wanna scream! PACIFISTIC MASOCHISTIC PACIFIST YOU CAN'T RESIST PACIFISTIC MASOCHISTIC PACIFIST YOU CAN'T RESIST Shock of your life your a big distorter Are we all now just cattle to slaughter The only humane way to promote your angle Trapped inside your purple triangle Just another day there;s a knock at the door It wasn't just a call it was something more I seen it in your eyes, I seen you was a state There you were screaming 'Gimme a fix of hate' Which way do ya turn, which way do ya burn A crazy new slant on boy meets girl Your way outta line, your way outta style But you need redemption cos your so vile This horrifying mess wasn't done by your hand You deny it, you defy it, you cant understand Your blue eyed pacifism was tame and gentle But not now since you gone detrimental. Your vile...so vile (Lyrics - © Don't Care 1993)

about

This is TORCHA SHED's debut 4 track demo tape recorded at Sam Sharps, basement Studio in Wolverhampton, England on December 6th/7th 1993. Poor quality because we were poor and skint. But for anyone whose interested this is how we sounded for £12 quid on 2 winter afternoons at a community run studio. It was engineered by a Dexys Midnight Runners fan who was most probably learning the ropes too, well that's our excuse. 'Pacifist' and 'Meet Me In The George Bar' would later turn up re recorded 6 years later on our debut EP 'Nihilism On The Prowl'.
Oh before I forget, the resident engineer Lester (a dread) done a dub version of these tracks to amuse himself. I'll have to take another listen and might put them up another time if you can stand the noise.
