about

When I was younger i kept a diary but had to disguise my handwriting due to the fact that my nosy sister was always reading it. Unfortunately for me I did too go a job and couldn't even decipher it myself.

lyrics

Due To The State Of My Handwriting

CHORUS:

Due to the state of my handwriting
I never was in love (X2)

I have found that my handwriting lets me down
Word by word i systematically drown
I hide the truth in-between the lines
My thoughts are blurred, cryptically defined

CHORUS TWO:

The rules of the game seem to change a lot
When they're illegible (x2)

The moment scrawled, exploded over the page
Hides what I felt in another age
So I return decipher ink stain and scrawl
And I recall that I was never here at all...

CHORUS THREE:

Due to the state of my handwriting I never was in love (x3)

I never was in love, I never was in love

about

Lightning Dept. Brighton, UK

Lightning Dept. was all started by the misreading of a shop sign. Written over a 3 week period and recorded in just 3 days, 'things KEEP blowing UP' is a fresh, icy blast of pop magic. The bands love of Weezer, Lemonheads and Guided By Voices shines through on this 15 track album which is all over in 32 minutes of clipped majestic indie rock.
Look out for the CD and digital release in March 2012.
