Sleaford Mods share "I Can Tell" lyric video from new EP

sleaford-mods

Sleaford Mods release their new T.C.R. EP on Friday (10/14) and they’ve just released a lyric video for “I Can Tell” from it. Like most of their tracks it’s based around a deceptively simple groove, but one that worms its way into your head. Railing against the “one percenters,” it’s one of the Mods’ catchiest songs to date. Check out the video (and the video for T.C.R.’s title track) below.


“I CAN TELL” lyrics

I can tell
this barrel you’ve got me bent over
Was it pulled from your pork cellar
In your lovely little house

I can tell
When taverns raise the glass for no one
No point trying to use your colon
I see it coming out your mouth

Monday streets
The wet and bus stops get done over
By the youthless clubs on shut down streets the 1 percenters know, I do

It’s just as well
I could be 25 years older
Shuffling into paper slippers i catch the 42 to hell

Noddy’s streets ain’t the same
When you get older
No nutrition and the bold
Are figments eaten by the cold

It’s just as well
I could be 25 years older
Shuffling into paper slippers i catch the 42 to hell

I just hope, I just hope everything gets pulled apart and pushed gets pulled apart and bust gets pulled apart

I can tell

You believe you be thinking that
You got it but your para like the rest of us who squirm in bank transfers

Leytonstone or a village out near
Stoke on Trent we move in ways in we don’t invent I mean it’s bitter all the time

Monday streets
The wet and bus stops get done over
By the youth less clubs on shut down streets the 1 percenters know, I do

It’s just as well
I could be 25 years older
Shuffling into paper slippers to catch the 42 to hell

I just hope, I just hope everything gets pulled apart and pushed gets pulled apart and bust gets pulled apart
I can tell

Got para then pissed bouncing off taxis trying to get sniff I didn’t get it but I did, complementary white wine slid down my lid, I got munched up hardcore, the train roared so did I, I was pie eyed
