Bury!

Original UK release
First released on 17 April 2010 on Domino Recording Company 7": RUG363

01. Bury! #2+4 (Smith/Spurr) 3:45  Lyrics

I'm Not from Bury
I'm Not from Bury, man
I'm Not from Bury
I'm Not from Bury, man

Stop messing around, pal
I'm wolverine
I'm from Bury
A French Prince, I said

This song means something
Every song means something
Automatic
Swap again
Bills
I got bills
I got bills
On my elbows
And two kids to go with it
(?)

I'm On
I'm On

All that road is battle
Battle plan
I'm from Bury, as in Bouree
A French composition
On a fluted instrument
I can, I can

I can make strong lands
Rendering, writing off
Of the milk of my elbow
Re. folders left-handed CD

And you will suffer all of the seasons
On the sides of municipal buildings
And used to stop drafts
In glass fronted AERT homes

And one day a Spanish king
With a council of bad knaves
Tried to come to Bury

A new way of recording
A chain round the neck
Ding, off he trots
You can't say anything nowadays
I said if
I'm from Bury

Don't mess me around, pal
I'm wolverine
I'm from Bury
A French Prince, I said

This song means something
Every song means something
Automatic
Swap again
Hit it!

And two kids to go with it

I'm Not from Bury
I'm Not from Bury, man
I'm Not from Bury
I'm Not from Bury, man

Is the artistic Mark in fact
Got rid of vermin
Like the grey squirrels
By reading out
Ben Marshall's articles
or user recordings
on his vile manufacturing community

I'm from Bury

02. Cowboy Gregori (Smith) 3:28  Lyrics

You heard about unseen knowledge
Now you're gonna hear the facts
And the title it was "Cowboy George"
And dreams have died in the golden age
And the bankers and unseen footage

Dreams have died in the golden age
With bankers and unseen footage
(?)
They had no unseen... seen knowledge

You've heard about unseen footage
And all the squares did take umbrage
Because they had no unseen knowledge
With bankers and unseen footage
And they hear it's really cool
Because they had no unseen knowledge

I will not do what
I've been doing what people say
They weren't sold anyway

Indian summer, it never came
And anaesthetic didn't work anyway
Ah-any other - for doing what people say
And what I was told
Anyway
Unseen knowledge
All chances will never
Over the hill

You've heard about unseen footage
I told you 'bout unseen knowledge
Turns out it was a pack of shit
Unseen knowledge and unseen facts

It is a different version/edit to the album version (which is called "Bury Pts. 1 + 3"). The back cover lists an additional track on the B-side, "O.F.Y.C./Bury 4", that is not on the record.
