Pivotal film
Showing cloaks of rubber
Digital relay
Fingers stroking

Like mechanical lover
Critical rooms
Transparent scenes shifting

Pivotal film
Selling out your monkey
Sinful heroes
Stabbing, choking
(They must be joking)

Like mechanical lover
Critical rooms
Transparent scenes shifting

Grotesque and arrogant
Perfect for the experts
Top gold
It's cold in the morning
Where scenesters exit
Into thin air

GBV's Bee Thousand is one of my favorite all-time albums. Every single song on that one leaves this in the dust. Wondering why that albums seems totally absent from RP's playlist? 
 

Probably because no one has uploaded it.  Go for it alaken.

I wish folk would quit using "derivative" as a catch-all insult. After thousands of years of human music-making you're not going to get original sounds, so every song is going to be "derivative" of something. If you think it sucks/blows then say so, but please don't try to justify disliked with a posh but meaningless word.

Sorry for the rant, but it's a bit of a bugbear of mine ;-(

OH HELL YES. Giving me a shot of my Dayton boys just when I needed it. Rock on! More GBV, please!!

Built to spill sound
The voices changed their minds. . . they told me to give this a 3. . .

What a load of effing noise.
You say that like it's a bad thing! ;^)
"Isolation Drills" is a pretty decent album. This is not one of the better tracks from it.
And here's a tip for how to get the day off work: Call your boss and say "I can't come into work because the voices told me to clean all the guns today." Works everytime.
They have a great image but the music doesn't do much.

Sounds like they'd like to be Bowie.
