    'We Can’t Stop What’s Coming' V2 was manufactured following the overwhelming demand for vinyl editions of the orginal version for Record Store Day 2017. To preserve the collectors value of the more rare 'Record Store Day' black vinyl first edition, V2 is pressed on old English white vinyl and is minus the etchings on the b-side.

    To refocus attention back to what this song was really all about, and its dedication to the late Andrew Johnson, we donate 50% of the profits from all website sales of V2 to St Nicholas Hospice in Suffolk, who cared for Andrew at the end of his life.

lyrics

So here you live
Trapped inside the days
Your pen moving across the page
Back to where? It has begun
Uncoiled, unspun
What you were, what you will become
The days, setting with the sun

Wake up it’s time to go
The taste of tears still in your throat
Silence from your songs
Reminds us, when you are gone
We can’t hate the river for flowing
Can’t blame the wild wind blowing
Can’t slow time from running
We can’t stop what’s coming

The bonfire is burning
The bird returning
An owl by night
A mourning crow
Inside a shadow that grows
A darkness in the darkness
A stranger on the shore
Outside your window
Knocking on your door
When there is rain it pours
‘Til there is pain, no more

Wake up it’s time to go
The taste of tears still in your throat
Silence from your songs
Reminds us, when you are gone
We can’t hate the river for flowing
Can’t blame the wild wind blowing
Can’t slow time from running
We can’t stop what’s coming

THE THE image

THE THE England, UK

THE THE was formed in 1979 by Matt Johnson. His genre is all his own: it is music of long shadows, high hopes, channeled anger, feverish passions and sweetly disturbing poignancy. It is pop and rock, blues and folk, soul and polemic. It spans alienated electronics to twisted cinematic soundtracks, guitar tumbling swing to crimson ballads, rants and prayers to diaries and hymns. ... more
