VERSE1 We'd like to thank you for your time, for leading us here till the end of the line. Where words disappear like wind thru your ears where all the uncertain becomes clear CHORUS What can I say my brothers, brothers all around me What can I say my sisters, sisters all around We're so sorry for your loss VERSE 2 Of course our thoughts are with you and yours, they fumble the words while preaching the cause. All straining to hear your whisper again CHORUS What can I say my brothers, brothers all around me What can I say my sisters, sisters all around VERSE 3 We try our best not to forget, its the end of the world everyday. We carry on without know quite what to say CHORUS What can I say my brothers, brothers all around me What can I say my sisters, sisters all around What can I say my brothers, brothers all around me What can I say my sisters, sisters all around OUTRO Close the book, Soak the flame Click your heals Drop the glass Hedge your bets Shut your eyes and we'll try our best not to forget

The Parasite 01:55
When darkness surrounds you, and your weary and searching for life. I will come and find you, take your hand and hold it in mine. Ill lead us by the waters edge, where black waves crash out our feet. And in that darkness by the waters edge, I will begin to speak. My darling, I will, be your mind and speak your voice Ill see your sight and choose your choice, because I am your Parasite.

The Creep 04:22
All along you've been trying to hide, All along you've been trying to hide. Don't go, don't go, we're running out of time Im going down, down down, I'm gonna find you today All along you've been trying to run, All this while you've been trying to run. Don't go, don't go, we're running out of time Im going down, down down, Seems like we've just got one day Im gonna stand on your shoulders Im know the way your gonna turn I feel like a million dollars I know the end is nowhere near I got a brand new haircut Im gonna show you a real wild time You've got some things I gotta learn I'll drink your perfume till it burns Lay wide awake until you call We'll have it all in one day

The boilers gone all wrong, the linesman like to smoke and lets the train keep going, lets the train keep rolling And when it floats away, that bridge was never safe whats all the town folks say, now the towns folk pray That we, will rise on up to the sky, rest in the gaze of the lord on high, there ain't no lord on high She likes to eat the skin, to fall in love with angels of the morning, sings a while While we, will rise on up to the sky, rest in the gaze of the lord on high, there ain't no lord on high And we, will rise on up to the sky, rest in the gaze of the lord on high, there ain't no lord on high

Put your head in the dirt, and start to eat your way down. Your belly will hurt, but keep on eating it down. Wiggle like the worm, but keep on wriggling down. Till you reach the centre, you can lay yourself down. Lay yourself down Deep in the darkness, you feel your body failing. Listen to the silence, you hear the trumpets a wailing. You try to make out the sound, its getting louder now, a little louder now, its getting louder now I am the Chrysalid Born Jump up into the sky, suck in all of the air. Float, flap, hover or fly, but keep on sucking that air. When you reach the heavens, its best you don't look down. Find yourself a nice patch on the cloud, where you can lay yourself down. Lay yourself down (Im going through the strangest changes) x 2 Im am the Chrysalid Born

The Widow 02:42
You leave the light on even though Im not coming home, try to ignore the consistent drone. Starring silently at the silent phone, somethings will come back to haunt you, when your on your own. Sometimes you grab the air when you are down, some people float and some people drown some things un fold on their own Im never coming home Everybody's got a different life Everybody's gets a different death, Everybody gets a broken heart, While they're waiting g for the final breath. So close your eyes then count to three, open them up and you wont see me, but you'll still here me humming in your ear. Listen for the town, your not all alone. Everybody's got a different life Everybody's gets a different death, Everybody gets a broken heart While they're waiting g for the final breath

about

Early this year the band reconvened to inhabit a studio space. Songs came quickly and they walked away from the desk with a new record and realisation that when they were writing, recording and putting on some of the finest live shows around, they were unstoppable.

That reinforcement is tattooed on record opener, lead single and title track, ‘Takes One To Know One’. It encapsulates both a childish insult and the driving sound of classic Graveyard Train. Repeated listens of the entire LP reveals gems and oddities buried in a sublime, sometimes tortured marriage of country music, stoner rock, classic Graveyard gang vocals, haunting storytelling and the stellar musicianship that dyed-in-the-wool fans of the band have come to expect.

With their new record under their arm, and their own record label, Black Hat Rackets, Graveyard Train have paired up with revered European label Cargo Records to release the new record to a worldwide audience ahead of a national run of dates, dovetailing into a month-long European tour across July and August.

Out now through Black Hat Rackets.
