And my dreams, have never come true So I think it's safe to say I Wish I were a woman Wrapped in grey eye Wrapped in blackest silk Neck to toe my waist and hips immaculate like an obsession The air it fits my skin... it fits My body balanced with infatuation The Body Balanced So I'm sick Sick of all the things Things that matter To me THESE DAMN GIRLS ARE ALL WRONG I wish I were a woman A speck of completion unentwined My body balanced for the sound The Body Balanced..

Confusion in my mind Confusion in my eyes What do I feel? What do you feel? Why is it? Like this? This was meant to be bliss. Not like this. Not like this. Confusion!
3.	Reflections 04:10	lyrics	buy track
Gazing in the mirror for reflection of oneself An Image of our fear sectioned on a shelf Do we see reality or the person that we wish to be? We all have our image But what is reflected May not be what it seems Our minds may be refracted... In the broken glass So many sights reflect Like these imperfections The truth hard to detect See the image coming back at you Seeing what others see Reflected in the mirror Not fitting in with the desired crowd
4.	Play Pretend 03:55	lyrics	buy track
Let's visit worlds there'll never be Science fiction or fantasy Maybe go to futures never seen Be just what we want to be Stories are there fact and fiction With exotic lands and brave people there to be told to ease the tension Of the life we live in's poor example There's more to life than just the basic facts So Let me play pretend I want sci fi dreams and laser beams So Let me play pretend I want to be told it's a mystery I want to tell the world that I want to be free Live on the things that dreams are made of And escape from the horrors of this circus of death After all this if I just can't get enough I'll go out searching for the meaning of love Use imagination in this computer world Before we're robots and our dreams are killed
5.	Yes Sir, I Can Boogie 03:41	lyrics	buy track
Mister Your eyes are full of hesitation Sure makes me wonder If you know what you're looking for Baby I wanna keep my reputation I'm a sensation You try me once, you'll beg for more Yes Sir, I can boogie But I need a certain song I can boogie, boogie boogie All night long Yes Sir, I can boogie If you stay, you can't go wrong I can boogie, boogie boogie, all night long No Sir I don't feel very much like talking No, neither walking You wanna know if I can dance Yes Sir, already told you in the first verse And in the chorus But I will give you one more chance Yes Sir, I can boogie But I need a certain song I can boogie, boogie boogie All night long Yes Sir, I can boogie If you stay, you can't go wrong I can boogie, boogie boogie, all night long Yes Sir, I can boogie If you stay, you can't go wrong I can boogie, boogie boogie, all night long Yes Sir, I can boogie But I need a certain song I can boogie, boogie boogie All night long Yes Sir, I can boogie If you stay, you can't go wrong I can boogie, boogie boogie, all night long Yes Sir, I can boogie If you stay, you can't go wrong I can boogie, boogie boogie, all night long Yes Sir, I can boogie If you stay, you can't go wrong I can boogie, boogie boogie, all night long

about

The Body Balanced is our most ambitious release to date. We have put a huge amount of time, effort (and money!) into getting this right.

We like to think we take you on quite a journey with this... from Synth Goth to industrial punk, electro ballad, new wave and cyber dance pop we've got many bases covered. We feel more than any other band around today, we offer a great variety in our music. So many aritsts seem content to stick to 'a sound'. To us music is a vast area to explore with many different experiences to enjoy.

Body Balanced - A song of unfulfilled desire and dissatisfaction at the sate of things. Sung as some unnamed, unidentified character who feels than no real person is meeting their impossible ideals of form and attitude, which are a dream-like perfection. The gender of this character having these thoughts is also open to interpretation.

Confusion - Things aren't as they are supposed to be and it's confusing. What do we feel? What does anyone feel? We explore this in a perhaps seemingly confusing chaotic mess of industrial punk, heavily inspired by Deutsche Amerikanische Freundschaft

Reflections - Almost a sequel or aftermath of Confusion. Here we explore our identity in the world. Are we what we appear to be? Do we live up to what we want to be? Are we fitting in with who we desire to be amongst. Such things frequently plague our lives. Who is that looking back when we look in the mirror..

Play Pretend - Life without art is a life not lived. We need art and creativity in order to survive. We need imagination. We need the moments where, just for a short while, we can be someone or somewhere else. We don't say ignore the wrongs of the world but sometimes enjoy time to take a break from that. Here we celebrate that and various artists who have inspired that in us, can you identify them? 4 are hinted at (in a rather plain sight way)

Yes Sir, I Can Boogie - Derek has always loved this track and decided it could be rather good fun to do it live, not realising it would actually become an absolute stonking anthem of a set finished. With a gradually increasing tempo, the ridiculous ramps up in spectacular fashion to a huge crescendo, truly transforming this camp disco classic into our own thing. An absolute fan favourite live so we felt we had to finally release it.

Confusion mix & master by Tom Henthorn

Record Producer, Recording Engineer and a Mix Engineer from Sheffield.
I produced his first album when I was 19 and developed his sound engineering skills throughout his 20s in studios like Jump Recording Studio and the much reputed Yellow Arch Studios.
In 2006, he opened up Ebb-Tone Recording Studio in Sheffield. The sound quality of the studio has improved massively because of the investment made possible by success and has lucky enough to record every kind of band in every kind of style, including now INSURRECTIONARY NEO FUTURISM

"A band half way to old school goth snagged on David, slipped in a puddle of glam; in a sense... The Clash on acid. PVC galore, glam metal hair, +makeup for days. Elektrovox.com ... more

The reason I chose The Arch House is that it got my hooked immediately. I had to listen to the rest of the album . Fantastic follow-up to the excellent Living Ghosts. A must for a fan of not just synth based music but of music. Great production, sound and a well balanced album. Coming from Sheffield I wouldn't expect anything less as it is the home to the fabulous Human League and even better Heaven 17 from the BEF days. dmyeo66
