Nine hours passed and how long will it last
Said the man with the plan and a gun in his hand.
He's scared but prepared it might be as he feared,
Are they still in control, and safe behind the wall.
This evening's too quiet, oh we need a real riot
To shake and to break and to bite like a snake.
We're stuck in this attic so bored and so static,
Tomorrow they'll ask us to throw off our masks.
But the storm is a'coming 'cross the hills tonight,
Like a vein full of rain to the hearts that should fight.
The storm is a'coming 'cross the hills tonight,
Like a vein full of rain to the hearts that should fight.
Mary's like me, she's a loser to be,
Got a lock on her door and a bed on the floor.
You will know they will win and then they'll come in.
There's nothing you could say to lead them astray.
We still live in silence like sworn threats of violence.
I long for an end and it's coming round the bend.
If we live through this night and we'd still be allright.
We'd flee to Siam or a bar in Amsterdam.
But the storm is a'coming 'cross the hills tonight,
Like a vein full of rain to the hearts that should fight.

Yep, that sums it up nicely. More bonkers than a swingers club, more nuts than Planters, more fun than a barrelful of monkeys. Stonking! 9 from the barmy Nottingham jury.
See this video for the grrlz giving it large live.

sounds like squirrel nut zippers and gogol bordello got together and hired a bunch of female singers.

Anne, Marianne, Solveig and Turid sound like they're having a great time! I bet their live shows are fun!
Hell jah!
is this an eurovision song?
This is crazy! I really like the chorus, but the rest is all over the place.
Those Katz(en) are really jamm(er)ing!
saw them live in Cologne this summer - that was GREAT fun!
All of the four are multi-instrumentalists - playing more than 30(!) different instruments during that gig in turn, changing them song by song - this alone makes seeing them very worthwile.
After the gig we were like "i think the one that played the bass on the opener doens't play piano - or maybe i just missed it"
(This peaked in one of the girls on one song playing an accordion, a harp and a xylophone - all at the same time!)
For that fact alone they deserve at least a 9!

Hai!
Nearly 3 hours into a 12 hour shift, less than 5 hours of sleep in the last 24... Yep, this is what I needed to perk me up. Well, this plus coffee.
Do they have any up-tempo songs?
Off the wall Haiii!

I saw these guys at Summerfest in Milwaukee in July 2009. Very different, and they were quite well received by a diverse crowd.
Love the music. This song is great, but has a little much repetition.

Whoah! This is more fun than a barrelful of monkeys, and has more zip than the YKK factory! Of a style with Squirrel Nut Zippers. Love the horn. 8 from the toe-tappin' Nottingham jury.
