(Sullivan/Morrow/Heaton) 1984 Ch: Four o'clock in the morning and still we cannot sleep Turning over turning round, twisting in our sweat They say there is no rest for the wicked ones Dear God what have we done? There is no rest for the wicked ones Dear God what is this evil that we've done? Is it that we wanted more than you gave? Why did you put us then in this smalltown grave? Humility - is that what you want? Why did you make us then the way you did?

Yes we have pride - is this our sin? Is it the times that we've been out fighting? Well I'll tell you all those times - we never really hurt anybody Or is it that we were eating While other people were starving? Is this our crime?

Ch: Four o'clock in the morning and still we cannot sleep.. Is it the times we laughed about it all Through all those whisky nights so far away? Yes, we betrayed you - is this our crime? Published by Attack Attack Music/Warner Chappell Music Ltd • •.

Sacrificing the experimental post-punk doodling that worked so well within defined songs on the first LP strangely enough works here for this incredible band that won't hear any malarkey about how bad second LPs are supposed to be. A more direct approach works wonders, rendering every song a possible single, every one a flaming, emotion-wracked foray into human thoughts, customs, and politics. And the Leveler's got some unparalleled British lyrics for this kind of statement-oriented music and tremendous songwriting on side one. 'There is no rest for the wicked ones,' he sings, like a saddened preacher, a sentiment you see again on the terrific 'Drag It Down,' like a guy standing at the edge of a pointless fray wondering why human beings are always so stupid. But he's also capable of great empathy for the times in England as they are in the 2010s, when so many young people are struggling economically, as 'Young, Gifted and Skint' makes clear. Don't miss 'Grandmother's Footsteps' and 'Ambition,' too; you won't hear busier bass playing on a hotfoot U.K.

Post-punk rock record this year. The evidence here is that are getting even better when you might have expected the usual decline, suggesting that is an artist with great ideas you can't exhaust, and all three members have the talent to make it something other than regurgitation.
