    THIS IS THE FIRST PART OF OUR TWO PART DÉBUT EP SET.
    Not nearly enough is known of Comtesse Martha Von Bartha to state whether she was either a sociopath or a psychopath, and in fact to do so would surely be splitting hairs. Over the course of a decade we know she gave birth to at least four children by four different fathers and that she abandoned each within minutes or hours. But back in the ‘70s and ‘80s Martha could never have envisaged the burgeoning accuracy of forensic genealogy, nor the hand of fate that would guide the unknowing half-siblings together...

Grumbling on, grumbling on, why can't you find something else to do except grumble on You don't listen to me, you don't hear a word I say, why can't you be more like the men on the radio plays. Back and forth we go All talk, to the wall Don't turn your back on me, don't turn the other way, I'm trying to speak, I'm trying to speak to you I don't want to talk right now, I have got some things to do, like push my eyes back in my head and continue to ignore you Back and forth we go All talk, to the wall Kicking off because we're tired of routine, kicking off because we can, let's make things worse Feeling like hurting you, wrap my fingers around your neck, till you're out of breath Just do it, just do it, come on I dare you, do it What is that face for? Wipe that smile up off your face Wipe that frown up off your face Back and Forth

Feel like fighting for no reason at all, it's time to get dressed and get covered in destruction They all come out a'crawling round, they all come out into the town I don't know you, but your ears I will bend, I think I love you, at least until this elation ends They all come out a'crawling round, they all come out into the town Don't know where to look Can't keep my eyes in my head anyway They all come out into the town Ohhhhh there's sick in my hair, and I want to go home but I don't know where I live Ooooohh this puzzling state of mind, that dirties up these streets of mine, it'll all be gone by morning time.

Had a bad dream, believed what I saw and now I want you to, I want you to go You looked at me with hollow eyes and now I only see your dream disguise I want you to, I want you to go I know that none of that was real but I don;t know why I feel like this I want you to, I want you to go You're looking at me in that funny way, I don't know what to say to make it go away I don't know It's really daft I know, but I'll still want you to come back I'll try to go to sleep tonight and think of all the things you do for me.

Peeling fields with cold water, can't feel our hands, look up to the sky, a flash invites the eyes We can't look back to where we came from, it will all be different now Can't comprehend it, this end to our world All of the things that have gone before, will all be dust Can't comprehend it, this end to our world Cover your mouth, the dust of everything will go in there You'll miss your cars, You'll miss your toy soldiers Can't comprehend it, this end to our world Cover your mouth, the dust of everything will go in there

Two people walking down the street, they look the same Now they are slowing right down to meet the eye No, No, don;t stop, keep walking on, oh, it's too late He sees her, she sees him, keep walking on She sees him, he sees her, keep walking on Hearts jump into their throats Little did they know, they met a long time ago, it was somewhere warm, now they are here, in the streets all pie eyed, WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF THAT? In the beginning and the end, it all seemed well for a while, this narcissistic bliss Little did they know, they met a long time ago, it was somewhere warm, now they are here, in the streets all pie eyed, WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF THAT? Six degrees of separation, without the six But with a sample of their blood, it was all about to change, but with a sample of their blood, things would never be the same. No. They could no longer bask in the ignorance of what they believed to be true, everybody's eyes now decide, what it is they should do Does it change? Is it sick? Whatever it is, it's not going to be the same.
