Oh my, are you the best again?
Is it the violence, you like?
Oh my, I feel it crawling in, gnawing at...
and the last lonely night.
I wanna know,
Cut up the sickness,
Cutting in self-defence with the apple and ice
Skylights, bloody and cancerous
Color the dead mattress with the white,
make it white.
My eyes, I feel the teeth again
Gnawing and eminent in the last lonely night.
Oh my, give me the worms again,
painted aluminium,
make it white,
make it white.

What the living hell is "aluminium", and why would you be drunk on it?
The ancient Greeks and Romans used alum in medicine as an astringent, and in dyeing processes. In 1761 de Morveau proposed the name "alumine" for the base in alum. In 1807, Davy proposed the name alumium for the metal, undiscovered at that time, and later agreed to change it to aluminum. Shortly thereafter, the name aluminium was adopted by IUPAC to conform with the "ium" ending of most elements. Aluminium is the IUPAC spelling and therefore the international standard. Aluminium was also the accepted spelling in the U.S.A. until 1925, at which time the American Chemical Society decided to revert back to aluminum, and to this day Americans still refer to aluminium as "aluminum".
So basically, America (again) being awkward for awkwards sake.
You all should start a band. The Grateful Lead. You could open at the Palladium for Iron Butterfly. Play yur raniums out.

You make it sound as if BC is the only place stuff gets stolen. Yeah right. I'm in the good ol' USA, same shit here too.
Old post but what the hell.
BC has high property crime rates by Canadian standards but that was not the point of my post. My point at the time was that the police do not do anything.
Here's an anecdote: Neighbour in Surrey BC, affectionately known as "Better Safe than Surrey", watches a daylight B&E in progress. He quickly jots down the vehicle used by the B&E artists and telephones the police (RCMP).
The vehicle turned out to be stolen but the Surrey RCMP was too busy to attend.
The RCMP play a lot of politics here in British Columbia and they are masterful at feather-bedding. Maybe police forces do the same in the USA but I doubt it.

Claiming things are toxic is now the great big new marketing ploy of the 21st century...I see this happen real time all around me...all sorts of products bought just a few years ago which are perfectly good suddenly need to be replaced by new, more expensive "chemical free" or "natural" products...this is a ca$h cow boondoggle for the "green" entrepreneurs out there getting mega rich by scaring people...disgusting if you ask me...
What amazes about this is how these hypocrite capitalists "green" kooks are the same ones organizing the OWS protests againts "capitalism"

Welcome to British Columbia. If it isn't tied down and guarded, watch out!
If you are unlucky enough to have your automobile stolen, you might be lucky enough to have the towing truck company provide the information for the police report once they find it abandoned.

I'd iPod it for the music. The lyrics and meaning — huh? The title says 'aluminum', he sings 'aluminum.' Perhaps it's a poor-spelling exra-syllable result of too many university college alumni parties, or a close encounter with a peyote-peddling aluminum siding salesman, or that the band has been experimenting with an alchemist's aluminium as some new element that can induce better song craft.

Alumineeeee um. It's the way the brits pronounce aluminum. They contend that the other elements, like titanium, barium, cadmium, etc. all end in eeee-um, so should aluminum. eee- um. ho-hum. I'm a nerd.
Man that was a great transition between this song and Comfortably Numb.
AMAZING !

Good song. Weighty Ghost from the same album is a great song.
i immediately liked this song and then Bill played Comfortably Numb... it was such a great transition that it actually made me appreciate this song even more... i'm somewhere between 7 and 8 on this song...

Saw them in Pemberton at the festival. They flew straight from New Orleans or somewhere near there and apparently the had all their gear stolen from their van so they borrowed gear from fellow countrymen Sam Roberts and they rocked harder than anyone at the festival. The sound guys must have it dialed in 'cause I've never heard such loud guitar riffs and I was front row for Nirvana at the Forum back in the day...
Pemberton was also the 1st time I saw a Radio Paradise T-shirt... I thought it was cool and showed my girlfriend but she didn't care much :v)
Seen Wintersleep 3 more times live since. Great to hear on R.P.

Good song, but as I often complain, poorly recorded. Each drum hit, clearly hitting the distortion ceiling.

good first impression.. let's see how it grows.
What the hell is an Aluminum Falcon?
I see Canadians are spelling Aluminium properly, good on them!
Much better than tubular bells.
Incredible...I was just about to turn off Radio Paradise to listen to some Wintersleep since I'm going to the concert tonight. You read my mind, Bill!
cool.
these guys are underrated
Kinda loud. I like it.

I don´t like winter, I don´t sleep much. I dont buy things made of aluminium and I don´t fly.
This is good stuff! Never heard of them before now.

The ancient Greeks and Romans used alum in medicine as an astringent, and in dyeing processes. In 1761 de Morveau proposed the name "alumine" for the base in alum. In 1807, Davy proposed the name alumium for the metal, undiscovered at that time, and later agreed to change it to aluminum. Shortly thereafter, the name aluminium was adopted by IUPAC to conform with the "ium" ending of most elements. Aluminium is the IUPAC spelling and therefore the international standard. Aluminium was also the accepted spelling in the U.S.A. until 1925, at which time the American Chemical Society decided to revert back to aluminum, and to this day Americans still refer to aluminium as "aluminum".
So basically, America (again) being awkward for awkwards sake.
Sorry. I'm with Humphrey Davy's original name for the element. The point is not to be awkward but to honor Sir H. Davy!
