Le Risque 03:34
Feel it, know it Trust in the lie you’ve been sold Oh yeah? No risk? Tell yourself whatever you need to hear To fall just right, like a dagger from a height Cause’ death to me, is a life lived safely Gimme something to thin the blood There’s nothin’ quite like diggin’ graves for fun It gets my body ringing like a bell ‘Cause I’m the fuckin’ recoil of a gun in hell Ha ha ha ha ha, alright No heart (no heart) No tick (no tick) I’m weak as piss No risk No fire (no fire) No flame (no flame) I’m always feelin’ the same The risk (the risk) It sits (it sits) At the tip of my tiny prick No style (no style) No ease (no ease) I’m a pathetic forgotten steaze Alright The risk Let’s ride The risk Well, alright The risk Oh, it’s time The risk Okay let’s ride Hello, Evil Kneviel Running through the red light Phillippe Petit, yeah Walk the tightwire Take the risk, take the risk You only live once Where softer souls do sleep In the hush of morning’s glow I rest not, I cannot I just go The risk, my muse For its focus I depend Nosedive into the ocean Do dangerous shit and transcend This world, (this world) it spins too slow Its tempo paints my world in grey My heart cannot beat fast enough The risk is technicolour paint One life, (one life) one chance (one chance) Clench the moment in your hand Adrenaline, my dearest friend, it’s me and you until the end

about

For their 26th album, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard swap the widescreen concepts of their recent albums for the intimacy of six good friends collaborating on the most bonhomie-laden set they’ve yet committed to wax. For Flight b741, bandleader Stu Mackenzie says King Gizzard “wanted to make something that was primal, instinctual, more ‘from the gut’ – just people in a room, doing what feels right. We wanted to make something fun.”

Tapping into the country-fried 70s American rock on which they were all raised – along with the ornery garage-rock roots from which their mighty discography sprang – Flight b741 is lightning caught inside a bottle. Across its 10 ragged, glorious barnburners, King Gizzard flesh out rough skeletons of songs with their inspired improvisations, inimitable grooves and a unique pass-the-mic approach to vocals that saw every member of the band raise their voice and sing. “We’re having a lot of fun, but we’re often singing about some pretty heavy shit,” Mackenzie adds, “and probably hitting on some deeper, more universal themes than usual. It’s not a sci-fi record, it’s about life and stuff. But the record is like a really fun weekend with your mates, you know? Like, proper fun.”
