From Last Night All My Dreams Came True2017

Produced by Robbie Nelson

Lyrics

The Devil's Palace

This truly is the Devil's crayon Tracing your shoulder blades aglow like rayon This truly is the Devil's crayon That all his children use to draw In the darkened house of love I felt like I was sleeping rough The bath ran cold But this is a palace and that was a squat Baby, there's have alls, there are have nots I'm happy with what I got This truly is the Devil's answer Carved from the tongue of this romancer This truly is the Devil's answer That all his children use to kiss The past pulls faces of those who vaguely resemble love But weren't close enough And you remind me of the person I wanted to be Before I forgot Ooh, a palace Ooh Ooh, a palace A palace, it's our palace

Wild Beasts on Dork

Hayden Thorpe has announced some intimate shows revisiting Wild Beasts songs after nine years

The stripped-back solo performances mark 20 years since the band's debut single.

Wild Beasts: "'Boy King' was the sound of our final fuck flying away"

Wild Beasts were one of the many, many highlights of Live At Leeds earlier this year, and this August they're back onstage for LeeFest.

Wild Beasts: Fit for a king

Wild Beasts have rarely sounded as fun as they do on new album, 'Boy King'. "The more ridiculous it got, the better it felt," the band explain.
