Lyrics
Better son, better son I know I should have been a better son Makes me feel like the one, the one Surrey, surrey Sat in the dark in his latter days Makes me feel pretty strong, strong Ha, ha, hey Balling upon the laudanum Ha, ha, hey Balling upon the laudanum Ha, ha, hey Balling upon the laudanum Ha, ha, hey Balling upon the laudanum Murder, murder You said you're too soft for murder Makes you feel pretty strong, strong Can't lay, can't lay Mother of two kids from Adelaide Makes you feel pretty strong, strong Ha, ha, hey Balling upon the laudanum Ha, ha, hey Balling upon the laudanum Ha, ha, hey Balling upon the laudanum Ha, ha, hey Balling upon the laudanum Medicine, medicine I know that I need some medicine But it won't make me feel strong, strong Holiday, holiday I know you want to go on holiday But it won't make you feel strong, strong

IDLES release a new version of 'POP POP POP' featuring Danny Brown after their Glastonbury collaboration.
While yeah, they do lay it on thick, they also lay it on well.
It marks IDLES' second appearance on CBeebies in recent months.
They're mashing it up with Peaches' 'Fuck The Pain Away' and The Chemical Brothers' 'Elektrobank'.
New album 'TANGK' came out earlier this year.
With ‘TANGK’, IDLES are redefining the punk ethos for a new era
New album 'TANGK' is set to drop this Friday (16th February)
The single is from their new album 'TANGK'.
The dates are in support of their new album 'TANGK'.
They've also shared new single 'Dancer',
It comes after the band received two GRAMMY nominations for their fourth album, 'Crawler'.
The band shared a new ‘making of’ video giving fans an inside glimpse into the recording sessions with producer Kenny Beats.
The 5th-anniversary rerelease will arrive on December 9th via Partisan Records.
The ‘Dance Fever’ LP was originally released in May via Polydor Records.
“‘Come On Down’ was originally recorded during the Atlas Vending sessions but never fully finished,” METZ’s Alex Edkins explains.
The band are about to play Boardmasters and APE.
The tickets will be available via a prize draw that costs £10 to enter.
Their last album saw them take off in a way no one expected - so what’s next for IDLES? The band have a sit down just before the release of their (now) No.1 album, 'Ultra Mono'.
Idles understand that sometimes it feels as though everything’s in the shitter, but they’re going to try their best to make a difference anyway - and you can too.
