Lyrics
Room a catacomb, this ghoul a balloon, with the breath From beneath your breast, yes that is best. Hug it to me, and the rubber raspberries With wantingly wet mouth I suck.remind me of your gentle fuck. Men to be men, must love and pity So deeply and secretly Flaccid, I asked for this Below spit rich belly pit moan and blush with hot hormone Wash it from me, this stuff sad and sticky Blub into the soapsuds, trim my 'tache and pull the plug Men to be men, must love and pity So deeply and secretly How you'd smother me, wetly whisper what you'd like And we'd be clumsy as virgins in vigil light

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 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.
