Album Review: Wild Beasts - 'Smother'
By drawing out the dark side of sex, the band have made a masterpiece
In 1993, journalist Auberon Waugh established the Bad Sex In Fiction Award while editor of London’s distinguished Literary Review . It was intended to draw attention to what he called the “crude, tasteless and often perfunctory use of redundant passages of sexual description in contemporary novels, and to discourage it”.

Wild Beasts - Smother Lyrics
Wild Beasts - Lion's Share Lyrics
I find you hid in Mirrorville
Creature of the deep
Waifish as a widow
And without sufficient sleep
Wild Beasts - Bed Of Nails Lyrics
I would lie anywhere with you
Any old bed of nails would do
Ink up the wound for a cruel tattoo
A big old red heart with an anchor stuck through
Wild Beasts - Deeper Lyrics
The breakfast is all laid out
Waiting on you to arrive
The sun just risin'
And going down again
Wild Beasts - Loop the Loop Lyrics
Oh, don't you think
That people are the strangest things?
Design of desire
Means all that the heart requires
Wild Beasts - Plaything Lyrics
New squeeze, take off your chemise
And I'll do as I please
I know I'm not any kind of heartthrob
But at the same time, I'm not any sort of sloth
Wild Beasts - Invisible Lyrics
I see our enemies, I see them on their knees
Crawling across the floor, you killed them all
Outside our door, the gaping hole
Into which all will fall
Wild Beasts - Albatross Lyrics
Albatross, albatross
How callous the ocean you cross?
I, I blame you, I blame you
Wild Beasts - Reach a Bit Further Lyrics
I was angry and brash as a bull
You were devastatingly beautiful
I was crude, I was lewd, I was rude
I was not in the mood
Wild Beasts - Burning Lyrics
I'm saved, you pull my fingers out the dirt
You pluck me wriggling from the world
I'm saved, you cast me up into the wind
You shook my body from the skin
Wild Beasts - End Come Too Soon Lyrics
Brake some bread
Nights dingles with the neverendingness
But nonetheless
End come to soon
