With this, their only known single, the Sharonville-based 4 piece somehow perfectly channeled the gloomy post-punk sound of the UK despite not having any real exposure to the genre. The track features a powerfully delivered vocal, with a scathing and ahead-of-its-time sound collage, all highlighting the band’s political leanings and frustration with the Reagan administration. "Lost and Gone" definitely deserves to have been a dance floor staple in the early 80’s underground club scene.
lyrics
lost
with the passing of time
the scenery and safety of our youth
gone
with a passionate crime
made to accept all they say as truth
drifting
on uncertain waves
sifting
through the dirt and graves
of our land
hope
only gets in the way
it’s better if we never have that spark
fear
wake up with it each day
and wear it like a blanket in the dark
drifting
on uncertain waves
sifting
through the dirt and graves
of our land
