Their sound is DIY-driven, which involves finding out that recording the perfect handclap takes three pairs of hands and one pair of Marigold gloves. Salt shakers, radiators and the sound of zipping flies have also been used in their recordings.
Terra Firma
Franc Moody Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a thousand feet and climbing
Never goin' back, never comin' down
Never goin' back, never comin' down
Never go back, never go down
Never go back, never go down
Never go back, never go down
Never go back, never go down
Never go back, never go down
We're shiftin' into higher gear
And we can see that gold don't disappear
Never goin' back, never comin' down
Never goin' back, never comin' down
Never go back, never go down
Never go back, never go down
Never go back, never go down
Never go back, never go down
Never go back, never go down
Never go back, never go down
Terra Firma

Never go back, never go down
Never go back, never go down
Never go back, never go down
Never go back, never go down
Never go back, never go down
Never goin' back, never comin' down
Never goin' back, never comin' down
Never goin' back, never comin' down
Never goin' back, never comin' down
