In fact, their 1989 debut, Fools Game, contained a cover of Rick James' funk classic "Superfreak," featuring scratches courtesy of DJ Aaron (Pause) Vaughn. After replacing Taffer with guitarist James Sanguinetti and making Vaughn a full-time member, the band decided to embrace their funk interests for their next, and perhaps best work, 1991's In This Life. They would record three more EPs and one final full length before disbanding in 1994.
As of 2008 the band has reformed and is planning to record a new demo.

Killing Time
Mordred Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see it clear
Star dust upon my face
Why should I care
A far off hidden place
I visit there
It makes me feel safe
Help me find
My way out
Can't believe
You've no doubt
Just killing time
On nothing we depend
Shattered hopes - for the moment
We amend
You know you look the same
As my old friend
I can't recall your name
Or where you've been
You cannot take the blame
For thoughts you send
And you can't play the game
Around the blend
Help me find
My way out
Can't believe
You've no doubt
Just killing time
Until we meet again
Guaranteed - disappointment
In the end
The lyrics of Mordred's song "Killing Time" reflect a sense of melancholy and confusion, as the singer is lost and unsure of their place in the world. The opening lines compare two stars colliding in space to the singer's own sense of turmoil and chaos, with the dust upon their face symbolic of the emotional residue left behind. Despite their awareness of this inner turmoil, the singer questions why they should care and seeks refuge in a far-off hidden place where they feel safe and free from despair.
The chorus of the song, "just killing time," further emphasizes the singer's sense of aimlessness and lack of purpose. They feel as though they are simply passing the days, waiting for something to happen or for someone to help them find their way out. The mention of "shattered hopes" suggests that the singer has experienced disappointment in the past, and while they may be making attempts to amend these feelings, there is an underlying sense of pessimism.
Line by Line Meaning
Two stars collide in space
I observe two stars crashing into each other in outer space
I see it clear
The event is vivid and easy to perceive
Star dust upon my face
The debris from the collision falls on me
Why should I care
I do not have any reason to be emotionally invested in this event
A far off hidden place
I have a secret location that is remote and undisclosed
I visit there
I go there periodically
It makes me feel safe
This place brings me a sense of security
Stops the despair
It relieves my feelings of hopelessness
Help me find
Assist me with discovering
My way out
An escape from a difficult situation
Can't believe
It's hard for me to accept
You've no doubt
You do not have any skepticism
Just killing time
Biding time with no clear direction
On nothing we depend
We are not reliant on anything
Shattered hopes - for the moment
Our aspirations are destroyed, but only temporarily
We amend
We fix or repair the situation
You know you look the same
You appear identical to someone else
As my old friend
As someone I used to know
I can't recall your name
I don't remember your name
Or where you've been
I'm unsure where you've traveled or lived
You cannot take the blame
You are not at fault
For thoughts you send
For the ideas you communicate
And you can't play the game
You cannot participate in this activity
Around the blend
Being part of the group
Until we meet again
We will reunite in the future
Guaranteed - disappointment
Disappointment is certain
In the end
Ultimately
