Lyrics :
ON EDGE
(Alba/Johnson/Tcherneyan)
This life winds me up too much
I am taut as a wire
And the pressure's building up
I am up to the neck
I am cut to the quick
I am stuffed to the gills
I am sicker than sick
You think you know me
But you don't know me
You get a version
You cast aspersions
My back is up
But you'd never know
I hide it well
It doesn't show
This life winds me up too much
I am taut as a wire
And the pressure's building up
I'm a pot on the boil
I'm a trap on the spring
I am pushed to the brink
I could pull out the pin
From the album, 'Ovations.' Produced by Gareth Parton.

Wow, just came across this link while listening to some Four Tet. Great stuff, off to buy some of your MP3s now.

This song has helped me get threw some devastating moments in my life. It helped me vent in a time of tragedy and for that I am thankful. Thank you Piano Magic, truly...

The energy in this song simply kicks ass. And a nice edgy video to go along with it. I don't care if he sounds like Barney Sumner or other obvious 80s influences, I liked that music back then and I still like it! Plus anyone who works with Brendan Perry (You Never Loved This City, etc.) has got to be a cool bloke. Thumbs up from me.

@mojorising30 Are you basing this just off of this track? If so, please listen to full album. I think it is his best stuff since Artists Rifles.

If you're defining "song" by the conventional - ie, verse/chorus, etc then this is probably not the band for you. They have always been much more progressive than that.
I agree that they are obviously inspired by some music from the 80's but a) I don't think that's a bad thing as long as the influences are good ones b) I strongly disagree that their music is not original. They've consistently been changing direction since they started - far more than most other bands I could mention.
