Shake a Fist

Shake a Fist is the second song featured on the alubm, Made In The Dark.

Trivia

 * This was originally released in 2007 as a 12" vinyl single.
 * This samples Todd Rundgren's drawling: "Before we go any further, I'd like to show you all a game I made up. This game is called Sounds of the Studio, and it can be played with any record, including this one - you may be surprised." The sample is Rundgren's intro from side two of his third solo album, Something/Anything? (1972).
 * This song came about as a result of vocalist Joe Goddard, taking salvia divinorum, a powerful but legal psychoactive herb, at the Glastonbury Music Festival. Goddard then described the experience to lyricist Alexis Taylor.

Release

 * 12" vinyl

Lyrics

 * I'm ready to try this
 * There's so much to see here
 * I could be wealthy
 * With nothing to stop me


 * I'm ready to try this

(I move underwater)
 * There's so much to see here

(I eat what I slaughter)
 * I could be wealthy

(Inside a moon and palace)
 * With nothing to stop me

(Let's raise another chalice)


 * Out and out and out
 * Out and out and out
 * Shake a fist
 * And let's breathe within without


 * You said if I tried this

(I'd be teleported)
 * But when you first tried this

(Your body contorted)
 * And if this is heaven

(I might have to tell you)
 * I'm gonna give hell, just

(A quick once over)


 * Out and out and out
 * Out and out and out
 * Shake a fist
 * And let's breathe within without


 * "Before we go any further
 * I'd like to show you all a game I made up
 * This game is called 'Sounds of the Studio'
 * And it can be played with any record
 * Including this one. You may be surprised!
 * Now if you have a pair of headphones
 * You better get 'em out and get 'em cranked up
 * 'Cause they're really gonna help you"


 * That's a pure solution
 * That's my magic potion
 * That's the incantation


 * Out and out and out
 * Out and out and out
 * Shake a fist
 * And let's breathe within without


 * You said if I tried this

(I'd be teleported)
 * But when you first tried this

(Your body contorted)
 * And if this is heaven

(I might have to tell you)
 * I'm gonna give hell, just

(A quick once over)


 * I'm ready to try this

(I move underwater)
 * There's so much to see here

(I eat what I slaughter)
 * I could be wealthy

(Inside a moon and palace)
 * With nothing to stop me

(Let's raise another chalice)
