Icicle Works

The Icicle Works (also known as Icicle Works in the United States) are an English alternative rock band and were named after the 1960 short story "The Day the Icicle Works Closed" by science fiction author Frederik Pohl. They had a top 20 UK hit with "Love Is a Wonderful Colour" (1983). In the US and Canada, they had one top 40 hit, the 1984 single "Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream)". Led by singer-songwriter Ian McNabb, the band released five albums from 1984 to 1990 before breaking up in 1991. McNabb later convened a revised line-up of the band in 2006 to play live shows; this revised Icicle Works line-up still plays sporadic live dates. more »

Forgive me for the state I'm in
They cut the rope that I was climbing
Tally with incentive
You should slip down here

And taste the poison
Small fat man with case in hand,
Surveys the situation,
Brother the small price of a bicycle

Isn't mine 
We'll be watching, we'll be waiting
Heavens let you heart decide,
She's all the daughters of her father's house

See the changes, none the wiser,
Ton o'rusty dreams inside her,
All the daughters of her father's house 
You and I are old companions,

Can't resist the challenge can we?
Saw you on the television,
Nine years older up and counting,
Father drove the taxi cab,

I'd sit below the meter,
If you'd try to hail us,
We'd have passed you by 
We'll be watching, we'll be waiting

Heavens let you heart decide,
She's all the daughters of her father's house
See the changes, none the wiser,
Ton o'rusty dreams inside her,

All the daughters of her father's house 
Can't pin it down, I'm confused
Been abused but maybe not
Giv'em greed would not bite

The hand that feeds
