I’m of the mind that makes a movie and now I’m staring at your face - watching dancing ‘round in circles of the human race. I want to add you to a prized collection - one that’s priceless and I’ll never sell. Dreams of slavery and masturbation - in this world you’ll dwell… Close your eyes now, don’t say a word - I know it hurts, you know you want it. Let me make a mould of you and hang you on my wall to keep you precious for evermore… Just slip inside this darkened hall, I’ll flash a bulb to keep me near you - the smell of something once perverted is around you. I want to touch but I cannot. I need the love that I forgot. Just angle yourself in a certain way, and I’ll draw out the air and forever you’ll stay… Close your eyes now, don’t say a word - I know it hurts, you know you want it. Let me make a mould of you and hang you on my wall to keep you precious. Close your eyes now, don’t say a word - this won’t take long, you know you want it. Let me take a mould of you and hang it on my wall to keep you precious for evermore…

The way you touch me repulses me and makes me feel like dying of something incurable. So I enclose you in a second skin and I just spend my time enjoying your company. I see your body and want to alter how you look and augment what you want to be… And when you’re complete, I’ll show you off as though you’re something special - but you’re just a piece of meat. I will make you new… I will make you whole… A creature of the heart - a minion of the soul. All you have to do, all you have to say is everything I advise you. For I am teaching you, I’m am completing you. And in the night life, the light reflecting from you making others jealous of what they see. The others want you - they want to be you but they know that their soul will have to belong to me. All you have to do, all you have to say is everything I advise you. For I am teaching you, completing you, defeating you. All you have to do, all you have to say is everything I advise you. For I am teaching you, completing you, defeating you. All you have to do, all you have to say is everything I advise you. For I am teaching you, completing you, defeating you, besieging you…

about

"So, hot off the track of writing/recording the Desolation album in 2006, I wrote Precious For Evermore. I was still using a Playstation to do the drums, and in the place of working out the sound of LS - and I was still in the process of pulling together a live band too! Everything was Myspace and LS was building a following there...

"I'd had auditions with a drummer and bass player - the drummer was working out parts in his home studio and the bass player was going through songs with me in my flat in Nottingham. However in the end, neither of them could commit to where I wanted to take LS... but on a night out seeing a band live, I came across someone who would get in touch to audition and had the right kind of attitude...

"Chris Ruscoe joined me working through the material I'd written and it was pretty exciting - we also had a mutual enjoyment of particular music, films, art and literature...

"These two tracks were debuted at the first LS live show (5th September 2008 at Junction Seven) with our new drummer Owen Walton - who had been following the progress of LS via Myspace - and the physical version of the single was released on the night we played with O Children at the Social (or the Bodega depending on when you know the venue from) in Nottingham, at which point Paul Sycamore had replaced Owen." (Simon York, Jan 2024)
