“To Hell in a Handjob” is track 9 from LC!’s seventh studio album, All Hell. It was released on 19 July 2024.
In the live listening party on 18 July, Gareth described the song as being “about climate apocalypse and punching fascists with your mates.”
[Verse 1]
Shuck, shedding my skin
Devil's at the door and I might just let him in
Though I love them like a brother, me and my friends are sick of each other
Little to do, a positive menial attitude
[Chorus]
An ocean house upon collapsing stilts (a breaker coming)
The sky's a pall, our blooming bodies wilt (an endless nothing)
We're waiting at a waning precipice now
There's salt in all the sugar, ants under the leaves
I believe
[Verse 2]
A dawn of colours never seen, spill like tears at a memorial bench
A balm for you, a tribute to a guardian angel bored to death
Moral panic breeds goose-stepping, can't just stand by rubbernecking
Malignant noise, solid gold men to Toilet Boys
[Chorus]
An ocean house upon collapsing stilts (a breaker coming)
The sky's a pall, our blooming bodies wilt (an endless nothing)
We're waiting at a waning precipice now
There's salt in all the sugar, ants under the leaves
I believe
I said I believe!
[Bridge: Gareth, Kim]
There's grief within my flesh and bones
Cut me, watch the sorrow flow
Floating in the flood now
Floating in the flood now
One thousand memes I sent to you, emoji reacted to
This is all we've got now
This is all we've got now
[Chorus]
An ocean house upon collapsing stilts (I see a breaker coming)
The sky's a pall, our blooming bodies wilt (into an endless nothing)
We're waiting at a waning precipice now
There's salt in all the sugar, ants under the leaves
I believe
[Verse 3]
There, but for the grace of God, we all go to Hell in a handjob
Undeserved last minute winner, we're into town without our dinner
Mortal joy, so close to Heaven
If I'm first punch, you're two to seven
