TISM V – Harshness, Reality, That's What It's All About / We Live in Oil

TISM V – Harshness, Reality, That's What It's All About / We Live in Oil is the fifth home demo tape by This Is Serious Mum, recorded in February 1984. 
This twelve-song demo captures TISM during their brief flirtation with experimental and industrial music, as heard on a number of selections ("Lyric for Jack", "Clarse Distinction" and "The Res-Erection") which were included on the band's publicly released self-titled demo later in the year.
Like TISM's other private demo recordings, TISM V remains unreleased in its entirety, although selections from the tape have been included on a number of official releases: aside from the three tracks included on the This Is Serious Mum demo, "Johnny to B. or Not to B. Goode" was excerpted on the band's debut album Great Truckin' Songs of the Renaissance in 1988, and an edited version of "Unknown, Unacknowledged, Unforgettable, Underpants" was included on the limited edition of the compilation Best Off in 2002. The full version of the song was included as an unlisted bonus track on the 2021 CD reissue of This Is Serious Mum.
