lying on the grass your hands on my ass you’re lying to me like I’m trash you smell her on your jumper but you’re jumping for joy as I jump to conclusions but when first i saw your room it was easy to assume your floor was littered with pictures of rappers and condom wrappers you ask me whats the matter when you've painted the walls with baby batter i'll just drinkster the pinkster and all of these things go away go away rainstorm of gin brings out the tears within you think that's purely substance abuse but that's just an excuse the alcohol has taken it's bitter toll i can’t thinkster the pinkster it's taken my thoughts away chorus

self care 02:32
self care i like to make face masks early in the day i feel like they exfoliate my troubles away people say using a face mask is gay but I’m feeling great anyway self care this is not self care! i thread my own eyebrows that takes balls to do i cut myself shaving in order to go out raving self care i’m at the spa i don’t know where i am i don’t know what the time is i'm so relaxed i'm comatose self care

Sitting in my five bedroom house Eating some Waitrose Essentials grouse I feel marginally sad So my mental health must be really bad Permanently dissatisfied I’ve got no pride Middle class angst personified I’ll probably say “I got over it” so why can’t you too? I don’t see depression like you I only see it as feeling blue Permanently dissatisfied I’ve got no pride Middle class angst personified

Chorus: All we want is the l love of a mother Don’t need it from any other Oh I’m missing the love of a mother I don’t think I can recover Yeah, my sister my father my brother We’re all missing the love of a mother Did you know? Attachment is during a critical period Well that number is not a myriad Needs to be at 2 years old Yet you, to me, were so cold Chorus continuous care is essential to reach my full potential and lack of attachment leads abnormal development Chorus You love my friends we’re basically the same What’s different between me and them Is it because i watch anime? Do you love sophia more? Is it because she mops the floor? So what she bought her own mop from that shop Chorus I use to try too I went on rhymezone

this summer 03:03
Last Monday I had exams Next day spent popping xans After that I danced around Trying to get my life rebound I threw up maybe twice that night Somehow wake up not feeling shite Don’t know how I got home - that's fine Time to repeat with a girl whose mine This summer I'll be free for the last time in my life Call me Hefner watch me fuck our wife As my teacher she’ll give a free trip to France City of Paris where we’ll be and dance This Monday all I did was stay at home Socialising was chatting to friends on the phone Wondering which call will be the last What a change from the week that just went past This summer I’ll be free for the last time in my life No responsibilities consequences before life's a strife But should I get myself in check now or should I postpone Knowing full well at some distant point I must atone

about

complete amateurs UK

we are a post-good band, creating purposeless music that avoids the inherent contradiction in traditional music- music is subjective, but it aims to sound good. we allow the listener to hear the performer in an authentic moment in time, following in the footsteps of the portsmouth sinfonia.

this is realised by recording in one take, and being a bit shit.
