Rich elite playing rent a womb Because they are too busy to carry Too skinny to carry Too happy to source an empty river And drink from it without prayer Too busy to grow your baby in your own belly What the fuck you gonna do Once it’s here? But we have time for the [...]

On a night train Watching out the window Obviously seeking reflection Find yourself In all things That’s narcissism Find all things within yourself Slag! Only way up Is resurrection Walked all these roads alone And only now You need protection? Anyway, what do you Get back from the double glaze? A slipping do And a [...]

When you’re constantly being motivational You’re reminding everyone how shit it is on repeat Asking me to hold on, to push through To wait for you to come and defeat The evils that wait on toe round every corner’s crease It’s lovely what you’re saying Lyrical and deep Fluffy, soft and seeped in trope You’re [...]

You said it was the same pain as loss And you’ve lost a lot You’ve proved to be all those things You said you was not In weak moments, though I misdiagnosed you as gone So I know that torture like a twin And recently I stopped trying To destroy everything I ain’t remedied by [...]

Not one original thought or experience Cloudy reflections from that mirror kiss I appreciate you probably do enjoy getting your fingers in And there’s so much money you’re bringing in But the last seven songs on this LP told me that story I’ve heard you rapping, speaking, farting and singing it The twenty other man [...]

That thing Where you smile And look At the people you’re with To see if they feel The joy The moment’s give Or if it was just a blip Everyone else missed You drink it in Suck that starlight And grin The glance ain’t returned But reciprocity Ain’t everything I keep waiting for you to [...]

I was unconditional back then You would’ve loved me I’d have been fine being treated like shit Ignored and pining And just so up for it When I was little I didn’t know love Only what I thought could be cool Fucking hell I was barely out of school Punted round Sloshing drinks I’d downed [...]

Oh, to be young and slutty again Then I’d not feel cold like this But one quid just to hang my coat Did kind of take the piss Especially when I had scarf and cardi Gloves and snood and muffs That didn’t half put me out of pocket Especially after blowing dough on the good [...]
