Suture Nostalgia

I am selling you a lie
a snakeoil salesman,
I ride into your town
stocked up with stolen supplies
dropping preset loops into his tracks
- but I stitch it together
where's the artistry in that?
- how I suture nostalgia
he's a talentless hack
- I am a collagist, a collector
he's a talentless hack
- that's my story and I'm sticking to it
a snakeoil salesman,
I ride into your town
stocked up with stolen supplies
I am selling you a lie
I am selling you a lie

Hiss

Once I focus on the hiss it's hard to tune it out
hard to hear anything else
when I am freaking out
when I
when I am freaking out
when I am freaking out
I am fine I'll tell myself
"I am fine" - but I'm freaking out
and the hiss is too damn loud
the hiss is so damn loud
I try to stop,
I try to fix,
I try to deal with this
but all I can hear is the hiss
stricken with fear of death
while listening to One Direction
correlation or causation?
cortisol and palpitations
I am fine I'll tell myself
I am fine I'll tell myself
"I am fine" - but I'm freaking out
and the hiss is too damn loud
the hiss is so damn loud
I try to stop,
I try to fix,
I try to deal with this
but all I can hear is the hiss
I try to stop,
I try to fix,
I try to deal with this

all I want is an ambient-folk boyfriend
who'll sing me close mic'd sweet nothings
over fingerpicked guitars
and sad boy synth pad swells
all I want is an ambient-folk boyfriend
all I want is an ambient-folk boyfriend

Kiss Of Death
01:15
|

|
stopped writing songs for my friends
it was like a kiss of death
I watched them drift away
or move away
how I wrecked my vocal cords
for people I don't talk to any more
I watched them drift away
or move away
stopped writing songs for my friends
(how I wrecked my vocal cords)
stopped writing songs for my friends
(how I wrecked my vocal cords)
I watched them drift away
or move away
(people I don't talk to)
I watched them
I watched them drift away
or move away

the cheapest bottle of wine I could find in the tesco express -
that's how we do when we know that we only want to get in a mess
I'll bring the nasty soave
boy
you bring the nasty nasty
boy
I'll bring the nasty soave
boy
that's how we do when we know that we only want to get in a mess

fell face down on the concrete;
you never stood a chance
how suddenly it all could fracture
tiny shards of broken glass
a fracture
how it could fracture
a fracture
how I could fracture
fell face down on the concrete;
you never stood a chance
how suddenly it all could fracture
how I could fracture

Downcycling
01:34
|

|
it's a human curse
making something worse
making something into something lesser
it's a human trait
taking something great
and then watching it degrade, hooray
I have been downcycling
contaminating everything
a perpetual worsening
it's a human curse
the material weakening
degrading and defunctioning
I have been downcycling
making something worse
I have been downcycling
contaminating everything
a perpetual worsening
it's a human curse
the material weakening
degrading and defunctioning
I have been downcycling
making something worse
I have been downcycling
contaminating everything
a perpetual worsening
it's a human curse
the material weakening
degrading and defunctioning
I have been downcycling
making something worse

Live With It

(I am not the way I wanted to be,
I am not the way I want to be)
as a child they filled your head
with ideas that you were meant for some kind of greatness
but now you're meant to pay your rent
they said you could achieve it all
they said you could be anything you wanted
they said you could achieve it all
I am not the way I want to be
oh but I will learn to live with it
I will learn to live with it

took a first aid course spent three longs days learning all the ways a body could break
took a first aid course spent three longs days in a spiralling mental state
a body is a burden
is a curse
is a liability
(sing it with me!)
a body is a burden
is a curse
is a liability

These kids are leaving town
And they won't be coming back one day
They burn fingers on coffee
And nudge the cars
As they reverse into the bay
And now it's over
Now it's done
Our literature
Just got more dumb
There's always one more stop
We can alight
We won't concede the night
(We won't concede the night
We won't concede the night
We won't concede the night
We won't concede the night)
These kids are leaving town
And they won't be coming back
These kids are leaving town
And they won't be coming back

Seven Years In Regret

my memory,
a pelican caught in the oil spill
my memory,
a house built on contaminated land
seven years,
remember and resent
seven years,
rueful I repent
my memory,
a forest gone up in flames
a pelican caught in the oil spill
a house built on contaminated land
seven years,
remember and resent
seven years,
rueful I repent
my memory,
a forest gone up in flames
a forest gone up in flames

Earnest

|

if I'm being honest
I have trouble being earnest
too emotionally stunted to be sincere
but I try
but I try to be better
but there's still so much that I'm never gonna tell you
yeah I'm still being as evasive as ever

Dishonest Author
01:35
|
|||
|
listener, I hope you realise
that "telling stories is telling lies"
and these are but excerpts from my life
compiled and editorialised
does this make it all falsification?
a fiction of my own creation
how I curate an exhibition
through selection and omission
trying to impose some order
on the chaos we all live in
but I am a dishonest author;
apologies to B.S. Johnson...
