about

My first proper foray into lyric-writing, albeit with a lot of help from Ed and Robin. Every band needs a bitter love song and this is certainly all of those things. Former guitarist and current friend Mark Breakdown did the initial verse melody which I butchered beyond all recognition.

It kind of sounds like Weezer but that's ok because Weezer don't sound like Weezer any more.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Why are you still standing here?
Tell me what you want, I'll tell you
What I think you want to hear
It's not a lie if I believe it

Now I'm feeling all washed up
Gotta get rid of some liquid
Cos the pressure's building up
So choose pleasure or melodrama
Any way you want to do it is just fine with me
Just get it over with

She can make you smile like no one else
But she will make you want to kill yourself
You will often wonder what the hell you're doing with her

Running 'round without a care
Why didn't we (STOP!) before we
Charged headlong into despair
And then set up home in there

It was bleak and freezing and we would not go out
We lied in bed and we stared at the ceiling
Tried again but we couldn't get the feeling

He can make your heart soar high above
Then shoot you down with a Kalashnikov
You will start to think you're better off without him around
She will be the one to pass the blame
And he has lost the will to live again
People say that love is just a game
But if you play to win, you get so competitive

Like an injured racehorse, we shouldn't have watched it die
We cried so much, got filled up with anguish
Lied so much it was like a fucking language
