lyrics

Winkity plinkity the social media entity
Grows madder and balder by the second
Scientists in Illinois frantically calculate the density
Of all the little monsters it has beckoned
And we sit in a circle pointing fingers at each other
While the walls of the temple shake
You’ve never heard a din quite like
A thousand Belgians on their bike
While the algorithm tries to work out
Which one’s fake

Oh you can’t get to Cleethorpes on a moped
And Jet skis aren’t allowed in Nuneaton
You’ll never play Carnegie Hall unless you practice
Or unless every morning you are routinely beaten
You can’t find Nicaragua on a map
Your children are refusing to clap
At the man who wants to show them all his tricks
You’re spitting at the city gates
Told to leave by moustached men irate
So you crawl back to your Doritos and brownie mix

Everyone’s a critic and are choosing what to picket
While the earth’s basic foundations have collapsed
You’ve not put the clean laundry in its place
You’ve still got war paint on your face
And all your streaming subscriptions have lapsed
And we sit in dusty rooms forgetting all we know about an abacus
Egomaniacs and nazi pets on the telly
You have never been a part of
Someone who disregards the love
Of all the individuals that got them to where they live quite comfortably

Oh you can’t get to Cleethorpes on a pogo stick
And pack a Macs aren’t allowed in Nuneaton
You’ll never play chopsticks like a pro unless you practice
Or unless every morning all your eggs are quietly eaten
You can’t find yourself on a map
Eating the chicken avocado wrap
With the lady who knows too much about mustard
You’re spinning in an endless loop
Refusing cream of broccoli soup
Till the waitress in the cafe gets all flustered

Songwriting and banging your instruments together

The main thing I love to do is write songs. I pick up various instruments from ukulele to piano, accordion to percussion and electric guitar to harmonica and bang them about to try and get close to the noises I hear in my head but the writing comes first. ... more
