Taken from Bored At My Grandmas House's debut album SHOW & TELL

BORED AT MY GRANDMAS HOUSE - Show & Tell

When I wrote “If I Was No More” I was in a really dark place, and it was a painful one to write. It’s not easy to talk about that headspace where everything got so heavy that part of me craved to no longer be there to bear it. It’s a scary thought, one that comes with a lot of guilt and shame. Out of all the songs on the album this one is the one that feels the hardest to share, even now, from the other side. But it’s also one of the best songs I have ever written and it’s an important one to share. With this one music does what it does best - express those things that words alone can’t carry.

If I Was No More

From its popping bass intro, Patriot Parade builds until you think it can’t build any more - then goes even harder. It’s an anti-racist protest song, satirising populist demagogues and their followers. Recorded in London UK, the sound mashes punk, grunge and Britpop; think QOTSA meets Blur. The single is part of a debut album launch, backed by live shows, PR agency support, and a digital marketing campaign.

Be Made For Me

Love Her Anyway

Lyrics:
Touch hands with your best friend
Oh no it started again
It won't leave me alone
All I want is to know what you're feeling

Now they're calling me labels
Colours til the day falls
I wanna know what you're doing tonight
Are you alright?
Or am I asking too much
Or is it not enough?
I can't keep this up

But I know that you like the feeling
When you got me dancing on the ceiling

We're gonna move to LA on Christmas day
Fly to the moon or at least in my head
I think I wanna go home right now
Cause you're making my head spin around

Looking at your photographs, time well spent
Oh no it started again
So don't text me at all cause I will fall again

I said a call? She won't be able
Cause she's feeling unstable
My head hurts tonight I need more sunlight
Of course, her story said otherwise
She said does the number 3 go past yours tonight?

But I know that you like the feeling
When you got me dancing on the ceiling

We're gonna move to LA on Christmas day
Fly to the moon or at least in my head
I think I want to go home right now
Cause you're making my head spin around, spin around

We're gonna move to LA
We're gonna move to LA
We're gonna move to LA
Cause you're making my head spin around

Does the number 3 go past yours tonight?
I'm just coming back I thought we could catch up
Cause you're making my head spin around

We're gonna move to LA
We're gonna move to LA
We're gonna move to LA on Christmas day
Fly to the moon or at least in my head
I think I want to go home right now
Cause you're making my head spin around, spin around

We're gonna move to LA
We're gonna move to LA
We're gonna move to LA
Cause you're making my head spin around, spin around

Move to LA

LOVE IS OVERRATED

A slightly melancholic, lighters-in-the-air meditation on friendship and loss.

SugarFüt - Mirrors

in my world

It tastes so good
It hits the spot
It tastes so good
It feels so hot

Taste it good
Taste it well
Make it scream
Make it tell

It Tastes So Good
It Tastes So Good

It loves you
It loves you good
It wants you
It wants
You should

Kiss it
Kiss it hard
Kiss it
Taste it hard

It Tastes So Good
It Tastes So Good

Make it melt
Make it cream
Make it hot
Make it seem

It Tastes So Good
It Tastes So Good

Make it melt
Make it cream
Make it hot
Make it seem

It's in love
With your heart
It's in love
It's time you start

It Tastes So Good
It Tastes So Good
