hook/
love love love on the surface
i can see your love don't go past the surface
thinking what a nigga did to deserve this
like you made me fall much deeper on purpose
i know i know i know i know i know you ain't perfect, but the way heart bleeds for you is worthless i can't step away no more cah you worked it, but it never goes any deeper than the surface, surface surface.

verse 1/
you musta thought i’d never step aside side
i’d wait for you but right now it just aint the time, time.

you never gimmie all your heart, shes tryna leave me in the dark, no other fishes in the sea but tryna feed me to the sharks i don't understand your love, that's why i'm out ere singing songs, and till this day you chat to me like you ain't ever done no wrong it aint good enough.

bridge/
it just wasn't good enough x 8


hook/

verse 2/
i can see the love on the surface fear in the inside i can see the tear prints when it's dried you can see the distance but it might come up like fierceness in disguise, now u wanna tear into my life, and i might tear into yours too if i ain't indifferent bout this fight but it's like...

everytime you tell me i'm worthless, makes me question how u birthed this, makes me question if i matter, and it's been a hard thought to capture, make a nigga cold in the inside, then i don't wanna know what you feel inside, at least you taught me how to neglect in ur defence.

bridge /

i know, i know, i know, i know, i know, i know, x4

outro.

“A refrigerator full of waving banners loses power and the temperature starts to rise.” — SMALLALBUMS

Premium Leisure’s Chris Barker – singer songwriter, musician, producer and engineer – has a very clear idea of what he wants his sound to be. A gifted guitarist and songwriter, he honed Premium Leisure’s sound in his home studio in suburban Oxfordshire where he and his bandmates grew up. His attention to detail and obsession with vintage equipment and analogue recording techniques give the sound an authenticity that’s more fitting to 1968 than 2018. The mix of experimental guitars and undulating rhythms are reminiscent of late 60s English psychedelic rock with a bit of early Tame Impala or White Denim thrown in. But really the vibe is wonderfully, refreshingly distinct. It’s pure Premium Leisure. 

The EPs opening track “Water Pistol” is a show stopping song about narrow minds and recklessness in small towns. There’s a pounding, sometimes menacing beat leading you through a neighbourhood of foolish small-time crooks who think they are hard with their water pistols but really all they do is make their mothers cry. At nearly six minutes long with overdriven, fuzz guitar solos culminating in a cacophony of distortion and feedback, “Water Pistol” has all the ingredients of a toe tapping, hip thrusting, epic psychedelic rock track. 

Premium Leisure’s songs comment on the contradictions and irony of everyday life. “Gold Tunes” has Chris’ characteristic guitar groove, a bluesy rock track about the deeply felt, beautiful experience of hearing songs that have been lovingly and thoughtfully crafted versus the mass market, meaningless expressions we often hear. It’s light and upbeat with a message to never lose direction when seeking enjoyment. This theme is continued on “Daydream Drive” a mellower, Beatles-esque track about a simple man who’s living safe. He’s not directed by the moon or the stars, the spiritual or the romantic; life’s riches. He admirably guards against having “no time to kill and calls coming out his ears,” but he’s a man starved of his inner Mozart or Mondrian. But hey, maybe he doesn’t know he’s hungry, maybe he is happy sleeping on Daydream Drive? 

Premium Leisure’s songs are twenty-four carat, they direct you to that exciting, indefinable place where great art thrills. With just one listen you are taking notice, your body moves and your soul swells; these are the “Gold Tunes”. 

Oxfordshire has certainly spawned a band of immense integrity and talent. What a treat to get them on tape.

“Water Pistol has the same silky guitars, crisp rhythms and smooth falsettos of the best of psychedelic rock.” — Born Music

~*~ While climbing the mountain that is my second album (trying to finish songs that have been with me for a while) I took a detour and wrote "Love doesn't have to come at such a price".

It is the first song I have recorded with my new best friend, a 1970s Bentley piano. Writing and releasing a new tune in the space of a few weeks is not something I'm known for, but I just had to tell the universe how I was feeling. Love KM ~*~

Lyrics:

Give me your darkest kind of love
Give me a drug I can’t give up
A blinding, deafening kiss
Give me a reason not to exist

Young thing, you know what I want
The sweet relief of a cut
A wound that keeps on giving blood
Well I just can’t get enough

When will I realise
Love doesn’t have to come at such a price
Love doesn’t have to cut like a knife

Now the angels have appeared
Show me the golden frontier
Where bitterness is swept away
And the doves break from their cage

My senses rush back to me
I was blind but now I see
Pull the rope from my wrists
I've served my time, now let me exist

For I have realised
Love doesn’t have to come at such a price
Love doesn’t have to cut like a knife
