Rose Thou Art Sick

'Boris is partial to a party
Matt's hand's on his cock
Joseph is stuggling with a delivery
Hunter's in the China shop...'

Cafes Are Closed, Madam's Lights Are Out

Album

Waterloo Sunset (will be covered by the clouds tonight)

Released

Our first recording as a 3 piece. Enjoy.

An imperfect day
Drank vodka on the tube
Then later when it got light I crawled home

An imperfect day
Terrorists in the town
Storm clouds spitting down on Oxford Street

An imperfect day, wish I wasn’t alone
An imperfect day just walking round the town
Feeling really down

An imperfect day
Hunchback in the park
Passed me in the dark said “Go fuck yourself!”

An imperfect day
I’m haunted by you
Purple scars on my stomach turning blue

An imperfect day, wish I wasn’t alone
An imperfect day just walking round the town
Feeling really down

It’s just one of those days when nothing’s going right
And I’m left nothing, emptiness
But I know that you’ll be there on my dying day

You’ll be there on my dying day
You’ll be there on my dying day
You’ll be there on my dying day
You’ll be there on my dying day

Imperfect day
Imperfect day
Imperfect day
Imperfect day

Imperfect Day

Guess it’s true I’m too good at killing love
Married for six months then broke it off
On the church steps a single sodden glove
I’m so sorry for all the lives I’ve cut

Oh darling divorce me
From your memory
When we get money we’ll do it legally
‘til then though divorce me

Why am I so unstable
It’s not a good mode to be living in
Wasn’t ready when I stepped into the ring
Bell rang, threw the towel in

Oh darling divorce me
From your memory
When we get money we’ll do it legally
‘til then though divorce me

Divorce Me

My Heart Is In The Sea

Infinite (feat. Knowmad Spock)

I’m lying on my bed
Lost in your eyes
I’m like the moon
Lonely in the skies
You’ve been running around my mind
Upsetting everything
I don’t know what to say
So I’ll say what I think

I saw a rose
In the mirror
Stuck to my chest
Peacock feather
I never actually explained
Red wine was the drink
I don’t know what to say 
So I’ll say what I think

I’ll say what I’m thinking and I’m thinking I’m free
I’m writing to you but you’re not messaging me
You’re still my music’s muse it must be bloody absurd for ya
I’ve been chained to your ghost now for years so I’ve heard

Jesus was refused
Just like me
Satan’s an angel
Just like thee
Yet we’ll walk on the water
If only if we brace the rink
I don’t know what to say
So I’ll say what I think

Life’s whirling past me
Like drunk fire
Weddings and funerals
Priests inspire
Nobody chained me
I just fantasized the links
I don’t know what to say
So I’ll say what I think

Come and heal me healer with your magic touch
I’m actually not sure if you could save that much
I swear I can change, yes I’ll conquer all pain
I’ll never write songs of darkness again

I’ve walked through the forests 
With the nymphs
Mr Maniac
Tell me what you don’t think
Gotta take my time
Shipwreck and sink
I don’t know what to say
So I’ll say what I think

I’ve had so many lovers I’ve only loved one
She ended my life when I started the songs
Sunrise in the west, sunset’s in the east
When you’re in my desert, when you’re at my feet

I remember walking 
To your house
You stole my lion
Rest addressed a mouse
My quill only moved for you
So if I spill the ink
I don’t know what to say
So I’ll say what I think

I Don't Know What To Say So I'll Say What I Think

CLASH MAGAZINE - 'Taking the darker but more organic end of The Cure, getting some baroque pop elements on board care of some fabulous violin playing and harnassing a little Radiohead noir too.'  

NEW INDIE MUSIC - 'Classic alt/indie songcraft and performance with nods to The Cure, Radiohead and The Libertines.  Great stuff.'  

GARY CROWLEY of BBC RADIO LONDON - 'The band I've be
en waiting for.' 

BUGBEAR PROMOTIONS - 'Delightful orchestral indie with poetic lyrics. Kind of Radiohead meets The Libertines with violins and trumpets.'  

Hi guys. The band met in a London bar. We mainly tear around the city in ubers that are usually too small for our equipment to play shows that are usually too loud for any clear detection of Rob's vocals. Before these shows we often grab a falafel, have a stab at amusing conversation and, when that fails, move onto existential philosophy, animal rights and red wine. En route back to the venue we vape, smoke and compare egos. Career highlights include BBC Radio coverage and gigs for the Joe Strummer Foundation for New Music. Gary Crowley, a BBC DJ, said we were 'the band he had been waiting for', which was sweet of him. We fuse alt. rock with violins, trumpets, sizzling guitars, dark poetic lyrics and driving drums, though there's the odd slow dark number. We hope you enjoy our sounds. Why not hit ‘Like’ and 'Follow' to get our latest releases and news straight to you? Peace xx
