Cheeky Portraits: An offering of guidance and non-judgemental advice to a less-considered self, trying to protect them from the potential dangers of their actions, and how they may imprint on their future. Jovial and irreverent instrumentation, making a serious point about online interactions and the lack of foresight.
lyrics
Should really be on display
For the ‘Instas’ to see
You're body proud
You’re beautiful
Wow
Before you feel the force of gravity
In a few years time
Is that the angle your want
Your kids to be inspired by

Own those cheeky portraits
Love yourself
Hashtag #bodyperfect
Nooses swing on carousels
As we judge ourselves

Everybody owes themselves
More than mirrors time
A classic pout
Ain't critical now
You might think back cynically
In a few days time
By then you're
Someone's late night evening private crime

Hide those cheeky portraits
Love yourself
Hashtag #whoneedsperfect
Love hearts ride the carousels
As we know too well

Spread those cheeky portraits
Not yourself
Hashtag #weownperfect
Love heart-powered carousels
Spin our souls to pearls

Oh how I feel for your daughters
Oh how I feel for you
Oh how it feels now doesn’t matter
It’s what’s is left within
Not social chatter

Ironic-pop, indie | Original, heartfelt material, combined with witty and offbeat interpretations of other people's music. They have a good sense of humour when it comes to the darkness of life.
