Getting colder 01 (10/1)

I always wanted to write a song that featured a steam train of a harmonica solo in the spirit of Neil Young. The song is about living life on your terms.

'Swear Jar' is the first single from our forthcoming EP 'Zero' out Friday 25 October via Dot Dash / Remote Control

'Swear Jar' is an optimistic tune about the dumb stuff we fight about in the heat of the moment, and having the patience to find out what the other person really means without judging them on the language they used initially, on the premise that hindsight is the mother of foresight.

Lyrics:

it helps to swear if you're hurt,
to scream, and kick, and curse
damning the hypocrites and liars
for what they call friendly fire
when it seemes no suture can make it better
just remember...
it helps to swear if you're hurt

even when you've done nothing wrong
the resentment is just as strong
don't punish yourself for painting fiction
for there's more to be seen in a narrowing vision

if you swear I can tell something's beating you down
we'll dig you out from your underground
it's less like a light switch and more like a dimmer
while the anger is fading, the room will get brighter
same with your language, I understand
there's a spectrum between words like fuck and damn
there's a spectrum between words like fuck and damn
there's a spectrum between words like fuck and damn
so remember...
it helps to swear if you're hurt

German Shepherds (10:20 Version)

Lyrics:

Five years
and I’m clear
I don’t remember anything I did that year
But I think fondly
of being unhappy

Why do lilies
smell so sweetly

Woozy, wounded, lovesick and sappy
So why am I
Nostalgic for a time when I wasn’t even happy

Useless teenage blues
I don’t miss you

Ten years
And I fear
I’m nowhere I wanted to be
I got student loans and a stupid career

But I miss hurting
Or feeling fucking anything

Clutching at coals, flagellating my back
Burned me and turned my heart black 
So how come
I still want that

Woozy, wounded, lovesick and sappy
So why am I
Nostalgic for a time when I wasn’t even happy

Fooly Cooly
