LYRICS
i did a bunch of drugs before i turned 21
ate two tabs once a week for a whole month straight 
don’t know if i remember what i looked like back then
when i said yes stood still head down took the bait

now enough time has passed for me to know what the fuck was up
introducing her royal highness, it’s me — i’m a royal screw up
i drive around listening to soccer mommy 
whisper i’m so sorry 
to the girl you ate alive 

and i’m not sure when it changed but i’m bored of being ashamed
i danced myself clean and i own a denim jacket now
my plants are still alive but the jade i got around you has long died
some things just suck
they aren’t always lessons either 

now enough time has passed for me to know what the fuck was up
introducing her royal highness, it’s me — i’m a royal screw up
i drive around listening to soccer mommy 
whisper i’m so sorry 
to the girl you ate alive

now enough time has passed for me to know what the fuck was up
introducing her royal highness, it’s me — i’m a royal screw up
i drive around listening to soccer mommy 
whisper i’m so sorry 
to the girl you ate alive

I've been dreading the next part
I know you’re caught between
I know your revery
I know your apathy
When I come home I wonder who you’ll be
Are we halfway crooks
Sugarcoat my looks
How can you be free when you’re only half the things
You have one foot out the door
We could have been so much more 
You have one foot out the door
I know we aren’t cool anymore
Your elastic heart in your little kingdom
Never there
Never tears
Never seems to care
You have one foot out the door
We could have been so much more 
You have one foot out the door
Why do I come back for more
It’s the way you move me

Halfway Crooks

Following up their *very* well-received 2021 self-titled debut album, Chime School are back with more perfect pop, this time on the most pop of formats, the 7" single. "Coming To Your Town" was recorded while sick with COVID and rather fittingly is a feverish attempt to describe the reactionary political moment that seemed to infect the Bay Area during the pandemic. Leave it to Chime School to pen a classic 12-string jangle pop tune about the breakdown of civil society. It's not all cats and motorbikes chez Chime School! On the flip side we have the band's lovely Brighter/Field Mice-esque take of Buzzcocks' "Love You More." Originally released on the Oakland Weekender Buzzcocks covers cassette, it's available on vinyl here for the first time.
