‘One’ is both a love song and a song about self-love. It is a song about falling in love with somebody, but more than that, it is about falling in love with yourself, so that you are finally capable of fully loving someone else. 

“You are the one, you are the one I’ve been waiting for / And I am the one, I am the one I’ve been waiting for”

About a young actor in the early 90's on his first trip to London for auditions.

Cheap Soap Audition

I hear him on the radio talking, 
I watch him on the TV news, 
Some people tell me he’s a popular fella, 
Some people say they disapprove

On the surface he’s an intellectual, 
On the surface he’s a leader of men, 
I really want to get to know him better, 
I really want to be his friend

He isn’t left, he isn’t right, 
There’s no one specific in my mind, 
He’s a preacher to the choir, 
He’s a cheater, he’s a liar

And we hate him like nobody does, 
We love him…

All he wants is a master narrative, 
Something on which he can rely and build his life around, 
He took a look at religion and bits of conflicting political thinking, 
For all it’s worth, 
And now he’s one stop on the train from his heaven on Earth

I tell you what I think he’s really not worth much more than the price of a ticket to the circus, 
But I find no one likes a visit to the circus like I do… 

He isn’t left, he isn’t right, 
There’s no one specific in my mind, 
He’s a preacher to the choir, 
He’s a cheater, he’s a liar

And we hate him like nobody does, 
We love him…

All he wants is a master narrative, 
Something on which he can rely and build his life around, 
He took a look at religion and bits of conflicting political thinking, 
For all it’s worth, 
And now he’s one stop on the train,
One stop on the train,
One stop on the train from his heaven on Earth…

Pardon me boy, 
Is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo? 
Can you afford, 
To board the Chattanooga Choo Choo?
Pardon me boy, 
Is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?

Master Narrative

Bottomless Brunch represents the resurgence of authentic, raw rock energy, taking inspiration from the gritty alleys of London while pushing the genre's boundaries. Their music delves into themes of love, loss, and relentless ambition, encapsulating the diverse and vibrant London music culture.

Pawn is about how positive emotions can overpower and warp the mind, so much so that those positive feelings become negative. How you can be so head-over-heels in love with something or someone, at the detriment of your very sanity. We have all experienced or seen this, be it a fixation with a hobby or infatuation with a lover. And if you're not careful you can soon become a pawn in someones twisted game.

Lyrics:

We are we are
We are just sculptures
We see we see
We see how you sculpt us

What do you see 
Whenever you sculpt us
Well it isn't me
I ain't not sculpture

I've been asked to intervene
I've been asked to call you out
I'm gonna have to open extreme
I'm gonna have to scream and shout

We are we are 
We are our history
We see we see we see
We see what you quarry

What do you find 
Whenever you mine us
Our footprints align
You know they define us

I've been asked to intervene
I've been asked to call you out
I'm gonna have to open extreme
I'm gonna have to scream and shout

Take your sadness
Take your pain
Wrap it up in all this madness
Turn it into something we gain

I've been asked to intervene
I've been asked to call you out
I'm gonna have to open extreme
I'm gonna have to scream and shout

Sculptures

Some life analogy as well as real place in Glasgow...

I've been holding on forever
tightrope walking on my own
waiting on the better weather
so I can find my own way home

Standing on the edge of Hope Street
Empty pavements out of sight
just a picture of an old scene
we call it black and white

Are you holding out for heaven?
Better give it your best shot
I'm still trying to keep my head on
Still walking on the spot

Still looking up
Stop looking down
Still looking up...

Heart's unsteady
(can't get high)
Not born ready
(can't get high)
Heart's unsteady
(can't get high)
God knows I try

Standing on the edge of Hope Street
better give it my best shot
I'm just trying to keep my head on
still walking on the spot

Heart's unsteady
(can't get high)
Not born ready
(can't get high)
Heart's unsteady
(can't get high)
God knows I've tried

Hope Street

London rock trio Bottomless Brunch are back with the explosive new single ‘Rocket Fuel’.

Bursting onto the scene with debut singles ‘Pawn’ and ‘Bite Your Tongue’, the bands intense fusion of heavy rock and indie took no time to attain major radio plays on Radio X (John Kennedy), BBC Introducing, Sirius XM, and landing on Amazing Radio’s A-List. 

The name ‘Bottomless Brunch’ was born as an antidote to the sometimes pretentious and self-centred tendencies in heavier genres. The somewhat tongue-in- cheek name is well suited to the character and image of Tyler (Vocals, Guitars), Tim (Bass, Vocals) and Jake (Drums) and rings true to the wit required in the creative process when aiming for the influences evident in the bands’ sound.
