I'M A TRAINED ORATOR
A SKILLED MANIPULATOR
I WAS BORN INTO THE RANKS
WHILE YOU WERE BRED FOR FOOD BANKS
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO WANT FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

I AM A NATURAL LEADER
YOU ARE THE TRUE BELIEVERS
I SEE THEM SCRAPING ON THEIR KNEES
THEY RECOGNISE I’M THE ELITE 
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO WORK FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

HUMAN RECIPROCATOR

I’M A PUBLIC SPEAKER
FORGIVE MY MISDEMEANOURS
MY MASCULINITY - A CRUTCH FOR MEDIOCRITY 
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO BEG FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

I AM A NATURAL LEADER
YOU ARE THE TRUE BELIEVERS
SO DON’T LISTEN TO RUMOUR
(WELL DRESSED LIKE THAT WOULD YOU BELIEVE HER?)
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO REPENT FOR A THING IN MY LIFE

HUMAN RECIPROCATOR
HUMAN RECIPROCATOR

I HAVE ALL THE DATA
HUMAN RECIPROCATOR
I HAVE FRIENDS IN SUCH HIGH PLACES
THAT MY PRIVILEGE ERASED IT
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO ANSWER FOR A THING IN MY LIFE

I CAN RADIATE IT
I WON’T RECIPROCATE IT
I WILL ASK OF YOU THE THINGS I’LL NEVER EVER EVER DO
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO WAIT FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

HUMAN RECIPROCATOR
HUMAN RECIPROCATOR
HUMAN RECIPROCATOR

I'M A SKILLED ORATOR
A TRAINED MANIPULATOR
I SEE THEM FALLING AT MY FEET
THE MAN THE WOMEN WANT TO MEET
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO ASK FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

WHILE YOU WERE BRED FOR FOOD BANKS
I WAS BORN INTO THE RANKS
I SEE YOU SCRAPING ON YOUR KNEES
YOU RECOGNISE I’M THE ELITE 
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO WAIT FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

Why do you have to pretend to stab me in the back
Why do you have to beat me at the one thing I’m good at
Let’s put a label on us so we know what we were destroying all this time
Maybe it will ricochet, I swear it’s not just another line
Are you mine or am I yours, will you let my hand go
Your bravado is so hard to follow
You know I don’t like answering the door
Is everything just a game to you
Do you want to settle downI’m melting but what for, I don’t get the metaphor
You have one foot out the door

Best Before: End of Summer


Lounging in the sun, The sunlounger
On a sunlounger, just lounging in the sun

An ice-cube melts, A sunflower dies
You don't blink an eye
Goosebumps on your skin, Tan-lines on your mind
An aeroplane looks down from the sky

Lounging in the sun, The sunlounger
On a sunlounger, just lounging in the sun

In line with the sun, at one with the world
You sip some lemonade
An old French film, the scene lasts all day
But there's no cameras there

We're all enjoying the show, a long slow romance
Baby there's lots to do and you're doing the best you can
And if it gets too hot, you can go in the swimming pool

Lounging in the sun, The sunlounger
On a sunlounger, just lounging in the sun

In January 2024, Falling Out Of Love featured on Jess Iszatt’s BBC Introducing show on BBC Radio 1, a huge moment for an independent band that prides itself on self producing and releasing their own music.

‘Only You’ will be released on 15th March 2024 and is our third single from the upcoming ‘Life in Black and White EP. Featuring distorted guitars and bright synths, the song speaks about the initial stages of a relationship where nothing else matters and you feel more alive than you ever have before. We wrote, recorded and produced the song in our bedrooms (something we’re massively proud of!) We always write music based on experiences that we have lived and we want the listener to feel that!
