Oh your girl is trouble you know,
And I know that you'll do better on your own,
You often overlook it that it's tearing you apart,
My friend I've got the thing you're looking for.

And when she's calling you up.
And you come running every single time,
Let it ring brother and you'll feel fine,
And when she's calling you up,
You'd be better off without you know,
I want to hear you tell her "no."

Narcissists is a independent electronic music project from Preston, Lancashire. Established in 2022, and releasing their debut album Opening Move the same year.

Opening Move, combines retro influences with an energetic, modern rock sound, not disimilar from Harry Styles or The Strokes. 

Opening Move saw some exposure upon release on Wythenshawe FM Radio, The Amos Madra Show and Amazing Radio Afternoons.

In November 2022, performing live atop an art gallery in Manchester, Narcissists made their live debut at the ABC Building, playing on the roof of the gallery in the glass amphitheatre as part of an event organised by House of Art and Heads Magazine.

Narcissists were also interviewed and featured in an article published by Blossom Magazine, an organisation also based in Manchester.

In December 2022, Narcissists performed at The Ferret, a legendary live music venue in Preston, Lancashire. Supporting popular rock band Sugarstone in a bid to save struggling venues affected by the pandemic.

In 2023, Narcissists released King's Gambit, their second studio album. The album featured a post-modern, electronically woven sound. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of electronic styles.

Dark Skies was used as the official soundtrack to popular Internet soap opera "Skew Bridge," crafted by the team from award winning playwriter Jim Cartwright.

Cassette Tape

A Miller has no dreams.
He can not hope to see every horse in every stream.
There's no need to spur.
A horse that's travelling, already up to speed.

Look to the stars.
Stare up all you like, but you'll never get that far.
Look to the sky.
You'll never understand. you're never gonna fly.

The kids dont think in dreams.
Taken, locked away, a never-ending scream.
A future made obscene.
Squandered on a stupid capitalist scheme.

The kids don't think at all.
Waiting for the day they're lined against a wall.
A conflict of the mind.
The world of black and white, pointed, erudite.

Look to the stars.
Shine on alkaline, you're just fine as you are.
Look to the sky.
You're never gonna know why the world is passing by.

While the miller told his tale.
The sword of damocles, descending, deft, unfurled.
The trampling of the damned.
Can you hear them fall? a back against a wall.

Look to the stars.
Climb up any height, the distance is too far.
Look to the sky.
Forget it ammonite. It's where they placed the bar.

Chase Thee Not! The Moon

When I was young, 
Could not read the signs.
Could not see behind eyes.
Need to hear things.
What was left for me?

Out on the road.
People let go.
It's not that they know,
Anything you don't.
Wisdom in jest, you see.

Oh! "When I was a child."
"Where I came from."
Yeah? You're responsible, too.

Just a word before I go.
All you people are dead to me.

Mind: Follow me.
We'll stare at these stars.
That's a planet, it's Mars.
Not that you care.
Can't avoid destiny.

Home is a place.
Where you collect things.
To place inside tins.
Until you lose them.
For all eternity.

Oh, "when I was a child."
I put that away.
Girl, you should do too.

There's just you and your own.
All you people are dead to me.

Oh, "when I was a child."
Forget that one. Boy.
Not important to you.

Just a word in your ear.
All you people are dead to me.

A look from out.
The side of an eye.
A moment to spy.
Whats behind them.
However, fleeting.

A silent dig.
Inside of the mind.
Beside enemy's lines.
Nothing to bind them.
Yes, I'll be leaving.

Oh, "when I was a child."
I thought as such.
I was naught but a fool.

I discovered, too late.
Mostly.
People, they are dead to me.

Oh, "When I was a child."
"Where I came from."
Yeah? You're responsible, too.

Just a word before I go.
All you people are dead to me.













All You People Are Dead To Me

We shouldn't have to fight.
The piles of skulls must show it.
Who cares who's really right?
Nobody really knows it.
The road out of this place.
Littered with bones like you and me.
The dreams that floated high.
Same as dreams that sink to ground.

This is a road to nowhere.
It's all a route to now.

A spaceman in the clouds,
knows that he matters nought.
A twinkling in the eye.
Your time has come around.
The bell tolls out for thee.
The bells keep ringing out.
The cowboys and the cows.
Are dust to blow around...,

This is a road to nowhere.
It's all a route to now.
We're all on a road to nowhere.
There isn't even hell.

I don't think on the world,
When I'm no longer in it.
and if I try to think on death.
I just can't see much in it.
I do not think of frying pans,
somebody making love to you,
I do not sit and think and about.
All the people waiting to die.

This is a road to nowhere.
It's all a route to now.
We're all on a road to nowhere.
There isn't even hell.

A Road To Nowhere

You’re the milk and honey in my steaming mug of tea
You’re the red hot chili peppers in my favorite spicy kimchee
I was sitting alone eating plain white rice
When you came to the table with a bowl of teriyaki

It’s the little things that make life big
It’s the little things that matter the most
It’s the little things that make me happy
It’s the little things you know it baby
It’s the little things that pack the biggest punch
It’s the little things that come along in bunches
It’s the little things that make life big
It’s the little things that matter the most

If I’m eating a burger, you’re my secret sauce
When I’m brushing my teeth you’re that minty dental floss
You’re the sparkles in my water the whiskey in my Coke
You’re my last ten dollar before I go broke

It’s the little things – a harmless little white lie
It’s the little things – a tiny bit of blue sky
It’s the little things – the sparkle in your eye
It’s the little things – whispered promises at goodbye

You’re the mushrooms in my ramen you’re the butter on my bread
You’re the lyrics in my song you’re the clever things I said
You’re the fine line between a win and a tie
You’re the moment at dusk the sun drops out of the sky

It’s the little things that make life big 
It’s the little things that matter the most
It’s the little things that make me happy
It’s the little things you know it baby
It’s the little things that pack the biggest punch
It’s the little things that come along in bunches
It’s the little things that make life big
It’s the little things that matter the most

It’s the little things – a harmless little white lie
It’s the little things – a tiny bit of blue sky
It’s the little things – the sparkle in your eye
It’s the little things – whispered promises at goodbye

Little Things

Oh, it was alright at the start.
But then you drank too much, and things just start to slowly fall apart.
And it'll be alright in the end.
And all the other bullshit coming from your friends.

Don't talk that fucking shit to me.
You know exactly how this goes.
You can't do nothing and expect things just to change.
Been down the road.
Cigarettes and Alcohol.

You got yourself some little tart.
Kidding yourself that you're so much better than you are.
They all think you're a fucking dick.
Be better if it didn't take you years to realise it.

Don't talk that fucking shit to me.
You know exactly how this goes.
You best do something if you're wanting shit to change.
Been down the road.
Cigarettes and Alcohol.

So you pour yourself another drink,
And you're gipping in your kitchen sink.
There's empty cans hidden in every hole.

And you're kidding no one but yourself.
There's no escaping mental health.
Reflection staring back all pale and gaunt.

The fun has gone it passed you by.
Old Red eyes they don't even cry.
They only get more angry at the world.

The only solution's another drink.
Another drink and, another drink.
That familiar feeling, all safe and warm.

Don't talk that fucking shit to me.
You know exactly how this goes.
Give it three days and you'll be rid of the fucking shakes.
Been down the road.
Cigarettes and Alcohol.

Cigarettes and Alcohol [2023]

Pretty girl in a summer dress. 
Leaving us all quite depressed.
With your youth and vigour in the sun. 
Looking like the chosen one. 
Not us. Not us. 

Summer dress.

The shimmering of the summer light. 
Plays through the fabric on your thighs.
Quite the princess in the sun.
Sipping on your coke and rum. 
With us. With us. 

The bikinis showing off your curves
The drink is filling us with nerve.
Lounging lizards in the sun.
Who's declared the golden ones?
Not us. Not us.

Summer dress.

When we see you in that dress, we really know that it is summertime.

Summer Dress.

Pretty girl in a summer dress. 
We've all decided, you're the best.
We believe we stand a chance. 
Anyway, you're going to dance. 
Not us. Not us.

Your half ignoring all the glares, but jiggle, pout, and shake your hair.
You're getting anything you want. 
Your attitude is nonchalant. 
Toward us. Toward us.

Summer dress.

When we see you in that dress, we really know that it is summertime.


Summer Dress [2023]

Nor blanket of kindness, nor blanket of snow.
Covers me whole. Makes no inroads from...
The giant black smoke stack that bellows and blows.
Oh, how it blows. 
Blows out and blows.

Oh, please, oh, please.
Save me, from me.
Eloise, in your garden of love.
Oh, please, won't you please.
Save me, from being me.
Eloise, in your garden of love.

The choices I make must sit right in my head.
Eloise. Come with me.
If I make the wrong choice, I'll wish I were dead.
Eloise, we could be...
So happy you joined us, though you're rather late.
Honey, please, Set me free.
Now eat everything that we put on your plate.
On my knees, work with me.

Oh, please, won't you please.
Save me from just me.
Eloise, in your garden of love.
Oh, please, please, please.
Save me, save me, save me.
Eloise, in your garden of love.

Now I'm walking and talking.
And barely forestalling this breakdown.
Won't come free.
Eloise, in the garden of love.
I walk and I talk.
And say all the words I'm supposed to say now.
Alter me. 
Eloise, in your garden of love.

Some sort of third verse that explains the first two.
Eloise. Follow me?
The storm in your mind can't contain what you do.
Eloise. Follow me?

Oh, please, won't you please.
Save me, only me.
Eloise, with your garden of love.
Oh, please, please, please.
Save me, me, me.
Eloise, with your garden of love.

I'm walking, I'm baulking.
I'm right on the edge of a breakdown.
From the fee.
Eloise. Eloise  Eloise.
I can't walk, and I can't talk.
I can't alter the words that you say now.
Fancy free. 
Eloise. 
In your garden of love.

The choices I make must sit right in my head.
If I make the wrong choice, I'll wish I were dead.
Eloise in your garden of love.











Eloise

Leave it with me, and we'll see.
What we find without.
What the talks about.
What they've left around.
What goes round and round.

Leave it with me, and we'll see.
What we're dealing out.
What we worked around.
What it's all about.
Why we're talking loud.

The spark that glows can be restored.
The spark is fed, the fire roars.

Just let it be, and we'll see.
What the chats about.
What they're hawking out.
Where the feelings gone.
Where we're going wrong.

Just let it be, and we'll see.
What they're paying on.
What's the chance they're gone.
What's the right and wrong.
Whether it's begun.

The spark lights up the window pane.
Only the blackened charred remains.
The spark that glows can be restored.
The spark is fed, the fire roars.

What the life's about.
spinning lies around.
What this loves about.
What lies round about. 

What is going on.
Where it all went wrong.
Why the fuss began.
When the rabbit rabbit ran.

The spark lights up the feilds again.
Showing only charred remains.
The spark that glows can be restored.
The spark is fed, the fire roars.

Leave it with me, and we'll see.
When it's coming back.
A surprise attack.
What or not, the craic.
That we sorely lack.

Leave it to me, and we'll see.
What the chats about.
What they're hawking out.
Where the feelings gone.
Where we're going wrong.


Spark

Revolt

Infected

and as the night 
fades away
and the dawn
takes its place
only echoes
of a last embrace
this could have been 
something great

this really could have been 
something special
now we’ll never realize
our true potential

haunted by doubts 
in midnight air 
visions like ghosts 
burden to bear
maze of our minds 
search for the key 
still no escape 
this tragedy

Something Great

She crosses the street toward the shore.
She used to do that before the war. 
Excited dogs, kids on gliders.
She won't see them.
They're nothing to her.
Cars moving fast, surfers on boards.
She won't see them.
They're nothing to her. 

Her mind is there, and you won't dare to ask her why.
You don't even care. You've never been there, you coward guys. 

She catches a stone, watching the sea, scratching her bones. 
She closes her eyes, smelling the air. She's back right there.

Her mind is there, And you won't dare to ask her why.
You don't even care. You've never been there, you coward guys.

The Coward Guys And The Girl

Zatskov is there upon the stairs.
He smiles and stares at me downstair.

The airplane up there is quite loaded.
I know quite well where it's heading.

Warm is the air. Light everywhere. 
I know quite well what happened there.

The Airplane
