Lyrics:

Why was I born without a storm to weather?
Why was I born into a place where I could see the sun?
Why do the blues seem a greener pasture?
Why is this state such a seasonless one?

Sadness looks better with gray skies and sweaters
The California sun just doesn't match

Can't look so blue with those Berkeleyan hues
Oh
I wish I were sad
Sad in the Midwest

Cue the applause from the one hand clapping
What is the sound of a scene kid crying all alone?
Signal the sound of the left shoe dropping
Where is the fruit of the seeds that I've sewn?

Dance halls are all full in states where the corn grows
The Oklahoma air just breeds despair

Can't sing the blues with these golden gate views
I wish I were sad
Sad in the Midwest

So
Sleeping in storm clouds gets old
Waking at midnight beholding
The light of the
Funeral moon
You have entombed

The dance halls look better
With gray skies and sweaters
The California air don't breed despair

Can't look so blue with these golden gate views
Why can't
I be
Sad
Sad in the Midwest?

Sad In The Midwest

LYRICS:
	
So I think you're the bad guy 
So far I'm sober 
It's over, and over, and over 

So far, sleeping in my car, 
Next to the ocean 
The ocean 
The ocean 
The ocean 

air spray, 
Rusting out my bike chain 
Bare foot on blacktop 
Is burning and burning and burning 

Mickey's, 40s, shattered glass around me shows me 
Just what I could be 
If I let you into my life 

So you've taken my daughter 
But I can't blame you 
The monster got darker and darker 

Now that I think I'm better 
You don't know who I am 
Just the mania and opiates and 

Air spray 
Rusting out my bike chain 
Bare foot on blacktop 
Is burning and burning and burning 

Mickey's, 40s, shattered glass around me shows me 
Just what I could be 
If I let you into my life

Sober

Indiepop institution Fortuna POP! quit the scene last year amid much gnashing of teeth from discerning music fans, going out in a blaze of glory with five days of sold out London shows by artists spanning their twenty year tenure, before label owner Sean Price fled Brexit Britain for a new life in Tokyo, Japan. 

That would have been it for Fortuna POP!, were it not for the label’s Jukebox 45s Singles Club. With one final single still owed to subscribers, Price saw the opportunity to do something special for what would be the very last release on the label. Taking one of the label’s best-loved releases, Comet Gain’s classic 2001 single “You Can Hide Your Love Forever”, as his starting point, contributions were solicited from Fortuna POP! bands past and present for a Band Aid-style cover version.

Over twenty bands contributed, with the music recorded by a crack band featuring Amos Memon of Fanfarlo (drums), Emma Kupa of Mammoth Penguins (bass), Laura Kovic of Tigercats (keys) and Paul Rains of Allo Darlin’, Ben Phillipson of Comet Gain and Sam Ayres of Flowers (all guitar) at Soup Studios in London. Mikey Collins of Allo Darlin’ then recorded percussion at Big Jelly studios in Ramsgate, and The Victorian Horns aka Gary Olson (trumpet) and Kyle Forrester (sax) of The Ladybug Transistor put down their brass parts at Gary’s Marlborough Farms Studio in New York.

Vocals were recorded in various studios and kitchens around the world, with Amelia Fletcher of Tender Trap, Daniel Ellis of Martha, Lan McArdle and Owen Williams of Joanna Gruesome, Adam Todd of The Spook School, Bill Botting and Elizabeth Morris of Allo Darlin’, Jeff Greene and Dan Greene of The Butterflies Of Love, Lisa Horton and Iain Ross of Bearsuit, Katherine Whitaker of Evans The Death, Silvi Wersing from Chorusgirl, Helen King of Shrag, Rachel Kenedy of Flowers, Pete Dale of Milky Wimpshake, Darren Hayman, Pete Astor and Simon Love all contributing. Giles Barrett at Soup Studios then made sense of it all and mixed the track.

The result is a fantastic, uplifting indiepop anthem that’s sure to be lifting the lids off indie clubs around the world this summer and for many years to come. Oh, and there’s a B-side too, in which DC Feck of Thee Comet Gain International Psychedelic Pop Conspiracy may have had more than a hand. Enjoy.

Lyrics:

I showed up for school with my soul in my pocket
The teacher was wearing a cross and a locket
And a grimace that told me I'd never be welcome
That Dungeons and Dragons would send me to hell
Some kid in the bathroom, between the bells ringing
Shared with me how he made peace with the demons
The advice that he gave me was written on paper
Passed between him and another tenth grader
Six simple words

Be gay
Do drugs
Hail Satan
Be gay
Do drugs
Hail Satan

The principal asked me how I had achieved it
I turned it around from a dunce to a genius
He wondered if I had been bribing the teachers
Or copying homework down under the bleachers
I told him that I had found God in my own way
In tablets, and horns, and the boys in the hallway
The head of the class, and I'm writing a speech
It'll be the best one that you ever did read and it's
Six simple words:

Be gay
Do drugs
Hail Satan
Be gay
Do drugs
Hail Satan
Beelzebub
Is full of love
Be gay
Do drugs
Hail Satan

My family's gathered in a circle
I'm 95, and I've lived a good life
My grandson, he hovers around to my bedside
He asks if I have any words of advice for him
And I do, listen in closely
Come on in close, I'll speak it softly

Be gay
Do drugs
Hail Satan
Be gay
Do drugs
Hail Satan
Beelzebub
Is full of love
Be gay
Do drugs
Hail Satan

Be Gay, Do Drugs, Hail Satan

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

Lyrics:

Midnight and the air is warm
We’re back in town for the summer
With a Neutral Milk Hotel CD  blasting
We sang the whole thing through

12:10 when we pull it out
Gotta baggie full of treats
And we knock ‘em down
Now we’re coming up crooked in my childhood bedroom
Just picked up our

Invincibility stars
Immune to all forms of harm
Yes a dream comes true
When you take a little molly with your crew

Talkin crazy in a puddle of love
We tell each other that we’re talented and oh my god
We’re made of meat, we can’t believe just
How strange it is to be

Anything, but a kid in this room?
What are the odds that I’d run into you?
I don’t know why we have to decay on this earth but
I’m glad it’s with you

Invincibility stars
Immune to all forms of harm
Yes a dream comes true
When you take a little molly with your crew

Release me
Of everything
I wanna be
I wanna be
I don't want to go now
I don't want to go now
I don't want to come down
I don't want

Invincibility star
Immune to all forms of harm
Yes a dream comes true
When you take a little molly with your
Invincibility star
Immune to all forms of harm
Yes a dream comes true
