[hook]
thread trace your thighs
better than da vinci with a HB pencil
Tryna manifest my wife, well
If u dont mind u could be my stencil

Ay, Honey calm down calm down
More than enough of me to go around
See my jean sag to the ground
Preme on my waist bet u know what I’m about

Ay i know my type
Art film angel girl, U fit the criterion
Wait but she love takeflight
West syd woman with the white shox sneakin

Uh, them Big brown eyes, slim in the waist but the buttons burstin
Ay, uh, Black or tan, NZ to Mauritius, ghana to sudan

Fuck it, indo-burmese, any of the islands round the polynese
Move like a mouse so u gotta chase cheese
Im like a chip or dale so i need me a gadget
Aye uh lil bit ratchet
Aye wit a smoking habit
Aye uh mouth like sailor
Come to my rescue, be my saviour

[hook]

Maybe i don’t have no type
Just need an alt baddie to be by my side
Beyonce frame with the Sade eyes
Got a Maina mood wit an 3mpress light

Yup Pretty round face
Blue jean baby but she partial to lace
Crybaby, Superior taste
Do her tiny dance way she whinin’ her waist

jeans so new

prod by jack slade

lyrics:
i’m at the station corner
Getting a little water
This time I’ll make some changes
I’ll be something brand new for ya

Shocked by a bare transformer
Handheld just like a daughter
Come to terms with how my frame is
But I can’t bare to stay the same

U reckon I’m good?
Deep down i feel misunderstood 
I think you like that guy
I’d swap places with him if i could

Sit in my brand new skin
Wearing a brand new trim
Eyesight with different focus
Singing a brand new hymn

This time I’m serious
This time I’m hellbent
I wanna feel like one of you guys
Feel like a normal person

transformer

c u leave

ujsc interlude

i wonder
would you be down for the life i live?

when I’m going under
down under
will i reach out for the hand you give

oh
and you’re sweeter
sweeter you make my teeth hurt

you hold me down and you keep my feet earthed 
Ten toes, ten toes on the earth

yeah
you’re sweeter
toffee sweeter

Do I deserve all the love u give?

i wonder
would you be down for the life i live?
i wonder
would you be down for the life i live?

You like to stay within the lines
Keep it equal on all sides
But God you make my mess unwind
And I don’t want you to see that side
 
Come a little closer right
I wanna take you out tonight
God You make my chest go tight
I feel you make my chest go tight

I wanna tie you around my neck
My shoulders under your legs
I do what I do best
Letting off all the stress

Letting off all the steam
Sweating you out your jeans
Seeing what you’ll believe
More than your wildest dreams 

Take you to space tonight
Show you the northern lights
Seeing your eyes go wide
Rockets are taking flight

i wonder
would you be down for the life i live?
i wonder
would you be down for the life i live?

i wonder

On “Big Shows”

People talk a lot about how the music industry is doing it tough, but the big end of music isn’t really experiencing that problem. They solve this problem by focusing on big shows — scaled events with minimal risk. I've played with the definition a bit — it's not all stadiums and arenas. But what is a "safe bet" for the music industry?

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Rob Thomas (of Matchbox 20, also of the song Santana — Smooth (ft Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20)) is doing three nights at the Enmore Theatre. Fanny Lumsden in support.
Monday 3/11, Tuesday 4/11, Wednesday 5/11
🔊 Santana — Smooth [featuring Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20]

• Josh Pyke playing at the City Recital Hall
Tonight 1/11 in celebration of 20 years of his album “Feeding The Wolves”. Feel old yet?

• Vegyn (UK) may not be a name listeners know but this super-producer (Frank Ocean, Travis Scott, JPEGmafia) recently turned out a complete remix album of Air’s Moon Safari (as “Blue Moon Safari”).
DJing at both The Abercrombie on Saturday 1/11, and Liberty Hall on Sunday 2/11.
🔊 Air — Sexy Boy (Vegyn Version)

The confounding runaway superstar phenomenon of the rapper-turned-softboi-country-artist is rolled up in this hectic arena show featuring Jelly Roll (“I Am Not OK”), Shaboozey (“A Bar Song (Tipsy)”) and Drew Baldridge (no idea who this is)
Tuesday 4/11 Sydney Olympic Arena
🔊 Jelly Roll — I Am Not OK

• We’re seeing a massive resurgence in interest in indie sleaze — a world of Pitchfork.com, music blogs, American Apparel ads, and too many unlimited bar tabs. Brooklyn, New York was the epicenter of this cultural explosion, and now a lot of these key bands have been around long enough to be acts that your adult kids could have grown up with their music since birth. Terrifying.
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (USA) play the Oxford Art Factory on Wednesday 5/11.

• And finally, Oasis (UK) have been anticipated here for a full year — along with a whole lot of controversy about Live Nation’s predatory dynamic pricing, and whether the Gallaghers could ever make it through the tour to get out here. So far the tour seems to have run without the wheels falling off.
Friday 7/11 and Saturday 7/11 @ Stadium Australia
