a fun song. could be a song to sing at the back of the bus!

lol cheers. Maybe not on the winning team's bus but who wants to hang out with those guys :-)

Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Wednesday evening (or when we receive 200 submissions, whichever is sooner) - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 11th July: from Friday afternoon you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch455

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves or on the BBC Music Introducing Mixtape during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance. 

We also don’t accept short previews or SoundCloud Go tracks that can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which cannot be included in playlists. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks (and remixes of tracks) that have been previously submitted, and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 455

Lookout

(VERSE 1)

When you can’t quite find the words to say
You try to write it down and out anyway
That you can find out on the day
When we find a little space
Its gonna take some time to heal
The drawn out dread that you now feel
But its a part out of the deal
That we’ve been blessed enough to feel

(CHORUS)

I’m on the lookout,
For someone older,
To point me in the right direction,
To keep my right.

I’m on the lookout,
For someone wiser,
To keep me on my feet,
And treat me right.

(VERSE 2)

I know how you feel now,
Cut up in the world
Your heads a mess, you feel its up in a swirl
But the days will get brighter,
No time in the dark
And now you feel that we’ve been all torn apart

But I’ve been dealing with the same old places
Staring at these walls for ages and ages
Practice on my life has been far from gracious
Building up the walls like a pariah nation
Imagination? Now come pick a destination
Greatest show on earth that we’re about to stage in
Welcome to my paradise, my little oasis
Sorry for my dreams there a little abrasive

(CHORUS 2)

I’m on the lookout,
For someone older,
To point me in the right direction,
To keep my right.

I’m on the lookout,
For someone wiser,
To keep me on my feet,
And treat me right.

Ain’t easy to move on,
But it gets better,
It makes me feel so happy,
That look in your eyes...

Cos times are changing,
And I can do much better,
It makes me feel so happy,
She treats me right.

Lookout

Concept Of Life

From the album LOWWAYS (November 1, 2024)

Lowways

It's Snow, It's Dark

A departure from the usual aggression and rage, Rum Fatha is a love letter to our experience playing Poland in December. Influenced by psychedelic rap beats, it's our first release of a very busy 2025.

Rum Fatha

The Devil Calls

Cathedrals

Won't Change Your Mind

“I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.”

James Baldwin

Bewilderment

Exploding!

"I don't think I've ever heard - or played - anything on the radio before that goes from sounding like a souped-up Rotary Connection to Gang Of Four within the space of three minutes. It's heady stuff; an intoxicating international groove... just really, really good...really, really enjoyed that..." Adam Walton (musician and presenter) on BBC Radio Wales, 1st March 2025

The Permissive Footpath Society

“The world is becoming increasingly unstable. We wanted to reflect on this in the context of protest songs from the past and how they’re seen in the 21st century. Modern oligarchs condemn Flower Power, peace and environmental movements, and human rights protesters, for the troubles of the world. But it’s actually these despots’ own lies and greed which are to blame for what’s happening in the world right now.”  - Richard Pierce

"It's a travesty that songs like this still need to be written, if only we could sing about love, peace and happiness whilst living in a world of love , peace and happiness, where everyone treats everyone else as an equal and with kindness, love and compassion, but in Richard's words: this is something yet to be seen..." - Marina Florance

were they really golden years
as we drifted through our joy
what ever happened to our smiles
the peace we took for granted

not because the past was best
or that the grass was greener then
it's because what we really need
Is something yet to be seen

don't blame the flowers,
don't blame the girls,
don't blame the colours
don't blame the universal soldiers
he marched away without goodbyes
don't blame him for your lies

we didn't see the warning signs
as we held our eyes closed
the bombs, the blood,
the loss of meaning,
the hate, the deaths, the grieving

don't blame the flowers
don't blame the girls
don't blame the colours
don't blame the universal soldiers

don't blame the flowers
don't blame the girls
don't blame the colours
don't blame the universal soldiers
they marched away without goodbyes
don't blame them for your lies

we did not see the warning signs
as we held our eyes closed
the bombs, the blood,
the loss of meaning,
the hate, the deaths,
the grieving

don't blame the flowers
don't blame the girls
don't blame the colours
don't blame the universal soldiers
they marched away without goodbyes
don't blame them for your lies

don't blame the flowers
don't blame the girls
don't blame the colours
don't blame the universal soldiers
we marched away without goodbyes
don't blame us for your lies
don't blame us for your lies

not because the past was best
or that the grass was greener then
it's because what we really need
is something yet to be seen

LYRICS
Life’s a bitch, and I’m leftover
Drowning in the air I breath
My misery is growing bolder 
‘Cause it loves my company
Feeding my dependency
I’m just a clown smiling upside down
Bleeding my resiliency
I die with my happy frown 

Oh no no no, Mr. Rousseau 
Oh no no no, nobody’s home  (no no no no)
Oh no no no, Mr. Rousseau (Oh no no Mr. Rousseau)
Oh no no no no no nobody’s home

When I was young
Ooo and my dreams still far-flung
They said to make my way
Filled my head with shit led me astray
Feeding my dependency
I’m just a clown smiling upside down
Bleeding my resiliency
I die with my happy frown   
 
Oh no no no, Mr. Rousseau (no no no)
Oh no no no no no, nobody’s home
Oh no no no, Mr. Rousseau (Oh no, Mr. Rousseau)
Oh no no no no no nobody’s home

Oh, society corrupting 
The purity of your soul
Freedom and equality

Ooo

Oh no no no, Mr. Rousseau 
Oh no no no, nobody’s home 
Oh no no no, Mr. Rousseau 
Oh no no no no no nobody’s home


Oh no! Mr. Rousseau
