For a calss we had to write something about ourselfs that we enjoy, I wrote mine about this song and my teacher said it was in so much detail that he showed the principal. I got a A for the assignment and said that he cried when he heard the song 😭😭😭

I understand why he chose La Jolla after I went there last August

hello? is anyone else here? can you hear my voice from here?

i feel like the sadness of this song goes over so many peoples heads. like this is genuinely one of the SADDEST songs ive heard, the things he says in this song is just pure gloom

Wilbur Soot - Kill Yourself

Wilbur Soot - La Jolla

Lyrics:

[Intro]
*Dialing tone*

[Verse 1]
You know it takes a lot to move me
So if you figure it out, tell me
I trace figures on your smile lines
Work a formula to cure me?

[Verse 2]
And I'm lonely
There I said it
Nine million people
I always seem to add them up

[Verse 3]
I could go away
I could pack my things and be gone before you wake
You know I've tried hard to love me too
It always seems to fall in through

[Verse 4]
Maybe one day I'll live in La Jolla
Drinking cocktails out over the water
My own personal sunset
To give each day its own diploma
And you know it's funny
Amid my backseat taxi jaunts
I'm trying to ignore the skyline
So I don't figure out where you
[Outro]
*Phone ringing*

Wilbur Soot - Your Sister Was Right

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I thought I couldn't love anymore
Turns  out I can't
Not  for the same reasons as before
I use everyone I ever meet
I can't find the perfect match
Abuse  those I love
While  I ostracise the ones who love me back

[Verse 2]
On the path of least resistance
I  find myself salting the earth
Every time that I miss you
I feel the way you hurt
And I don't deserve you
You  deserve the world
Though it feels like we were built from the same
Dirt

[Chorus]
Ah-ah-ah
Oh, I hate to say it but your sister was right
Don't trust English boys with far too much free time
I hate to say it but your sister was right
I'm nothing but a problem, leave you crying overnight
And I hate to say it but your sister was right
I can't focus on the future, only my short sight
I hate to say it but your sister was right
I'm a wanker, complete wanker
A fucking waste of time

Wilbur Soot - Losing Face

Lyrics:

[Intro]
Woo-wee!
Woo!

[Verse 1]
First and foremost
Oh, let it be said, my dear
I was gonna wait for you
So this is not an act of spite
It's a visceral coming-to
She wrote an album
And that’s something that I can’t do
But what I can do is spit the truth
And it all leads back to you

[Verse 2]
Secondly, I know I haven't written much
You know the way I can be
Tonight, I'm fucking drunk
So it's all gonna be about me
Take a seat, pull up a chair
Give me one beat to fill my glass
I've lost a piece of me in you
But you've lost all your past

[Chorus]
Is he better than me?
Has he seen more to this life?
Can he smoke more?
Can he fuck more?
Are you good enough to be his wife?
Can he break me?
Can he break you?
Oh, I don’t know what I’m to do
Yes, I don’t know what I’ll fuckin' do
[Verse 3]
I've seen our café, I've clocked our plans
Oh, what could have been
If you didn’t go and fall in love
And ruin everything
I've seen him
I've been him
I've felt the same way
But now I break against the dirt
Along with our cafés

[Chorus]
Is he better than me?
Has he seen more to this life?
Can he smoke more?
Can he fuck more?
Are you good enough to be his wife?
Can he break me?
Can he break you?
Well, I don’t know what I’m to do
Yes, I don’t know what I’ll fuckin' do

[Bridge]
I've lost all meaning
I've lost my sense of hope
I've seen him going out with you
I've seen what he can do
So touch him
And break me
Strip naked
Embrace him
Lose faith in
His pace, his
Stamina and grace
I’m losing face
I’m losing face
I’m losing
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh, mmm-mmm
I don't care, I want you here
As long as you're happy, I don't care

Losing Face

Wilbur Soot - Since I Saw Vienna

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
The cute bomber jacket you've had since sixth form
Adorned with patches of places you’ve been
Is nothing on my khaki coat that I got
From a roadside when I was sixteen
My boots are from airports
My backpack's from France
I'm not a man of substance and so I’ll pretend
To be a wanderer, wandering
Leaving ascetic belongings in hostels and restaurant bins

[Verse 2]
(Cut that bit out *laughs*)
The roads are my home as horizon's my target
If I keep on moving, never lose sight of it
Treating my memory of you like a fire, let it
Burn out, don't fight it and try to move on
It's been sixty weeks since I saw Vienna
A bandage and a wide smile slapped across my face
I'll pick up my hiking boots when I am ready
And I'll put down my roots when I'm dead

[Verse 3]
The distance is futile
Come on, don't be hasty
You’ll get that feeling deep inside your bones
I’ll be gone then when you must be alone

Since I Saw Vienna

Wilbur Soot - Saline Solution

Lyrics:

[Intro]
One, two, three and four

[Verse 1]
I think this time I'm dying
I’m not melodramatic
I'm just pragmatic beyond any
Reasoning for thinking I've got
Fuckin’ rabies, or something

[Refrain 1]
I think this time I'm dying
I think this time I'm dying

[Verse 2]
I think I've lost my mind
Blurring the fact and the fictions
While simultaneously fixing
Myself up with a girl
Named Panadol
Bite the tablet, elixir
Disintegrate, mouth's a mixer

[Refrain 2]
I think I've lost my mind
I think I've lost my mind
[Bridge]
If I could just break one more night
Maybe I could wake up and feel alright
My optimistically set alarm clock time
Serves only to mock me with flashing lights

[Verse 3]
I think I've made my choice
I’m a deceased playing victim
Slip the face, slip the victory
I think I’ve made my choice
Sit secluded in hatred
Void the plans friends are making
I think I've found my voice
I’m a leech sucking blood bags
Taste defeat, it's a sandbag

[Outro]
Saline solution
Saline solution to all your
Saline solution to all your
Saline solution to all your problems
*Laughs*

Wilbur Soot - Jubilee Line

Lyrics:

[Intro: Julie Berry]
Northern and Waterloo and City Lines, and National Rail Services
This train terminates at Stanmore

[Verse 1: Wilbur Soot]
Wasting your time
You're wasting mine
I hate to see you leaving
A fate worse than dying

[Verse 2: Wilbur Soot]
Your city gave me asthma
So that's why I'm fucking leaving
And your water gave me cancer
And the pavement hurt my feelings

[Bridge: Wilbur Soot]
Shout at the wall
'Cause the walls don't fucking love you
Shout at the wall
'Cause the walls don't fucking love you

[Acoustic Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]
There's a reason
That London puts barriers on the tube line
There's a reason
That London puts barriers on the rails
There's a reason
That London puts barriers on the tube line
There's a reason
That London puts barriers on the rails
There's a reason
That London puts barriers on the tube line
[Outro: Wilbur Soot]
There's a reason they fail

The Last Beluga Whale - Gert Holle 
Vor vier Jahren schrieb ich mit „The Last Beluga Whale“ einen für mich sehr wichtigen Song, mit dem ich aufrütteln wollte. Seitdem ist das Engagement für Umwelt, für unsere Zukunft allgemein leider spürbar eingebrochen. Auch wenn es in der medialen Wahrnehmung in den Hintergrund getreten ist: Die Lebensräume vieler Arten sind mehr denn je bedroht. Populationen schrumpfen gewaltig. Höchste Zeit zu handeln. Deswegen wiederhole ich heute noch einmal meinen Appell: Mache mit und setze dem Klimawandel und Artensterben Dein Engagement entgegen. Nehme nicht so einfach hin, dass wir das Leben vieler Geschöpfe unserem Gott des Wachstums opfern. Wir können etwas verändern, wir müssen etwas ändern. Mir liegt etwas daran, dass die sogenannte „letzte Generation“ nicht die „letzte Generation“ wird. Und Dir und Euch geht es nicht anders. Davon bin ich überzeugt. – Alles Liebe, Gert Holle.

Four years ago, I wrote “The Last Beluga Whale,” a song that was very important to me and with which I wanted to shake people up. Since then, commitment to the environment and to our future in general has unfortunately declined noticeably. Even though it has faded into the background in media coverage, the habitats of many species are more threatened than ever. Populations are shrinking dramatically. It is high time to act. That is why I am repeating my appeal today: join in and counter climate change and species extinction with your commitment. Don't just accept that we are sacrificing the lives of many creatures to our god of growth. We can make a difference, we must make a difference. It is important to me that the so-called “last generation” does not become the “last generation.” And I am convinced that you feel the same way. – All the best, Gert Holle.

Last Beluga Whale

The last falcon in the sky
circles across the desert land.
We take care of ourselves,
ignoring the changes in the world.
That’s what we learned,
growth is our God in daily life.
Want more of this?
We did not understand the warning signs.

I’m feeling blue
Aching in my heart – so deep.
I’m sorry for you.
Tears are running on the ground.

The last beluga whale
plows through the plastic-strewn sea.
We do not want to see:
We are living beyond the means.
That’s what we learned,
growth is our God in daily life.
Want more of this?
We didn’t understand the warning signs.

I’m feeling blue
Aching in my heart – so deep.
I’m sorry for you.
Tears are running on the ground.

Bridge:
Ride a nightmare to the bitter end.
Wonder: How could tomorrow ever follow then.
Ride a nightmare to the bitter end.
We have to awake – right now!
I’m feeling blue
Aching in my heart – so deep.
I’m sorry for you.
Tears are running on the ground.

The children of the earth
begin to awake and cry.
Hope will never end,
but we have to start to change.
It’s almost too late,
but the future is not giving up yet.
We just have to see:
less could be more – most certainly.

I am confident,
closure in our hearts can change.
Come on - get on your way,
take the tiny chance – right now.
