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

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

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

Jubilee Line

A bunch of songs that weren't good enough or didn't fit the vibe of the EP. My favourite being "Maybe I Was Boring" so I named this little EP after it. The cover art is me on the floor.

Lyrics:

We all move on
Some faster than others
We all know
We all sacrifice
In a bath late in the evening
Building up sorrow

[Chorus]
But I can't say that I
Wasted my time
'Cause I'm built by you
And I can't say that I
Am glad it is over
'Cause that wouldn't be true
So thank you
Oh, thank you

[Verse 2]
We both remember
That day in the summer
When you were sat on me
And we cried
Oh, how we cried
In that moment
We've never been so happy

[Chorus]
But I can't say that I
Wasted my time
'Cause I'm built by you
And I can't say that I
Am glad it is over
'Cause that wouldn't be true
So thank you
Oh, thank you
All I can say is thank you

[Outro]
But I can't say that I
Won't miss you

Wilbur Soot - For Memories

Maybe I Was Boring

For Memories

A bunch of songs that weren't good enough or didn't fit the vibe of the EP. My favourite being "Maybe I Was Boring" so I named this little EP after it. The cover art is me on the floor.

Lyrics:

[Intro]
Yeah, I'm recording
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
Bouncer greets us at the door
He can tell we've been here before
So he lets us pass
And we climb up 15 flights of stairs
And find that spot in the corner just over there

[Verse 2]
It's only 6:30 but we're starting to drink
I'm ordering the usual
I think I need a change of pace
London's bursting at the seams
It's not quite the place I hoped I'd be

[Chorus]
It's white wine in a Wetherspoons
It's fine dining with cheap perfume
It's country walks down the motorway
How many drugs have you done today?

[Verse 3]
'Cause concrete sculptures and broken glass
It's the lamp posts who guide our paths
Because the moon can't get in
And the clouds hang heavy
Blocking out his pursuit
And booze hangs limply on our rental suits

[Verse 4]
'Cause we're fires, we're burning bright
Breaking bottles and starting fights
But the evening has other plans
Run as they pull up with two more vans

[Chorus]
It's white wine in a Wetherspoons
It's fine dining with cheap perfume
It's country walks down the motorway
How many drugs have you done today?

[Bridge]
But I won't fuss
I'll let you pass
No, I won't fuss
I'll let you pass

[Outro]
'Cause it's only white wine in a Wetherspoons
Fine dining with cheap perfume
DLR closed due to workers' strikes
God knows how I'll get home tonight

Released on 25/12/2019, along with "Maybe I Was Boring"

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I lost the passion that comes with living
Since I started university
I took a geography course to learn the datelines
And maybe use a sextant
But now I just press facsimiles

[Verse 2]
And you're exactly who you wanted to be
That's what you said
'Cause you wanna watch TV and sleep all day and lay in bed but
You're forgetting that I've got to go to work and eat my food
And pay my rent and reproduce and feed those kids
And maybe use a sextant

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't miss you
I miss the thought of what we were

[Chorus]
This is the part where I shut up and let you infest my brain
Wrap your arms around my cortex, dig you in and let you drain
You'll never get rid of me, oh I'm like a fucking disease
I'll make a home in your gut
'Cause it's somewhere warm to sleep

[Verse 3]
What was your thought when you realised
You'll never feel naive love again?
Was it pain or was it sickness?
Were you proud of who you'd been?
The shyness waiting for his phone calls
Replaced by apathy 'n' dating apps
You held his hands, it felt like flying
Now he's just another man

[Verse 4]
You'd rather he was inside than beside you
But he's talking marriage and a future
He's picking a lock he doesn't go into
Less knife in a wound, he's a suture

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't miss you
I miss the thought of what we were

[Chorus]
This is the part where I shut up and let you infest my brain
But it's okay, it's a strategy to ensure I remain
You'll never get rid of me, well I'm like a fucking disease
I'll make a home in your gut
'Cause it's somewhere warm to sleep

[Bridge]
It's okay
It's okay

[Outro]
Eat my rent and eat my food
And eat my dues and eat those kids
And maybe use a sextant
