Lyrics:

Sexy to someone
Is all I really want
Sometimes sexy to someone
Is all I really want
Nothing more nothing less of thought
Walking through the park

Sexy to someone
I think about it all
Checking out of the hotel
Or moments at a bar
Ask if I’m in a movie
No, I didn’t get the part

Sexy to somebody it would help me out
Oh, I need a reason to get out of the house
And it’s just a little thing I can’t live without

Sexy is something I see in everything
Honey sticking to your hands
Sugar on the rim
Nothing more nothing less of thought
Take it all to heart

I want afterglowing
And when I call a car
Send me eyes with the knowing
That I could pull it off
Ask if I’m doing TV
No, I didn’t get the job

Sexy to somebody it would help me out
Oh, I need a reason to get out of the house
And it’s just a little thing I can’t live without

(I want to be sexy to someone)
Is it too much to ask?
(I want to be sexy to someone)
Then what’s holding you back?
(I want to be sexy to someone)
It’s not too much to ask
(Sexy to someone)

Sexy to somebody it would help me out
Oh, I need a reason to get out of the house
And it’s just a little thing I can’t live without

Sexy to somebody it would help me out
Oh, I need a reason to get out of the house
And it’s just a little thing I can’t live without

Sexy to Someone

LOOM

Nice to Meet You

You need Self Help! 

loud crunchy synthy doomy cynical noise 

Hailing from Oxford, England, Self Help are a five-piece who create a sound as blistering as it is off-kilter. The band first came together in 2018 sharing a love for a diverse, experimental approach to making music. Self Help create art strictly on their own terms and, in turn, challenge the listener throughout. Indeed, their unforgettable performances leave a lasting effect on music lovers far and wide, with three frontmen often taking turns to lead the charge. 

Following a short, self-imposed, break from the playing music, Self Help returned in 2022 with their uncompromising sound enveloping their peers into a sonic-euphoric, semi-doomscape or, as the band have coined, vroomscape! This led to a number of festival appearances and airplay on BBC 6 Music as well as support slots with the likes of Squid, Goat Girl, The Murder Capital and Animal House. 

Hot on the heels of their latest single ‘Enrage Engage’, Oxford five-piece Self Help return with the raucous I Want You All To Myself. The band continue to showcase the diversity of their expansive sound from track to track, illustrating why the likes of BBC 6 Music, The Vinyl District, Fortitude Magazine and many more have supported their music.

The upcoming album is packed full of post-punk energy and is a result of Self Help’s ironic displeasure at seeing the modern world in the state that it’s currently in.
