I'M A TRAINED ORATOR
A SKILLED MANIPULATOR
I WAS BORN INTO THE RANKS
WHILE YOU WERE BRED FOR FOOD BANKS
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO WANT FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

I AM A NATURAL LEADER
YOU ARE THE TRUE BELIEVERS
I SEE THEM SCRAPING ON THEIR KNEES
THEY RECOGNISE I’M THE ELITE 
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO WORK FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

HUMAN RECIPROCATOR

I’M A PUBLIC SPEAKER
FORGIVE MY MISDEMEANOURS
MY MASCULINITY - A CRUTCH FOR MEDIOCRITY 
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO BEG FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

I AM A NATURAL LEADER
YOU ARE THE TRUE BELIEVERS
SO DON’T LISTEN TO RUMOUR
(WELL DRESSED LIKE THAT WOULD YOU BELIEVE HER?)
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO REPENT FOR A THING IN MY LIFE

HUMAN RECIPROCATOR
HUMAN RECIPROCATOR

I HAVE ALL THE DATA
HUMAN RECIPROCATOR
I HAVE FRIENDS IN SUCH HIGH PLACES
THAT MY PRIVILEGE ERASED IT
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO ANSWER FOR A THING IN MY LIFE

I CAN RADIATE IT
I WON’T RECIPROCATE IT
I WILL ASK OF YOU THE THINGS I’LL NEVER EVER EVER DO
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO WAIT FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

HUMAN RECIPROCATOR
HUMAN RECIPROCATOR
HUMAN RECIPROCATOR

I'M A SKILLED ORATOR
A TRAINED MANIPULATOR
I SEE THEM FALLING AT MY FEET
THE MAN THE WOMEN WANT TO MEET
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO ASK FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

WHILE YOU WERE BRED FOR FOOD BANKS
I WAS BORN INTO THE RANKS
I SEE YOU SCRAPING ON YOUR KNEES
YOU RECOGNISE I’M THE ELITE 
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO WAIT FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

HUMAN RECIPROCATOR

Lyrics:
I could never see
What it was you saw in me
But we've all had enough now,
Time is liberty
We've all had enough now,
Surely time's delivering

I would never be
What it was you thought i'd be
But we've all had enough now,
Time is liberty
We've all had enough now,
Surely time's delivering

I cannot see
Where I want to be
I'm not quite here
I know we will not align
We're getting no place fast this time.

Getting No Place Fast

‘Every Day’ is the debut single from Sylvan Weekends, out on 7th September 2022. It’s an upbeat folk-indie-pop modern love song to tingle your emotions and make you dance. It ruminates on the urge to explore every part of life and thought with a new love interest.

Every Day

Call me a stranger,
Call me your foe
You can come with a wager,
But I left long ago

You can stare with your daggers,
Or sulk at the side
Your words twist and swagger,
Like a buoy at high tide

(Chorus)
Take off all your disguises,
And bring your fears to the table
For there’s no use in hiding behind
A troubled mind

You can scream from the rooftops
Or bury your soul
In a world full of characters
That only you know

It might be forever, 
Or maybe an hour
But I’ll stick around here
‘Cause you’re worth waiting for
Yeah you’re worth waiting for

(Chorus)
Take off all your disguises,
And bring your fears to the table
For there’s no use in all these devices so -
Take off all your disguises,
And bring your fears to the table
For there’s no use in hiding behind
A troubled mind

A troubled mind…

A Troubled Mind

Black Water - Angus Powell

Sometimes it all gets too much
And you lose your head 'cause you're losing touch
And you go to the moon and you dance with the stars
'Cause there's pain that remains in the scars

On Mute

Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Division cover) by Kal Lavelle & Zoe Konez

Out: 14 / 07 / 23. 

Serving Suggestion: Best Served Chilled
Best Before: End of Summer


Lounging in the sun, The sunlounger
On a sunlounger, just lounging in the sun

An ice-cube melts, A sunflower dies
You don't blink an eye
Goosebumps on your skin, Tan-lines on your mind
An aeroplane looks down from the sky

Lounging in the sun, The sunlounger
On a sunlounger, just lounging in the sun

In line with the sun, at one with the world
You sip some lemonade
An old French film, the scene lasts all day
But there's no cameras there

We're all enjoying the show, a long slow romance
Baby there's lots to do and you're doing the best you can
And if it gets too hot, you can go in the swimming pool

Lounging in the sun, The sunlounger
On a sunlounger, just lounging in the sun
