every moment feels like I’m half-awake
but everything’s too real
an 80s teen film soundtrack fades away
another day on crisps, black coffee and wine
linoburns are getting deeper every day now
but I’m only human and I don’t care
given half a chance I’d probably wait a day
my head is full of you but I can’t be arsed to move
cause anything worth doing has been done to bits
anything worth seeing happened all too soon
but I don’t mind
it’s all just fine.

Underachievement

twenty-one and bored enough to smile
tongue-tied and bruised enough
not to bother going back
woke up at half past noon to the sound of your voice
not quite sure if it’s still worth
waking up to anymore
9 to 5 and hopelessly in debt
no degree, no self-esteem
just empty morality
we’re failing in style
we’re failing before we die
no second chances, no retries
no trust funds to fall back on

Awake

1) If I fall asleep this time
please wake me up before it’s dawn
2) If I’m still awake tomorrow
don’t mind if I stay for a while more
3) If I’m still here after ten
please just say and I’ll be gone for good
((just say and I’ll be gone))

Nothingism

|

I can’t stand being around you any longer
but it’s not because of you
it’s just that I’ve got nothing left to talk about
and I don’t feel alright
any second more and I’ll fall asleep instead
I’m not equipped to handle other people;
I just feel like caving in
I don’t think I’ll bother getting up
until it’s dark and there’s nothing left to do
why should I spend a night or eight
with someone I might as well have met
in some chapter of a book instead
at least that way they’d always stay the same
on page 448
at least that way I’d never end being so bored,
((wish you were imaginary too))

I’d say how much I care
but some things
I just can’t take
can’t handle
anyway
can’t concentrate with
you stuck in my mind
I’d say how much I need
these moments but
(every time I try and close my eyes
I fall in further and I’m not sure how to cope)
you won’t figure out
anything by yourself
((do i have to spell it out?))

Fits & Starts
by a certain smile (& my lil underground records)
supported by 10 fans who also own “Milquetoastesque e.p.”
I have several problems with a member of this band, so I'm disinclined to like this album. However, exceptional music speaks for itself, and this album really is exceptional, from the guitar work to the vocals to the production. As painful as it is for me to write these words, this is among the best releases of the year and firmly belongs in the collection of anyone who cares about contemporary indiepop.
