lyrics

Everything in this room’s real
Everything in your head dreams
Go outside and get yourself a job

Is there room in outer space?
Could we ever give a you place?
It’s not for you, you don’t belong to that crowd
No matter how you kick and cry out loud

You were born working class
How you have the nerve to ask
Get out of this room
Come back next year, please son
I’ll sign you up for something you won’t love

Every dream in your head died
Didn’t I tell you not to cry?
A tear wells up in your eye and they laugh
Well I suppose you had to ask

Remember how Bill Murray woke up to I Got You Babe every day in Groundhog Day? If that song would have been Made Of Moods, he at the very least experienced three and a half perfect minutes each day. It’s one of those songs that I enjoy each and every second of, with it’s jangly guitars and hushed vocals that almost have a Beach Boys vibe, especially in the verse. Truly, it’s a song for the ages. But the best news about Still Life is that it offers eleven additional underground pop gems. Niek || Add To Wantlist
