about

This is a song about being mildly patronised.

Chloe came up with the riff after she decided that none of our songs contained enough notes yet. Gee wrote the lyrics and spent a good two hours just noodling some weird noises over the top of it. These were all then cut up to make the glorious cacophony you hear now.

Fun Fact: There are 6 different guitar lines on this song, as well as 3 separate drummers.

lyrics

She said "it's more afraid of you"
But I can't take that point of view
Coz I have been bitten and burned too

He said "why don't you wait and see?"
But I can't wait indefinitely
Coz I have time limits on my dreams

She said "just fake it 'til you feel it"
But I can't deny all of my feelings
Coz I need some kind of release

And They said "you should just ignore that"
But I can't deliberately overlook that
Coz I know that is easily mistook for agreement

"Break a leg and give it time, poetry should always rhyme
Brush your hair and clean your teeth, TV's not to be critiqued
Go to bed and get to sleep, brown eyes don't look good in pink
I am only trying to help don't eat things bigger than your head
I am only trying to help
I am only trying to help
I am only trying to help you out"
