about

This is the heart of it all, really.

It might be a slightly unfashionable viewpoint, but I really do think that bands write chewier songs if they're not making a living from it - there's nothing like the yoke of a day job to keep you grounded.

Fortunately, with songs like ours, we're unlikely to be giving up the day jobs any time soon...

lyrics

Words:

Sometimes I miss smoking
Especially when the road is long
And the road is always very long
These days
Sometimes I miss Jesus
But the nerve has gone
And it’s time to sing a different song
These days
So it’s supermarket sushi
And it’s Henlow dogs on Sunday
And where did we leave the kids?
So it’s Christmas in October
And we’ll work ’til we fall over
And what can we leave the kids?
They won’t forgive us for what we did.
Sometimes I miss smoking
Especially when the road is long
And the road is always long
These days

Their dry-as-a-biscuit pop vignettes provide the perfect soundtrack for speculating on the madness to come. Viva Donald Trump, global warming & the death of democracy. Viva the Darlings. ... more
