Mistakes

We all inherit our flaws
We all make choices
We don't have anything
Aside from what we do with them
Who did you help today
How did you help today
We all mistakes
We can try to learn from them
Hopefully there's another chance
Most of them aren't permanent

He's just trying to get to work on time
Dodging traffic, catching flies
He can't work from home
He's a frog alone
Risks his life to make a buck
Help him dodge that flatbed truck
He can't work from home
He's a frog alone
Loves his wife, his tadpoles too
For a quarter, he'll jump for you

Haven't done near enough
Haven't done
Haven't done near enough
Haven't done
It's enough paper blood
Emptied lungs of so many
Come forward and take what's yours
A building is not a person, just a glass and some chairs
We can't be so defensive about our fucking feelings
Empathy won't kill us, we should be embarrassed
We should be horrified

There are so many
Microscopic Entities
Some are good, some are bad
Just like us there's millions and billions of them
If they weren't there, you'd be dead
There's no you without them
There's no you without them
There's no you without them
There's no you

Moving on to the next thing
As quickly as I can
Finished don't mean perfect
Perfect isn't possible
Perfect isn't possible
Perfect isn't possible
Perfect is impossible

Ok

We don't have to see eye to eye
It's hard to keep my eyes closed all the time
We're pressed in so close it's hard to see around
I know I'm blocking your view too
This won't go on forever, though it feels that way
Is it alright to not be ok
Space and time are worth my weight in gold
Everyone needs some time alone
We're pressed in so close it's hard to see around
And I know it's hard for you too
This won't go on forever, though it feels that way
It's alright to not be ok
It's alright to not be ok

Happy for a Nihilist

I want what's best for you
But what is reasonable
Somewhere between a warm bed
And never working a day in your life
Somewhere between stomach fed
And never working a day in your life

Fucking Despair

This record made me want to make more music. Seeing him play live made me think I could make a record all on my own. It's funny, it's wonderful, it might inspire something in you.

If a band that sounds like the missing link between Mission of Burma and early Stereolab is an idea that appeals to you, here you go. Extremely excellent.

This Could Be Texas
by English Teacher
The UK upstarts' debut veers from sunny, psychedelic folk to bristling post-punk with reckless abandon without ever missing a beat.
