lyrics
Tell me what you’re really thinking,
I’m a moocher, bad romancer?
Feelin’ like I hardly know ya,
It’s so brutal.
Are you trying to phase me out?
I’m a living zombie sometimes
But I go to work and I think of you
If I don’t face it no one’s gonna
For my failings, I’m responsible, man.
Still I’m never getting what I want
Cos life and love is pretty tough
And you can tell your friends I’m junk
But just this once I wish that you would
Hold me up, baby.
You know I need someone to hold me up.
I ruminate on sad obsessions
Do I do enough with the time I’m given?
There’s no way of ever knowing.
Self destruction is a complicated mess.
And you know why I keep this front.
Cos life and love is pretty tough.
And you can tell your friends I’m junk
But just this once I wish that you would hold me up.
The backing tracks on this album have seen serious improvement since Hatchie's debut, and the tracks have more variety. I'm not sure if there's been much improvement on the vocals, but overall this is a better (and longer!) showing from this artist. CyanStrawberry
