UMAMI 03:12
I was cooking and you got mad Just because I didn't add The one component that you need I forgot the UMAMI Salty, spicy, sour and sweet I thought that was all you'd need? Salty, spicy, sour and sweet But I don't have UMAMI At the table, I watched your face To see how you found the taste But to be honest, I couldn't tell And it's because you lack in UMAMI as well Salty, spicy, sour and sweet I thought that was all you'd need? Salty, spicy, sour and sweet But I don't have UMAMI Do I have all the seasoning that it takes Do you want to have a taste If I have a little more sugar Would you stop being my butcher Should I strip myself back? So I'm a bit more bland so you can handle me Your weak taste buds are fragile Because I'm spicy You say I did this to you I took your flavour and turned you into an unseasoned roux I know I try to be tough Cause you tell me my flavour isn't good enough But still when I see you I melt Reminded of the feelings I once felt Then I bring myself back to reality I don't eat food that's dirty I'm a prize cow You have no power over me now Now I know what I need to taste Me Salty, spicy, sour and sweet I thought that was all you'd need? Salty, spicy, sour and sweet But I don't have UMAMI ---------------------------------------

ICKY HOLE 05:47
I have a feeling It’s an icky feeling I know what you did I know about your icky deed I’ve got lots of problems So many I don’t know what to do All my problems Are too much for you Unhealthy habits See them manifesting Constants checking Constant texting You carried her bag You should’ve known your place Damn your eyes I’m eyes without a face You sat with her You should’ve known your place Damn your eyes I’m eyes without a face You gave her a nickname You should’ve known your place Stop staring at her face!! You held hands with her You should’ve known your place Damn your eyes Stop staring at her face!! You know he'll make you feel shit You know he's just not worth it (I know you made me feel shit, I know you're just not worth it) Now I know what the truth really meant Now I know all the things I had in my head weren’t just me Paranoid and crazy How could you do this to me? Now I see how things really were I just wish I could’ve said FUCK YOUR FEELINGS Don’t go back to something that you shouldn’t have And don’t get more when you’re already done ---------------------------------------

MEN SUCK 03:43
I can't even leave my house when there are men about trying to slide into my DMs what the fuck is wrong with MEN? MEN SUCK, yes it's true don't you know what men can do? and I don't feel safe when I walk the street all these men should be BOWING AT MY FEET! women should be cooking food but all I do is sit and brood men are bloody everywhere WHY CAN'T MEN JUST DISAPPEAR? MEN SUCK, yes it's true don't you know what men can do? and I don't feel safe when I walk the street all these men should be BOWING AT MY FEET! loose clothing to hide my shape, because of you and your eyes scowering every inch of my body broken drum stick in my bag, jaw clenched, fists at the ready any time I leave the house after dark headphones in, music on full volume to drone the sound of you yelling disgusting comments as you drive by with your friends anytime someone puts their hand on my shoulder I'm reminded of you and your unwanted, unconsented touch "you're a girl, you have to be careful," my parents told me this and they're right I do, 'cause of you men always rely on girls so why don't women rule the world? they'll still blame us in the end say we're the ones who're making men AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ---------------------------------------

about

Through the tautoko of their home town and many months of live gigging, Lucy (guitar, vocals), Deborah (noise, vocals), Gemma (synth, vocals), and Mads (drums, vocals) have built a serious-not-serious collection of noise-pop, posty-punk songs that awhi the abrasive and the pensive bits of life.
