Liner Notes

This began life as little idea labelled "glammo thing". Wasn't sure what to do with it, so hacked away at it bit by bit over the last couple of weeks and landed on ... whatever this is.

I don't know what the words mean. I was a few drinks in when I wrote them, then mixed them too loud. Ah well.

Guitars: Knockoff Les Paul through Bif Muff Pi, Tonex
Bass: Fender Jaguar through Guitar Rig 7
Drums: Kontakt Just Add Drums
Synths: Odyssey, Kontakt Analog Dreams

Lyrics

have you ever been so eagle-eyed
that you could have been a bird?
all the focus on masquerade and ignoring the absurd

will you ever have the courage to be the firstborn
among nobodies?
will you ever have the knowledge to be the lastborn
with advantages?

have you ever thought about the lies
that you told to be the boss?
all the cunning of a manatee, or a fox on the sauce

will you ever have the courage to be the firstborn
among nobodies?

put the nepotism back
cut the lower-born some slack
put the nepotism back on the shelf where it goes

bring the executions back
cut napoleon some slack
put the nepotism back on the shelf where it goes

have you ever been so patronised?
