lyrics

This one goes out to all the poets in the flat caps,
Procrastinating cover versions,
boys clubs & backslaps,
Despite your assumptions,
I wasn’t born yesterday.
I’ll decline the invitation,
I won’t pay to play.

You’re artfully avoiding all mention of the Mrs,
Backhanded compliments,
swap handshakes for kisses,
Trying to convince me all the things I’ve heard aren’t true
Well it’s no worries (piggybacker/motherfucker) cause we don’t like you.

Your ego is huge, can’t fit your head through the door,
I’m faking my smiles, conversations a bore
So churn out another song ‘bout how your ex is a whore
I can’t stand, comprehend, won’t pretend any more.

I’m sorry about your art
(I’m sorry bout it)
I’m sorry about your art
(I’m sorry bout it)
I’m sorry about your art
(I’m sorry bout it)
I’m sorry about your art
(I’m sorry bout it)

“Don’t worry baby, I love your sound
And I’m sure you’ll do well it’s an all-female crowd.
Oh you’re a girl? We were expecting a guy,
I don’t know how you’ll do,
But I’ll give you a try.
You’re pulling my leg that’s your boyfriend’s guitar
Well I just had to say that you play really well
For a girl.”
