lyrics

Regret the events that can’t be retraced
Like six missed calls from private numbers
All those photos with thumb over lense…
Near dead on a strangers couch again

You can never pinpoint the part from pre-drink to down and out,
Your shoes scuffed and your split ends pronounced in fear,
Can you hear them say…

Welcome to the wilderness years
Telesales execs with fundraising peers
Another toast to our bright careers

Make a muted midday exit
As you savour your chewing gum breakfast
Wallet emptied of its paper possessions
Y’can’t blame it on a double dip recession
Still can’t remember last night’s session

Bachelors of arts and cold calling

Watch the clock and count the commission
Sleepwalk through, the only ambition…

Junk Drawer lead the pack, swerving into unsettling territory - I love this band's sheer unpredictability. I remember their gig at Output where they followed an excellent set by The Bonk. These guys are the cat's pyjamas! Ursula's Crow
