lyrics

Next month made up of masturbation
Dirty talk for old frustration
Curtains drawn in the afternoon
Pity smothers any pleasure pretty soon, with the
Sunscreen Song on infinite repeat
Setting the trend for dressing gown chic, watching
Jeremy Kyle and Dr.Phil all week
Shout at the scumbags, cry with the meek
It’s the kind of trash you seek at the peak of your weakness

Have you proved your point yet?
Rung out every last little drop of regret

The next month passes in preparation
Trying to improve, but too impatient, when you
Text your ex It’s like running on crutches
Rush to win her back but you buckle with the grudges
‘Cause you left your last fight looping on repeat, it’s the
Unfinished argument you mutter in your sleep, it’s the
First thought when she agrees to meet
Should I set the record straight with a vitriolic speech?
Should I try to cling on like some lovesick leech?
Should I try to be a man, keep my feelings out of reach, but then
In a flash, she’ll breach the peak of my weakness…

Have you proved your point yet?
Rung out every last little drop of regret…

Next month finding some small foundation
A kind of comfort in crude creation
Little degrees of discipline
Allow yourself a lopsided grin.

Have you proved your point yet?
Rung out every last little drop of regret
Do you wish you’d never met?
Better for the fall and break of it all.

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
