lyrics
When I was at school I had a centre parting
And I was far too gentle-hearted
I should never have listened to my sister
It thickened, grew and got much bigger
The tough kids out by the shops would snigger
And I couldn’t talk to my babysitter
I needed more than a pair of scissors
Some style advice, and a cut with clippers
Now I had strong strong strong
Feelings and
I had long long long
Obsessions
That I never cared to mention
I tried prayers for my redemption
But all I got was hypertension
It was my fault
I thought
That what I sought went unanswered and left me empty
I was always on my best behaviour
A chaste teenager
Quietly denatured
I was always on my best behaviour
A secret unbeliever
You can’t slip your own skin
I was told god watched me every moment
From inside my head, not in the open
Now that’s fine if you believe it
But as a kid it made me feel guilt
For tiny things
Like Losing Uncle Arthur’s gold ring
The toy car stolen from the grass
Or for having a crush on someone in my class
Especially if their parents had the wrong kind of beliefs
Oh, I felt trapped for weeks
It took a long time to say how I felt different
But I did
And everything turned out alright
But I did
And everything turned out alright
Now I had strong strong strong
Feelings and
I had long long long
Obsessions
That I never cared to mention
I tried prayers for my redemption
But all I got was hypertension
It was my fault
I thought
That what I sought went unanswered and left me empty
I was always on my best behaviour
A chaste teenager
Quietly denatured
I was always on my best behaviour
A secret unbeliever
You can’t slip your own skin
Upon first listen, the voice reminds me of Julia Holter (who I love!), but the arrangements are more organic. When the final track bowed out with a whisper, I was sad it was over. Lovely work. Soloman Tump
Hits that wonderful spot that Broadcast's later work hits in terms of seamlessly bringing together folkloric earthiness with inventive electronics, while sounding very much its own thing. Can't wait for the full-length album! Mute Branches
