about

This one's dedicated to the Tory politicians who are dismantling our country. And also sort of about how there are secret, undercover Tories lurking everywhere around you. Stay vigilant.

We have no particular grievances against The Times newspaper (I'm sure there are some to be had) but it just kinda worked in the song. Just wanted to have that for the record.

This one is also sort of about how people always assume things will get better. Sometimes things do actually get worse.

lyrics

Does your brother know,
that you don’t go
where the people meant you to go?

'Cause they wove your breath out of beer and wine
but do they know that you go for
the Tories and the Times?

And they say it must get better,
well it fucking better – it fucking better
They say that statistically, realistically,
it’s not a possibility
that things will get better for me

And do you like this politician
he’s got filthy eyes
and he knows where your mother lies
he’s got your personal statement, your money and your time
you get knocked up by a wasteman and regret your whole life

well I guess that makes two of us

'Cause they say that it gets easier as you get older
well I beg to differ, there are some things that just get shitter,
you make a philosophy for the entire night,
cut it out at the root in the morning,

And they say it must get better but I don’t know whether
These are some storms that I can weather and
They say that it’ll get easier in time
I’ll be watching the clock until the morning
