about
It's not about David Byrne
lyrics
He spits at the people when they're not his own
I thought we united, he says it's his home
I'm not racist or tasteless
They're invasive, they're hateful
At The Rose, the boys don't question his behaviour
Football shirts tucked into tracksuits
Counts as formal wear, not drug dealing casual
Hard times round here man, we gotta get through it
Though it's perfectly fine, when Tom or Paul do it
[Pre-Chorus]
We want it easy
Keep it polite
Don't wanna get on David Byrne's bad side
[Chorus]
Now he's afraid to go outside
To feed the ducks
To unionise
They keep on telling him
Just go back home
[Verse 2]
Homes under the hammer well it blares from the bar
Until daddy picks him up, in a European sports car
A 19 plate?
Well he muses who made it
Built in England he wonders? a Britishmans labour
It's painful to watch as he watches the chase
As he hates all his neighbours, he praises his saviour Nige
[Pre-Chorus]
We want it easy
Keep it polite
Don't wanna get on, David Byrne's bad side
[Chorus]
Now he's afraid to go outside
To feed the ducks
To unionise
They keep on telling him
Just go back home
He’s told them all, plenty of times
He’s from round here, they don’t sympathise
They keep on telling him
Just go back home

The new direction of prog? I would not be opposed! There is some immensely inventive and creative song-crafiting going on here--not to mention the mind-blowing heart-felt,100% all-in vocal performances of Ollie Judge. I am a believer! wafiii
"Flower Of Life" yanks riot grrrl south through the unmistakable garage psych sound indispensable to the last 20-odd years of rock music out of Los Angeles. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 2, 2023
