You love a protest and the truth is, I don't care
I'd rather spend my Sunday watching SVU instead
but I'll come down and see
boy, my city loves to scream
and I guess I'll scream too, if it's what you'd like me to do
You say, "out of towner?" you always get on better
with a mess of people just like me
cos you're a mess yourself you see
I see you, you were right
I should have stayed the night
Cos i fell asleep in my own arms, ended up in Mount Victoria.
Oooh, time has flown away
oooh, I could sit and watch you play guitar all day
and my neighbour's been pumping neil young songs again
it's hard to keep on rocking in the free world when you just wanna stay in bed
And what are we here for?
Does anybody know?
I'm looking around haphazardly, is the riot squad really necessary?
We're just lovely people and we just wanna sing
but the rich are getting richer and all I know is everything feels better with you
things feel better with you
You love a piss-up and the truth is I don't care
but I'd rather you sit next to me than go and smoke up over there
and protesting is not my thing, you know my social anxiety
but I'm not scared, cos you're not scared.
You say, "Out of towner?", you always get on better
with a mess of people just like me
cos you're a mess yourself you see
I see you, you were right
i shoulda stayed the night
cos I fell asleep in my own arms
fell asleep in my own arms
shivering in Mount Victoria.
and what are we here for?
Does anybody know?
I'm looking around haphazardly, is the riot squad really necessary
we're just lovely people and we just wanna sing
but the rich are getting richer and all I know is everything feels better with you
things feel better with you
I handle this cos of you
things feel better with you
ooh, time has flown away
oooh, I would rally beside you every single day.
I bought the physical copy of this demo, #2/50, the night before All Tomorrow's Shoeys. I bought it again almost two years later when Jen was in a bind. In between those purchases I bought it on vinyl from Craigos. What I'm trying to say is that I've bought this fucking thing three times now and I'd probably buy it again, so you know it's good, aye!
