Sometime in 2012, my friend Tom Astill called me from a cafe. Tom's a hungry guy and he stopped in for lunch by himself. Reportedly, at the same time as this happened, the song 'All By Myself' by Meatloaf came on the radio. I started this song at that point and built outwards.
lyrics
I could've drank ten litres of orange juice that day
In a sad and underwhelming bit to wash away the taste of watching you fumbling through the last trimester of your pregnant pause.
You said: "I don't think we can do this anymore"
With Blacktown in the distance, and sulphur in the air
Dioxide, or die inside? I decide there's no distinction there
I sat in a cafe and 'All By Myself' played and the irony was not lost on the waitress.
She said: "I don't think you can eat here anymore"
It's not as if you have wrecked me for the entirety of time
I mean, it sucks. It's f u c k e d.
But I will not be set aside for later
I'm worth greater than this, or any other setting sum
I really drank four litres of orange juice that day
A citrus litmus with my breakfast; a pulpy and paltry buffet of lukewarm food
I thought that you'd be more receptive than you've been heretofore
You said: "I don't think we can do this anymore"
Folk-Punk?! What! Used to love them to the point where I embraced Markwell's self-destructiveness, self-pity, contempt towards her friends, and delusions of grandeur. Do you know why? she had the soul, genius, emotional whimsy and dare to meet us in a world where getting a dog tattoo is "too ambitious," James Joyce is an insult, and whoever says "no" to romantic advances gets crushed in the end. Let's just say, she has more bones to pick with the males than any other artist I'm aware of. OQ
I've always stayed away from punk sort of stuff, because a lot of it just doesn't do much for me, but The Football Club is definitely an exception, and has started turning me to look for more artists, because I can't get enough of this style Monkeyfish
