about

This song is about a particularly excessive time in my life before I made the move from Sydney to Melbourne. Paranoia and shame are the operant themes, written from a perspective that felt very real and frightening at the time. Many thanks go to my dear friend John Floreani for co-writing and joining me on the track x

lyrics

Here’s to the patron saint
of rum and jumped cocaine
all those little deaths
have grown so petulant
and now I’m not thinking straight

Burning in the sky
for two days at a time
oh but when I look around
it’s so conspiratorial
competitive and typical

Oh my darlin’
there’s been nothin’ here
but a rumour mill so high
and wide it covered all the light
if all we have is each other
then don’t you dare look down on me
like we’re so different suddenly

Here’s to the patron saint
of rum and jumped cocaine
where the fuck are all my friends?
whats left of my common sense?
whats left.
