Problematic 02:26
I count the years by the jacaranda’s bloom Last year I remember I was thinking of you But today I just remembered how much I used to think of you And how slowly I became someone entirely new I’m not sure what my edges have been sharpened into But rust and fat have been ground down to bone and sinew I don’t have a six pack I’ve got a keg of chicken noodle soup That keeps me warmer than an ice pack like you I hope you do good Through whatever you do But You’re not an underdog you’re just a dog In the least literal meaning of the word You branded a sign into your forehead that says I’m hurt And then you bitched that you were burnt Mum said those lines were problematic But I don’t think words are static And Karen O would say you’re a no good dick And I was just a stupid bitch You’re not even close to my least favourite person You’re just an easy source of a verse man I don’t miss you I miss what I used to see But I built some glasses Out of me

Tea 03:54
Sweetheart you’re like The sugar in my tea Unnecessary Sweetheart you’re like My tea I prefer coffee But really I am all I need Except for cigarettes and mum and coffee and sometimes Codral when champion ruby gets me coughing up things I don’t wanna see There are plenty of sharks in the sea And ventti’s are my preference but I tally-hos when I need distraction more than stimulation Truthfully I dally rare and respectfully This song’s not for anyone but me I hope you like the melody If any line’s felt in your spine Don’t take it up with me Straighten your back clean up your act Start by washing yourself of thoughts of me Because I still see them in your teeth The itch in your mane and the cross of your feet The stare from the left to the right of me As a man who doesn’t own sunnies I see that one real easy I’m getting so close to what I want to be I just wish I didn’t want what you don’t And none of the other lines are about you or should be taken literally But I’m done with girls I want a woman finally I see red flags but I’m a matador I deserve better I just haven’t met her I’m not my father’s son I’m my granddads little guy I’m not too small to standover you And I’m not too big to cry

Daddy Issues 03:25
Hey dad Am I still your little boy Now that we don't talk? Yeah I don't pay that And I'm still annoyed That your pain spoils every ploy Buy me another toy Why do you get to be the boy? Why do I have to be the man who understands your every fucked up choice? Put up your hands, raise your white flag and make a noise That's not a yelp I could've used your help Oh well I think you're why I go for those girls I think you're why I took 23 years to start to love myself So condolences for your own fragile mental health But the onus is on you This won't just fix itself Because without you I've been doing well

Yolandi 03:25
Yolandi I coulda loved you Got tired of waiting Oh oh oh Yolandi Come to Newtown I’ll show you around Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Yolandi You look tired I’ve got a bed I can’t speak Afrikaans But I can still hold your hand I can’t speak Afrikaans But I can still be your man Your man your man Oh oh oh I can hold your hand Your hand Your hand Your hand Yolandi If you hear this Just give me a miss Yolandi I’m sick of this Mutual selfishness Yolandi Do you wanna go to France with me? I don’t have much money but I’ve got such funny anecdotes and I can surprise you structurally I can’t speak Afrikaans But I can still hold your hand I can’t speak Afrikaans But I can still be your man Your man your man Oh oh oh I can hold your hand Your hand Your hand Your hand

about

I really hope you like this
I really hope you wonder why you do
I hope some old stuff and some glue sounds like something new
I hope you see what I can do with such little skill
And find the brown brick road that’s only there for you
I hope you are fully aware of every poo
But if one sneaks up on you
Paint something with it dude
