Submarine 03:25
Swim beside submarine, swallowing my dreams Phone's ringing gotta pay those bills (Ring ring) Dome's spinning is this fake or real? (It's me) My Mum's screaming at my sister 'cus the mister is a dickhead and he's got no feel (Fuck Boris) Suicide submarine set sail (Goodbye) I'm not as sad as I feel (Set sail) And I'm gonna be where I gotta be, if it makes me steal beg, borrow or kill (Bang bang) I'm a bad habit I hop around the woods like a bad rabbit I rock up in a hood and a black jacket But you can't grab it, unless you wanna sail away? Come on my submarine, you can have my money honey Come on my submarine, you can make me sail away Come be my honey dream, not about the money, money Come be my super queen, you can make me sail away Swim beside submarine, swallowing my dreams Turn up the a.t, sounds of the eighties Rhapsody the greatest hit, the day my Mumma made me 99 problems, but I don't look or sound like Jay-Z I'm lazy, one foot in the grave, my wave is wavey! I'm glad He made me, Jesus had to save me Took a few looks, the good books, the pages' crazy Got a few odd looks turning scripture to Rizla It is what is, you want a fist or a kiss huh? Hard living giving me the chills (That's cold) Non-stop I'm beginning to feel (Too old) A little miffed off, just 'cus the mister, missed off my sister when he did those deals (He what?) Suicide submarine set sail (Goodbye) I'm not sick or unwell (Farewell) And I'm gonna be where I gotta be if it makes me steal, beg, borrow or feel (Bang bang) I'm an instigator I follow you online for your Insta data I'm swallowing your mind, can we kiss and make up Or kiss and break up, I guess we gotta sail away? Come on my submarine, you can have my money honey Come on my submarine, you can make me sail away Come be my honey dream, not about the money, money Come be my super queen, you can make me sail away Swim beside submarine, swallowing my dreams

Wake up, building's burning, it'll crumble and incase me Parents hate. Am I not a mirror of what they see Seven years bad luck since I've been broken all my days seem To fade, in many ways they're wasted, never made the A-Team Pity the fool, but I'm also pretty petty Always been a bitter buttercup, I'm parked up on the settee Elusive, useless, move like the London Yeti Abominable bombing foreign children on the tele And I'm watching, can't stop, I'm huffing and puffing I got my body and my mind filled with something Mind's feeling something, heartbeat is pumping Feels like I'm looking off the edge before jumping down Can't feel my legs man I'm buzzing These games help my braincells by numbing them Lonely boy, going home now I'm cumming To ideas of beauty, that come from someone I don't know, I've never been where I don't go I'm only Human so I fear what I don't know Camera zoom in, it's clear that a stones throw from here There are dear souls lost in that clear smoke Lost in their mind smog, rack up a couple lines dog Gotta set my clock a couple times if imma rise up Otherwise, I'm gonna lie in, I know there's people dying But harder than it looks, to convince yourself you're trying To move forward, long verses make the listener bored Long service, worship Christian lord But Krishna called, got pissed and missed the chord Then I ran around town looking for a little miss to kiss me I went away I'm alone now But I can't be afraid I got that Old Town Sound Oh I passed my days in the Old Town But I wouldn't last a day without my Old Town Sound I needed to change up my own style And now I'm getting down to the Old Town Sound Oh I passed my days in the Old Town But I wouldn't last a day without my Old Town Sound Wake up, and I realise it's all just been a farce Mask on, fuck it, mask off, show them all my scars Down the King's Head, fast cars and half-jars Ever since I was little, I wanted to sound like Nas does Good God kid, look what you gone and started Getting looks from girls, stoosh face as if I farted I'm a good place, go on put on your good face We in this race, and when we win, we die and then get martyred I made a couple bucks, gave more than a couple fucks Misbehaviour taught me take it on the chin like buttercups Waiting tables taught fake that bitter grin for better tips Top up all these pessimists, I'm twisted, hope you got that gist down You're cooler than cool More Human than Human but you man are cruel You're cooler than cool More Human than Human but you man are cruel You're cooler than cool More Human than Human but you man are cruel You're cooler than cool More Human than Human but you man are cruel I went away I'm alone now But I can't be afraid I got that Old Town Sound Oh I passed my days in the Old Town But I wouldn't last a day without my Old Town Sound I needed to change up my own style And now I'm getting down to the Old Town Sound Oh I passed my days in the Old Town But I wouldn't last a day without my Old Town Sound You're cooler than cool More Human than Human but you man are cruel You're cooler than cool More Human than Human but you man are cruel You're cooler than cool, More Human than Human but you man are cruel

about

‘The Lucky EP’ is the debut salvo from the weirdo brigade that is Middle England. Across five tracks this South London band/project/musical whatchamacallit whip up a sound that is by turns introspective and incendiary. Fugged lyrical musings skulk atop gnarled King Krule-esque guitar loops, monstrous rock hooks emerge from dubbed-out breakdowns, and chantalong choruses swell up out of instrumentals which pack enough cartoonish electro grizzle to give Gorillaz a run for their money.

about

Middle England London, UK

Middle England is what you get when a group of misfits are thrown together on a small island that can’t stand itself. Moody, angry, caught between the desire to live life to the fullest and the sense of being beaten down by a world which regards you with suspicion and hatred - this is troubled music for troubled times, made by a bunch of people with little to lose and less left to live for. ... more
