about

You know the feeling? That sense of the world slipping away from you, of your life sliding out of your control? Of understanding and patience giving way to fear and anger?

It’s horrible isn’t it. Makes your stomach churn.

‘Honestly’, the debut single from Middle England, bottles that feeling and sets it to an instrumental which recalls an alternate three kings - King Tubby, King Krule and King Crimson - duking it out in the back room of a south London pub.

lyrics

Honour me, honestly I would not mind
He's a gonner mate, I hate their guts
Follow me, hollow me just ain't got time
World'll swallow me, I hate their guts
Call on me, memory the best of times
You ugly. I hate their guts
What a snake, brought you inside of me
Honestly, I hate your guts

Honestly, I hate your face
Honestly, right down to your teeth
Honestly, and all that's underneath
Honestly, don't you hate me

If you'd seen the things I've seen
You would have seen your dreams, you would have seen your dreams
I see people walking down that street
And I hate their guts, oh I hate their guts
If you'd seen the things I've seen
You would have seen your dreams, you would have seen your dreams
I see people walking down that street
And I hate their guts, oh I hate their guts

But I'm a nice guy
I'm a cool dude
I'm a top cat
And I'm a big boss
Such a nice guy
I'm the kingpin
I'm the top dog
Such a cool cat

Honour me, honestly I would not mind
Could have loved her properly, but she weren't inclined
Part of me, got left behind
The part of me, that hates your guts
Gone away, memory I left behind
What was I gonna say? Whatever never mind
Part of me, is recklessly entwined
With part of me, that hates your guts

Honestly, I hate your face
Honestly, right down to your teeth
Honestly, and all that's underneath
Honestly, don't you hate me

about

Middle England image

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
