lyrics

My heart’s gonna get up and leave one day. All I can do is complain. Or maybe it's for good, I can still feel a pulse. I’m not too sure about yours. So what if I criticise all the time. Maybe you should too. When you roll your eyes, I know it won’t be for the same reasons that I do. Shallow minds and cheap talk as far as these two eyes can see. I'm only waiting to place my I told you so's. There’s plenty to ruin my sleep. So what if I comment on all the bad news at once. Our future’s so bright, I can’t even see. Well, maybe I'm just turning blind. How do you get by on such poor standards.

At first I was a bit hesitant, thinking "This sounds like Paul Westerberg fronting Leatherface." and then I thought: "Paul Westerberg fronting Leatherface would be AWESOME." System_Error

Well I first listened to this a couple of times on a quiet Sunday afternoon and it really took hold - Emotionally charged songs that resonate with killer riffs that tip a hat to HDQ and Leatherface.. A real gem of a second album that will stay in my top playlist for a while! Dave Miller

Not Like This
by Iron Chic

Iron Chic's narrative, some of the most aware & conscientious lyrics you will find in punk. The music is just as damn good... "There's no answers, so take a guess & make up the rest" "I couldn't stand to watch you die, so I died first, that's how I survived" 🌸💀🌸💀🌸 ©ough©ool
