lyrics

Is he alright? He's seeming so uptight
Kept telling jokes, but the jokes kept getting darker
It's so depressing to see him so distressing
Is he alright? He's seeming so uptight

Cherchez la femme

It's such a shame how he's shifting all the blame
Yet to discover that women owe him nothing
He's taking action from privileged reaction
He's not alright, and he's acting so uptight

Cherchez la femme

Is he alright? He's seeming so uptight
Kept telling jokes, but the jokes kept getting darker
He's taking action from privileged reaction
He's not alright, and he's acting so uptight

Cherchez la femme
He's gone right round the bend
Cherchez la femme

//

I saw you daydreaming
And just who were you daydreaming about?
And does he have any idea
Just how lucky he is?

And it kills me
That it's not me
How I wish it were me
Caught in your reverie

I would've gone out tonight
But I'll just stay in, whatever that is worth to you
Maybe Stroszek's on TV
Got my Iggy and Joy Division records out

Though you'll see me shine
Like it don't bother me
Though I wish it were me
Caught in your reverie

You reread his messages
The way I do the ones you send to me
And does he understand
All the beauty in his life that could be?

And it kills me
That it's not me
How I wish it were me
Caught in your reverie

Got this record as a birthday gift from a bandmate and it coincided with the loss of my grandmother and a painful trip east to see to final arrangements. It provided both company and consolation during that difficult journey and thematically, is spot-on for this season of life. Can’t say enough good things about these guys. Creep Church

Noiserock + strings. Recommended for fans of Milemarker in their heyday as well as Godspeed... you black emperor. Yes, you read that right. Manic and menacing with bits of cinematic beauty. Interesting band! Conan Neutron
