LYRICS

and by now that is more or less
only crystal meth underneath her dress
her presence still makes me beautifully nervous
when she sings it all wrong for the punk rock virgins

this year she only wrote half a song
she felt the words came out all wrong
she sang 'i'm a matchstick beauty
i'm easily flammable
but i wont burn for long'

and then there was only this one festival that took her
and when i'm honest, i think they had a deaf booker,
i think she was born with demons of all sorts
and ended up strangled by these umbilical chords

this year she only wrote half a song
she felt the words came out all wrong
she sang 'i'm a matchstick beauty
i'm easily flammable
but i wont burn for long'

Songminitaturen voll von schrägem Humor und bitterbösen Weltbetrachtungen, die schlecht
gestimmte Gitarre schnörkellos rudimentär, die Stimme ein wütendes Knurren, kaum ein Lied
länger als zweieinhalb Minuten. Wunderbar!“ (NN)

"Schräger Antifolk mit Bart, Klampfe und Mundharmonika. Zum Verlieben!" (A&F) ... more
