My new single's A-side: Wrong Way, Bigfoot

My brain hasn't quite cottoned on to the fact that I'm not in a band anymore, nor am I likely to be, largely cause I simply cannot be fucking arsed. But my brain keeps thinking it is, so here is the A-side to the single I'll never ever release. This one has some music written for it too, at least in basic form. And yes so what indeed.

__




Somethin’s lurking in the dark and the deep
Somethin’s lurking in the dark and the deep
Feel his foul breath on the back of your neck

Too scared to go to bed cause I will not sleep
The monster rips your eyes out and murders in dreams
This time I’m ready and I’ll turn and I’ll scream:

Wrong way Bigfoot



Everybody dopey mined, dopey faces
Everybody look like they running better races
But everybody stuck in the same old stasis

If you think other people better than you
And they never really understand you
Take a walk and see the bullshit going on around you

Huh


Somethin’s lurking in the dark and the deep
Somethin’s lurking in the dark and the deep
Somethin’s lurking in the dark and the deep



Heterosexual life is so very very boring
All that late-night drunken mindless pawing
Chemsex hangover regrets on every morning

I’ve had my share of fifth-gear, drunken moments
Snorting, pilling, fucking, smoking roll-ups
Avoiding straight-haired, burned-out numb-nuts grownups:

Wrong way Bigfoot



Now the oceans become mostly synthetic
The plastic piles up only cause we let it.
That doesn’t fit into my dialectic

Ask yourself: what has Marx published lately?
Starting to believe he’ll never save me
Crazy as it seems, I think he hates me:

Wrong way Bigfoot



And then. Heavenly voices sing - 
"Come to us join us
Come to us join us
Confess and lose your sins
Love will be everything"

STOP.

Everything?
Unlikely.

AND GO:

Wrong way Bigfoot


There’s no God on a cloud sat waiting for us
There ain’t no angels - no soul-soothing chorus
And if there were they’d do best to just ignore us

I’m just another fucked-up feckless creature
God forbid I should ever want to meet ya
Evolution died in the dirty mouth of Nietzsche

Wrong Way Bigfoot


But he could slap that bass like a motherfucker
