After 2023’s excellent debut LP Snake Sideways, the Nottingham experimental indie quartet featuring the distinctive voice of singer Chris Bailey return with dark, quirky, sharp and pointed song about childhood memories, a bully and a reference to the Terminator 2 actress. Out on Exact Truth Records. To explore and enjoy more by Do Nothing, see also the other embedded links below.
I can hear you through the wall
While the room goes black
I can tell you're faking it
'Cause no-one laughs like that
Appeared in the 1980s
To fix a lightbulb on set
Tolerate it on a long-term basis
'Cause nobody cared if he left
And how could I hope to concentrate
When I'm surrounded by you, Andrew?
Maybe I'll go out tonight
Maybe it won't be that bad
She said, "fine, you can tag along
But don't you dare wear that"
Linda Hamilton movies
Are the only ones on my shelf
I can't bear to see a machine gun
In the arms of anyone else
And how could I hope to concentrate
When I'm surrounded by you, Andrew
I'm about six feet tall
And I've never broken a bone
I'm happy to never to have eaten
A horse as far as I know
Back when I was a boy
They put a picture of a dinosaur
Up on the board and I cried
'Cause I'd never seen one before
Feels like there's so many around now
That none of them really mean much
An idiot ain't so bad
But a bully is a lot to love
I fit in with everybody
And really I only came
In the hope of seeing a disaster
Fly up into your face
And how could I hope to concentrate
When I'm surrounded by you, Andrew?
