“A microscopic succubus”. Crisp, clever, caustically witty, ironic, punchy new post-punk by the Liverpool trio with a first-person narrative about a greedy landlord. The song was recorded the Wirral’s Yellowbird Studio and produced by Gilla Band’s Daniel Fox. It comes from their forthcoming new EP.

Recently I decided
I was gonna become a parasite
A microscopic succubus
That sustains itself off a weaker host
Keep a metaphorical foot
On a metaphorical head
I was gonna look out for number one
'Cause I'm an ideas man
See, I've been looking to make an investment
An investment in my future self
I've been looking to make my money
Work for me
So I divided my one bedroom flat into four separate smaller flats
And furnished them with premium appliances
The devil isn't just in the dеtail
He's woven into the carpеt
I advertised at seven percent above the market rate
To attract a higher class of renter
Its close proximity to the city makes it an attractive proposition
To a high flyer in finance or a family with four incomes
They say the calibre of the client reflects the quality of the asset
So I specified that claustrophobics need not apply
After all, if you can't fit all of your possessions in one room
Then you've probably got a problem with greed
Prefer to keep my questions to a minimum
Operate a "don't ask, don't tell"
It helps when things get sticky a little bit further down the line
When reality starts to kick in
You've got to be cruel to be kind to make it in this game
It's dog eat dog, it's a jungle out there
Nobody helped me along my way
Except my parents and the parents of my parents' parents
