To hear the rest of the EP and other songs by Ratbag, see also the other embedded links below, as well as the Instagram page. Out on Mischief Records / Universal.
Oh mum, I think there’s an old tree
Growing out of my tongue
“Oh so stupid Sophie”
That’s what you say
So I run to the store to buy cheese
Maybe when I get home
I won’t have a tree inside of me
Then we can laugh
Then we can laugh
I’m a dead end kid
On a dead end street
Wanna smoke a cig
With my favourite freaks?
Cuz we’re dead end kids
On a dead end street
All the high end men
And their high end ways
We’re living in a wage war
But whatever you say
I’m just a dead еnd kid
Waiting to kiss your grave
Oh, don’t you wanna know darlin?!
(na na na na na na na na)
Oh i think you do
I'll fly to you
Oh mum, I think there’s an old tree
Growing out of my tonguе
“Oh so stupid Sophie”
That’s what you say
So I run to the store to buy cheese
Maybe when I get home
I won't have a tree inside of me
Cuz if you even knew me
You’d be cookin' up a stew
And throwing every part of you
Into the pot
Oh boo hoo!
You’ve been living in my head
For years if I can count
Haven’t paid a single
Cent of rent
From sleeping on the couch
Get out!
(Down get down, down get down)
I’m a dead end kid
On a dead end street
Wanna smoke a cig
With my favourite freaks?
Cuz we’re dead end kids
On a dead end street
All the high end men
And their high end ways
We’re living in a wage war
But whatever you say
I’m just a dead end kid
Waiting to kiss your grave
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, get down
Get down
Get down you know I’m on my
Tippy tip toes
You know
I’m gonna get you
On my tippy toes
And they gonna get close
Yeah they gonna get close
And they gonna fly to you
