From third in their Out of Our Hands series of releases, the London pair of Luca Santucci and Ben Fitzgerald’s Electronic Soul Music number is a beguiling piece of melancholy synth pop. Alternative versions can also be enjoyed in the embedded Bandcamp page below, as well as more of their work in the Spotify link, including their 2021 album Made of Static, previously reviewed on Song Bar.
Stop the clock, half past ten
Stephanie, you're late again
It's the second time this week
The boss isn't going to be too pleased
So many distractions
You're judged on reactions
Don't they seem to be letting you down
Oh Stephanie
Oh can't you see
Oh Stephanie
You've got to stop this
Got to stop this having fun
Oh can't you see
Oh Stephanie
Oh can't you see
The life that you are living
Can't be done
Things do change, you stand still
Won't budge 'til you get your fill
Convinced it's all under control
But every night out takes its toll
So-called friends you mention
Providing temptation
Don't you think they are letting you down
Oh Stephanie
Oh can't you see
Oh Stephanie
You've got to stop this
Got to stop this having fun
Oh can't you see
Oh Stephanie
Why can't you see
The life that you are living
Can't be done
Do you like where you find yourself waking up
You know why these affairs keep on breaking up
Don't you see your future snaking up on you
You see your friends
You see your friends and all of them
Have cut you adrift
You're all at sea, they're moving on
Oh Stephanie, dear Stephanie
Why can't you see
The life that you are living
Can't be done
Stephanie, can't you see
You just got to stop
Got to stop having fun
