Liner Notes

Another more indie rock-inspired song.

Some people form the bedrock of communities that just get stuff done. This song is about them and how they come for you if you try to break that community!

Real bass, real guitars, Logic X drums.

Inspired in part by the band Belle and Sebastian.

Lyrics

[intro]
1 2 3 4!
[Verse 1]
I'll be the one,
who is making the tea,
I am the one,
Who is good company,

I am the person,
Who listens to you,
As you rant and you rave,
About everything new.

[Chorus 2]
I am industrious,
Never combustious
Knitting and fitting things into the day,
Wholesome and diligent,
never beligerant,
Honest and patient, a quiet church mouse

[verse 2]
There is a limit,
Of crazy ideas,
I got your point,
But you're hurting my ears,

There is a limit
To what you can't know,
Without being broken,
Now I gotta go,

[Chorus]
I am industrious,
Never combustious
Knitting and fitting things into the day,
Wholesome and diligent,
never beligerant,
Honest and patient, a quiet church mouse

[spoken]
So yeah!

[verse 3 - breakdown]
You cannot control me,
Enough of your spite,
I will not go gentle,
Into that night,

I will be working,
Through the derision and noise,
To show the difference,
Between women and boys,

[Chorus]
I am industrious,
Never combustious
Knitting and fitting things into the day,
Wholesome and diligent,
never belligerent,
Honest and patient, a quiet church mouse

I am industrious,
Never combustious
Knitting and fitting things into the day,
Wholesome and diligent,
Never belligerent,
Honest and patient, a quiet church mouse

[outro]
Honest and patient, a quiet church mouse.
Honest and patient, a quiet church mouse.
[end]

Well, this is quite a snappy, catchy, rocking number. I think you may have a hit on your hands here. What to say? The point of view is fantastic. It's not often that you come across a song like this that opens with a reference to making tea. You rock in such a delightfully twee way!
