Sunday League 02:40
lyrics

Hey! I think I've got it wrong Two step, high step, goose step Marching along Say! Can we be part of your scene? We've got the right shoes And we're proud to be keen Sunday league is good enough for me Happier now than when I was a teen Hey! I've learned a cool new trick Octave, scritch scratch, tippy tap Pretty cool Time Time is kinda weird What is great now Won't be great in a year Sunday league is good enough for me Happier now than when I was a teen All of the places and all of the faces Keep us in mind when you lose at the races Don't mean to brag but I think I can get some Sweet, sweet sounds when I'm smashing the system Sunday league is good enough for me Happier now than when I was a teen Sunday league is good enough for me Happier now than when I was a teen

Ruin 03:42

I never realised Exactly when I felt More than I ever should And now it's all I think about How will this all play out? Will this be worth the pain? The walls begin to fall I'm just too tired to be fake I'll ruin everything I'll ruin everything I won't try to stop this from happening I won't try to stop this from happening I won't try to stop this from happening I won't try to stop this from happening I'll ruin everything I'll ruin everything I won't try to stop this from happening I won't try to stop this from happening I won't try to stop this from happening I won't try to stop this from happening Feels like I've lost my mind But never felt so clear Wishing for solutions Make the confusion go away Completely different A polar opposite I couldn't expect this And now it's all become too late I'll ruin everything I'll ruin everything I won't try to stop this from happening I won't try to stop this from happening I won't try to stop this from happening I won't try to stop this from happening I'll ruin everything I'll ruin everything I won't try to stop this from happening I won't try to stop this from happening I won't try to stop this from happening I won't try to stop this from happening Stumble and fall is all I'm gonna do Get up and try to make it all come true I just wish I'd felt this sooner But this has only become apparent now I'll ruin everything I'll ruin everything I won't try to stop this from happening I won't try to stop this from happening I won't try to stop this from happening I won't try to stop this from happening I'll ruin everything I'll ruin everything I won't try to stop this from happening I won't try to stop this from happening I won't try to stop this from happening I won't try to stop this from happening

But It's Modern Murder 04:13

The noise is blaring And it all starts to sound the same Is this by them? By him? By her? What's their name? Post is something that comes in your letterbox Or is post just another nonsense prefix? Recycle Closed loop Goes around and around If you want a big hit you'll need that big mailman sound Forget what you know And concentrate on the act Affected performance and stutter To mask the chorus you lack But I'm sensitive Pensive I've read loads of books Maybe I'm jealous but baby, I'm not I've got none of the moves And I've not lost the plot Make it obvious Fake it Nebulous Pretend I'm really weird But secretly a Tory What brought in all this? Is it desire for fame? I struggle to understand and look for things to blame Or maybe it's age And this is just the way that it is I'm a dinosaur Pretend I'm down with the kids But I'm sensitive Pensive I've read loads of books Maybe I'm jealous but baby, I'm not I've got none of the moves And I've not lost the plot Make it obvious Fake it Nebulous Pretend I'm really weird But secretly a Tory But I'm sensitive Pensive I've read loads of books Maybe I'm jealous but baby, I'm not I've got none of the moves And I've not lost the plot Make it obvious Fake it Nebulous Pretend I'm really weird But secretly a Tory Maybe I'm jealous but baby, I'm not I've got none of the moves And I've not lost the plot Make it obvious Fake it Nebulous Pretend I'm really weird But secretly a Tory

Leaders 03:56
lyrics

Integrity is crumbling Everyone is reeling From all the deceit and lies Built on class division Race and immigration Set us out to victimise Pit against each other Disagree my brother Everything falls apart We've all let this happen What a situation Where do we go from here? Maybe France? Or will they push us back to sea? I pray to the Lord What lord should I pray to? The one with the shiny tights The Lord of the Dance Yes, that's Michael Flatley Or is it Michael Howard? The Riverdance is better Than taxing every last thing It's all going wrong my friend Rupert wants his dinner Findus fucking pancake His favourite dish of all With a side of shattered dreams What's my problem? All of it What's my problem? All of it You think you're better You think you're better You think you're better You think you're better Integrity is crumbling Everyone is reeling From all the deceit and lies Built on class division Race and immigration Set us out to victimise Pit against each other Disagree my brother Everything falls apart We've all let this happen What a situation Where do we go from here? Maybe France? Or will they push us back to sea? What's my problem? All of it What's my problem? All of it You think you're better You think you're better You think you're better You think you're better Can't look away from the television Spreading lies to my mum and dad Johnny from high school spreads his hate From his terrible, nasty Facebook page Leaders They say you're leaders I wouldn't trust you to run a bath People Don't count on people They voted this in I want to laugh Selfish Leaving the helpless Leaving the children with out food No one And I mean no one Can say that these guys are good? 'Cause they're not They want your money Just want your money What's my problem? All of it What's my problem? All of it You think you're better You think you're better You think you're better You think you're better

Friendly Fox 03:36

It's kinda staggering how fucking stupid you've got to be Think you're above it all We're waiting for the fall So don't look to me I won't help I won't phone Because I don't care You've dumbfounded us We won't make a fuss We'll just close the door Don't let the friendly fox in the henhouse Don't let the friendly fox in the henhouse Don't let the friendly fox in the henhouse Don't let the friendly fox in the henhouse Nice guy Forgettable And that's the worry And I just can't trust You're not so clever pal I think we've got you pegged So just walk on by We're not friends Anything And I just don't care Melodramatic It's automatic So please just fuck off Don't let the friendly fox in the henhouse Don't let the friendly fox in the henhouse Don't let the friendly fox in the henhouse Don't let the friendly fox in the henhouse One, two, three, four, five, six, seven Out the door, fall right past Heaven Eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve Reserved your place in Hell One, two, three, four, five, six, seven Out the door, fall right past Heaven Eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve Reserved your place in Hell Don't let the friendly fox in the henhouse Don't let the friendly fox in the henhouse Don't let the friendly fox in the henhouse Don't let the friendly fox in the henhouse

about

Live Laugh Love

The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is the little extra. When everything feels like an uphill struggle, just think of the view from the top. Don't wait for your ship to come in - swim out to it. And other motivational bullshit.

The first Sturdy Wrists release as a three piece.

Cover art is a self portrait by Lewie Peckham after losing a tooth. The photo felt perfect for these songs - especially after having already decided it was going to be called "Live Laugh Love".
