lyrics
Call me Rosemary
I'll accept the lobotomy
Recite The Lord's Prayer and sing
God bless America damn my brain
You ever feel what it's like to fear
All of the voices they can't hear
Calling you to a life in the gutter
Forgotten by your father and mother
And if I cry will they hear my screams
Or is the tea dance over for me
And if I cry will the hear my screams
Or is the tea dance over for me
Turned into a cripple I'll learn to crawl
No one has to know I'm not normal
Send me to the madhouse for backward youth
I'll keep turning around just to find you
Embarrassed family
I beg of you euthanize me
I'd rather die than shit myself
All I ask is a little help
You ever feel what it's like to fear
Your own reflection in the mirror
Forcing you to a life in the shadows casting lots and dividing up your clothes
And if I cry will they hear my screams
Or is the tea dance over for me
And if I cry will the hear my screams
Or is the tea dance over for me
Turned into a cripple I'll learn to crawl
No one has to know I'm not normal
Send me to the madhouse for backward youth
I'll keep turning around just to find you
Well maybe they can just pretend I'm normal
Well maybe you can just pretend I'm normal mama
Maybe they can just pretended I'm normal over and over and over again
Well maybe they can just pretend I'm normal
Well maybe you can just pretend I'm normal mama
Maybe they can just pretended I'm normal over and over and over again
Backward youth...

Across their second full-length, the London post-punks offer up thrumming motoriks, industrial tones, and sullen sing-a-longs in abundance. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 17, 2024
