  • Hardly Working - Limited Edition Cassette
    Cassette + Digital Album

    We're back from our Never Work / Hardly Working tour and we have just 25 copies of the EP on cassette left! We expected to come back with many more, but perhaps what the kids have been saying is finally true and tapes are back at last? Anyway, if tapes are your thing and this is a thing you want, this is where you can get this thing, while they last. Apologies for the shipping costs - Canada Post is squeezing blood from every stone they can these days.

lyrics

Hey there baby sweet polyester polo
Club after work, don’t wanna go solo
Tray full of wine and I’m shaking like a sour
Serve the petit bourgeoisie for six bucks an hour
My whole life feels like a barback with a paper cut
Lime, salt, blood mix, stop me when you’ve had enough
Guy says his pint hasn’t got any head
But he’s willing to take the other kind instead
In the cellar swapping out the syrup for the soda
Wishing I wasn’t on the next week’s rota
Smoke break, pee break, any break I’ll take it
Smile for your coin girl, it’s easy to fake it

There’s no way I’ll do what they say when they say 
Wash your uniform!
Wash your uniform!
Wash your uniform!

Slicing and burning through the skin on my fingers
Roast beef perfume, yeah I’d say it lingers
Boss is shouting for me to mop the floor,
But my sights are firmly set on the front door
Sure I can fix that table for you darling,
Just need to grab that coaster from your Carling
Apron stains, baked ziti and cheese
Remember when your mom taught you to say please?
Club after work and I don’t wanna go solo
Dancing queen in a ziti-stained polo

There’s no way I’ll do what they say when they say 
Wash your uniform!
Wash your uniform!
Wash your uniform!

Their densely populated genre-shifting songs are packed with an abundance of literary, historical, cultural, and pop-cultural forebears, heroes and villains, subjects and objects, stories and hooks.
