about

I think there's a Beck influence behind this. I can't remember exactly what's going on but there are two guitar tracks and one has a heavy(ish) phaser over it.

The chords are Db Ab Db Gb (capo 4th fret).

This is one of those songs that I should have done properly. Overlaid some vocals, etc, but I'm exorcising my demons here. It is what it is.

lyrics

Buttons on my shirt
Have a habit of getting unfastened
Laces on my shoe
They find a way of getting loosened too

I couldn't find my toaster this morning
'Cause it had decided to take a bath
It's never too early to have a tequila
Someday I will have the last laugh

Buttons on my coat
Have a habit of taking a leap of faith
Paintings on my wall
All depicting a vintage metal lathe

I reached the edge of the map this morning
And so I turned my car right back
Some days are like that, it's best to call it quits
You might as well read a paperback

about

Tundra Cats Brighton, UK

Tundra Cats make the world inexorably better, like a perpetual present made up of one continually changing apocalypse. Or something like that. A very slack band.
