about

Quavers is about that run in at the bar with the one who outstays their welcome in every social interaction. It's about the men you meet who open with 'I'm not racist, but…' and it's written to out the bad behaviours of the trust fund babies whose actions force you into angry outbursts and confectionary theft.

It's a song written to play live and an experiment to see where our sound can go next, influenced by bands like Idles, Pulled Apart by Horses, The Streets, Courtney Barnett and Enter Shikari. It is meant to be turned up loud and screamed along to.

lyrics

Lyrics:

You think you bear a supersonic charm
But it's just glitter covered lies
And I don't have the time for a man
Still dressed in chinos

You've handwoven your status quo
With lines of yes men and Daddy's money
It's a shame you neglected to address
Your rotten soul

WE'RE NOT GONNA MAKE IT
YOUR TIME IS WASTED
WE'RE NOT GONNA MAKE IT
YOUR TIME IS WASTED

Don't you know you're just a snake and a rat
Just a snake and a rat, come on
Don't you know I might just give you a slap
I might just give you a slap, come on

And now the swarms of crowd descend
As we just dance around the ring
Who will be the first alpha male
To throw?

I'LL KILL YOU NOW
I'LL KILL YOU NOW
I'LL KILL YOU NOW
AND THEN I'LL EAT YOUR QUAVERS
I'LL KILL YOU NOW
I'LL KILL YOU NOW
I'LL KILL YOU NOW
AND THEN I'LL EAT YOUR QUAVERS

I'll kill you now
I'll kill you now
I'll kill you now
And then I'll eat your quavers
Kill you now
I'll kill you now
I'll kill you now
And then I'll eat your quavers
I'll kill you now
I'll kill you now
I'll kill you now
And then I'll eat your quavers
Kill you now
I'll kill you now
I'll kill you now
And then I'll eat your

WE'RE NOT GONNA MAKE IT
(I'LL KILL YOU NOW)
(I'LL KILL YOU NOW)
(I'LL KILL YOU NOW)
YOUR TIME IS WASTED
(I'LL KILL YOU NOW)
(I'LL KILL YOU NOW)
(I'LL KILL YOU NOW)
WE'RE NOT GONNA MAKE IT
(I'LL KILL YOU NOW)
(I'LL KILL YOU NOW)
(I'LL KILL YOU NOW)
YOUR TIME IS WASTED
