lyrics

What does it take to be star?
It doesn't quite matter who you are, you gotta have that remark to ya

All this anxiety, hasn't even begun and I'm freaking
about where it all goes, nobody knows

If we're all gonna die, in a living world
Then what sense does passion mean to a boy or girl?
Business at it's extreme, capitalism's greedy.
I guess my motto should be, maybe I'll be rich when I'm dead
That's all we're here for, Ed.

Oh and that feeling creeps up in the night.
What am I gonna do with my life?
They say it's great, they say it's fame, but what do I say?

Have I become another breathing brand?
Take another bus ride to understand, I'm trying from whatever I've got, just to love.

If we're all gonna die, in a living world
Then what sense does passion mean to a boy or girl?
Business at it's extreme, capitalism's greedy.
Well I guess x 4

Oh how these flickering lights, flicker into my life..
Into my, into my, into my, life.

If we're all gonna die, in a living world
Then what sense, x3

If we're all gonna die, in a living world,
Then what sense does passion mean to a boy or girl?
Business at it's extreme, capitalism's greedy.
Well I guess x 3
I'll be rich when I'm dead.

This one took a few listens. The first time, it went in all at once, like a corkscrew punched through the soft slab of abdomen, there on my side. I hardly noticed. Then it started to jiggle and wriggle around in there, and slowly — twist by twist, track by track — I came to realize what a bloody, brilliant mess I had on my hands. veryvery

Nice material from this Austrailian singer-songwriter that reminds me of early Angel Olsen. Julia has been signed by Polyvinyl who will release her 2016 LP in the USA. Art Fin
