about
the first track off of "you lot", a 2020 EP by josh and i. the cover art was photographed by flliot in leicester city. it feels pertinent to unleash it now, now that light is breaking through the clouds!
it is about leicester and everything it lacks - an acknowledgement that the people you walk past most likely have beautiful spirits and the boredom that comes along with comfort is inspiring when you're forced to stare at it.
go listen to the full EP on every streaming service imaginable.
lyrics
The crescent rises,
The crescent where our homes reside is quiet,
it’s a pleasant night.
It’s everything they say it is,
There’s sediment and laziness,
There’s elements i’ve hated,
There’s elephants in spaces here,
The crescent rises,
The crescent where our homes reside is quiet,
it’s a pleasant night.
It’s everything they say it is,
It’s everything they say it is,
The crescent rises,
The crescent where our homes reside is quiet,
it’s a pleasant night.
It’s everything they say it is,
There’s sediment and laziness,
There’s elements i’ve hated,
There’s elephants in spaces here,
Bevvies on the train, i think,
It’s out of hand, we’re out of pocket,
But, we understand how to knock it back,
Some grab the cutlery and ask where the socket’s at,
Some keep responsibilities where the rocket’s strapped,
Some under the radar and over the moon,
I know those in the pub are gonna sober up soon,
I know those off the dark will dispose of the spoon,
I know the ladies getting beaten gonna tell us all at some point,
The sun rises but the funds don’t,
We acknowledge that the breeze gonna blow when our lungs won’t,
And the people that got the bus to work will probably get the bus home.
Bets in the books, go shout at the ref,
Give the women and the children the lifeboats out of respect,
Never “knock door run” on the house on the left,
It’s the rules, after you’ve wound in your neck, play it cool,
Wait for BBC news to put your doubts at a rest,
Still barricade your doors, put some flowers on your desk,
Their tutting sound sounds more dour when we’re stressed.
The crescent rises,
The crescent where our homes reside is quiet,
it’s a pleasant night.
It’s everything they say it is.
It’s everything they say it is.
