Upset Stomach II: Emo Calypso

by Upset Stomach

supported by

quasiotter stringy, gooey, made in a cave, fun, but also sad. it feels like they were just messing about and happened to make something cool, but no way, this is an impressive album Favorite track: 2 U.

GnarGnarBinski This song is wicked! Favorite track: 2 U.

Beats To The Bar Upset Stomach’s ambition is largely rewarded. You can hear the care and attention to detail in the song structures as much as you can hear the results of a band playing with and testing their limits. Review: beatstothebar.com/upset-stomach-upset-stomach-ii-emo-calypso

Don't put your life in my hands I'll take it all if I can Show me the blueprints (don't show her the blueprints) Show me the spy plane (don't show her the fucking spy plane) Give me the door codes (don't give her the door codes) Give me your everything (don't give her fucking anything) Let me in Tell me everything You won't win Meet my eyes Spill secrets like you're reading lines Spill secrets Glue them in so safe But just one flicker on your face is all it takes What's behind a helping hand? faceless name or tasteless brand I gulp down every tasty lead I'll swallow you and spit out teeth Show me the blueprints (don't show her the blueprints) Show me the spy plane (don't show her the fucking spy plane) Show me the key (No!)

Here comes your manager with a big promotion He’s looking for the staff that show the most devotion Stir your coffee stain, complain when days are over Find yourself reusing jokes From last October Hang yourself on your first day Hang yourself on your first day And if you manage to stomach it Here comes your manager to crumple it And if you manage to stomach it Here comes your manager Here comes your manager I LOVE MY JOB COS EVERY DAY IS DIFFERENT I LOVE MY WIFE COS EVERY NIGHT’S THE SAME I LOVE MY LIFE THERE’S REALLY NO COMPLAINING IF I START AGAIN I’D DO IT ALL THE SAME I LOVE MY JOB COS EVERY DAY IS DIFFERENT I LOVE MY WIFE COS EVERY NIGHT’S THE SAME I LOVE MY LIFE THERE’S REALLY NO COMPLAINING IF I START AGAIN I’D DO IT ALL THE SAME I LOVE MY JOB COS EVERY DAY IS DIFFERENT I LOVE MY WIFE EVERY DAY'S THE SAME EVERY DAY'S THE SAME I LOVE MY JOB COS EVERY DAY IS DIFFERENT I LOVE MY WIFE EVERY DAY'S THE SAME EVERY DAY'S THE SAME

Got your Visa application We’ll take the train We’ll kiss at every station I want to be where you are, From Haggerston to the USSR From Russia With Love From Russia From Russia With Love Send a postcard, get a papercut Cos Helena said Cos Helena said Cos Helena said We could be more than just friends Painfully earnest fits best, I strain to come to terms I miss sunsets sulking in the attic – there’s no other way that I would have i Lower lip pushed out awaiting awful texts from my landlord’s brother How I hate to be a bother, how I hate to be a bother How I hate myself I push pickles around my plate, let’s hit the cabaret I spin around on abandoned dancefloors Two podiums that never meet Snogged in a garden she forgot her keys I wore stalker socks she went seventies Best holiday I’ve ever had Two dykes one kebab Draw round your hands, got the bridal suite Gold double bed still can’t fall asleep Two red socks and a one quid beer Screaming sorry in Cyrillic at every cashier All the girls in St Petersburg More mashed potato than I deserve Mad, well, if the cap fits An apple with a worm in it Cos Helena said Cos Helena said Cos Helena said Cos Helena said Cos Helena said From Russia with Love From Russia From Russia With Love Send a postcard, get a papercut Oh Becky Why am I like this? Obsessively anxious Smoking in car parks the wrong way round Your indecision My Euro vision SNR-eyes every time I look down Cos Helena said Cos Helena said Cos Helena said Cos Helena said Cos Helena said Cos Helena said

You put 22 candles on a cake And burnt them to the ground You brought a goldfish home to love you back Days later it had drowned She’s a femme fatale, it’s not fair at all Grinning from photographs Sometimes your spine betrays the wine You buy just to relax So here’s to you Stuttering your punchlines Keep yourself from feeling numb And all the spinsters of Tinder Well they never make you come More bungling than Baudelaire Using sense you haven’t got You’re fumbling with underwear She’s blankly staring off So here’s to you

An eyesore, an earache, a nosebleed, a hairline fracture An eyesore, an earache, a nosebleed, a hairline fracture An eyesore, an earache, a nosebleed, a hairline fracture An eyesore, an earache, a nosebleed, a hairline fracture Take me to A & E when you get sick of me Rip out your two front teeth CBT dentistry Take me to A & E when you get sick of me Rip out your two front teeth Some people get stuck in your head Others in throats like chicken bones Curling my fingers up like spiders Rip the legs off one by one Said you're no emo You're a liar So here's your emo calypso You're a liar so You're an emo Eyesore, earache, nosebleed, hairline Eyesore, earache, nosebleed, hairline Take me to A & E when you get sick of me Rip out your two front teeth CBT dentistry Take me to A & E when you get sick of me Rip out your two front teeth Some people get stuck in your head Others in throats like chicken bones Curling my fingers up like spiders Rip the legs off one by one It's an emo calypso (You tell me, you tell me)
