lyrics

I sit alone in the tiny seat on the bus
I don’t belong in them or us
I’ve gone too far before I’ve started
Got a boy on my arm, though, so crisis averted
Got short hair but not short enough
If I bleach it brighter colours it gets hard to take care of
Cut my nails short but that don’t matter ‘cause I’m taken
Guess I’m waiting for that side of me to really awaken

It goes both ways
It goes both ways
It goes both ways
It goes both ways

I’ve been too scared to be out in the open
I come in with my partner on my shoulder
And you won’t find me sitting on the fence
But I’m stuck in the middle, it doesn’t make a difference
I’ve been too scared to be out in the open
I come in with my partner on my shoulder
And you won’t find me sitting on the fence
But I’m stuck in the middle, it doesn’t make a difference

I’ve never had to talk to my mom or dad
Because the only long-term partner I’ve ever had
Is an exception to my general attraction
But that doesn’t call for remedial action
When I tick the box at my new place of work
Scribble in the one that says ‘prefer not to answer’
And that feels like a lie but it’s actually true
I don’t want to have to explain myself to you

Well, it took about 10 seconds of listening to one track before I started thinking... "Is this really a London band? But they have the Santa Cruz sound!" Yes indeed, it's official: this is another fine example of that Santa Cruz sound we all love. Go, Slugs! Rodent
