Free Couch 03:36
I found a free couch on the motorway It was covered in burns and shit and piss stains But hey, it was free I found a free car on some dark old street There was a dead guy sitting in a passenger seat But hey, it was free I'm showing no signs of slowing down So why'd you wanna bring me back to the ground? I'm getting by fine on my own So keep your bad vibes out of my zone I got mine so go get yours, or get the hell out of my home I got mine so go get yours I got a girl, she looks like a model But she makes me feel so small Oh well, she's free I got myself a job that pays alright But I wanna blow my brains out when I get home at night Oh well, it's easy

They threw a party for the wrap, they invited all the staff The clam chowder stole the show, going back for second bowls Then we started feeling weird, only had a couple beers Seeing things that weren't there, yeah we started getting scared James was upstairs freaking out, thinking 'bout insurance forms The ambulance is coming down, lets go and get our stomachs pumped Kate and Leo were just fine Cos they weren't in Nova Scotia at the time Lets ride our wheelchairs down the hall I know they won't believe this back at home

Lonely Hours 02:12
Lonely hours, melt away Thinking of the words to say By now you've lost your crowd They're finding another fool who sings songs Lonely hours, wasting time Thinking of the words that rhyme By now you're lost and found Another toy in a doctors office

Cool To Cry 03:18
Remember the dress up party two thousand fourteen You went as Courtney Love and I was Michael Myers from Halloween You said I made you look a fool, I guess I looked pretty foolish too When I said we both came as killers, I thought it was funny but you didn't get it One day I think I oughta learn how to shut my face How to shut my face, how to shut my face Pretend it's alright, my momma said it's cool to cry Pretend it's alright. you gotta wipe your nose on your sleeve sometimes You said you wouldn't leave but you did x2 If I had my way I'd take a boat out to the sea Tie my feelings to an anchor, drop that sucker 50,000 feet beneath One day I think I oughta learn how to shut my face How to shut my face, how to shut my face

about

Fatter Than The Speed of light was written and recorded in a period of two weeks during the great lockdown of 2020. This was my first foray into home recording and as such, it's all kinda rough and lo-fi. But hey, we all need to start somewhere, right?
