lyrics
Real Stuff
Picture this, we went to a party
A spinning room and a shakey floor
We went to do what makes us happy
With closed doors and the curtains drawn
Serpentine, he was acting funny
He threw his tankard against the wall, saying
"I can't abide your squealing honey,
No one's listening anymore"
Tell me what he wore!
On the shakey floor!
Serpentine was summoned slowly
For judgement of his whole life story
When the wind was strong
Been blowing all day long
Said “you won’t see me in a hurry”
The mystic Gods were almost worried
Then the sun was gone
Been sunning all day long
Have you ever seen a face so low to the ground?
He was fine ‘til he started listening to the sound
Of the voices in his head that were bringing him down
Oh, Serpentine turn that frown upside down!
There's always some fat cat making the laws
And executives on high floors, sucking at straws
And investors in their basements looking out for
The next needle in a haystack, I’ve been here before
Settling
Settled in a hole
Settling
Settled under stone
Settling
Settled all alone
Picture this, we went to a party
A spinning room and a shakey floor
We went to do what makes us happy
With closed doors and the curtains drawn
Serpentine, he was acting funny
He threw his tankard against the wall, saying
"I can't abide your squealing honey,
No one's listening anymore"
Tell me what he wore!
On the shakey floor!
Serpentine was summoned slowly
For judgement of his whole life story
When the wind was strong
Been blowing all day long
Said “you won’t see me in a hurry”
The mystic Gods were almost worried
Then the sun was gone
Been sunning all day long
Have you ever seen a face so low to the ground?
He was fine ‘til he started listening to the sound
Of the voices in his head that were bringing him down
Oh, Serpentine turn that frown upside down!
There's always some fat cat making the laws
And executives on high floors, sucking at straws
And investors in their basements looking out for
The next needle in a haystack, I’ve been here before
Settling
Settled in a hole
Settling
Settled under stone
Settling
Settled all alone

about
Keith Brown Norwich
Unrefined DIY indie-pop.
I began accidentally writing and recording songs in
November 2009.
Since then I've released two EPs ('Tattie-Bogle' and 'Real Stuff') and an ablum ('Buried Content') via Insufficient Records and played gigs with a backing band (Matt Osborne on bass and synth and Jim Musgrave on drums).
