about

the first track we tried to write for a string quartet. we learned a lot from this one and it sort of gives the tone of the record.

lyrics

Aloof

1.
They can say just what they’d like
I won’t be made to care – I like
Your face high on a bike
And the window of your hair
People say that you’re no good
I don’t even give a damn
I’d seduce you if I could
If you just knew who the hell I am

CH
I’m aloof
I’m a spoof
I’m a joke to everyone involved
I’m not evolved
I am quaint
I’m a ghost and so I faint
And every time I try to kiss you
I only start to drool
You can say it
You can print it
I’m a fool.

2.
Should I fight some crocodiles
Battle dragons in the air
To make you notice – make you smile
Give a drowning man some air
People say that you are cruel
I don’t even give a zip
Loving you is rocket fuel
I’ll race a thousand worlds with it (I won’t quit)

CH

3.
Do I climb the Anna Purna
Hunt down the Yeti with a fork
To set your eyes a-burning
Make you forget that I’m a – dork.

CH
