lyrics

I’m not your dad, it’s time to go
I was the stone that came through the door
I’ve got the gloves, I’ve got the gloves for this
They couldn’t stop the tears though
You’d pick me up after a show
So why am I walking home?
The fearless sky come to end
Some of us seen it as well

It’s such a crock
I cannot accept
Only connect
Between the cold new beds

In your wealth there’s always someone else
This the first attempt to save yourself?
In your head you don’t know what comes next
New berber rugs, ‘cos what the hell?!

Why am I always smelling fat?
I’ve never heard of Christmas ham
The weekends two at a time
And nobody likes it like that
Don’t make me sing on New Year’s Eve
There’s people there I don’t believe
I guess I could never compare
And that is just my best

In your wealth there’s always someone else
This the first attempt to save yourself?
In your head, you don’t know what comes next
New speaker subs, but your Graceland sucks
Is this the test I see for no one else?
Don’t mark the gin, I’m only twelve!

I'm a sucker for 'indie' Christmas music and this quickly became one of my favourite albums of its kind. Every song's either genuinely jubilant, heartwarming, or both. Flint

A concept album that hangs together as a collection of songs with or without the concept, shot through with all the things I absolutely love about Field music. Tunes, grooves, and lyrics that make me go YES!!! at least once every 90 seconds :) Everything about Field Music is amazing ♥️ Steve Lawson
