about

A nice way to displace anger and annoyance is to channel those feelings into art. And that's really all I wanna say about this one. Oh, except that shit music and KFC just go together in my head. This almost feels, to me, like it has a bit of a Bedroom Philosopher vibe to it.

Actually it turns out there is a bunch more I want to say about this track, and the full audio liner notes are here: blamesmarty.substack.com/p/not-even-a-cup-of-tea-liner-notes-2bb

lyrics

LYRICS

Your music is very boring
why is the bass so loud
the old man’s no longer snoring
I think he’s about to shout

how much did you pay for that
fucking subwoofer
it had to be more than a month of our rent
if you play any more easy listening shit
there’s gonna be a murder I’ll fully admit
in court

(they won’t convict me
I only wanted to a little more sleep)

but you you really love the top 40
from about 11 years ago
you know there’s over 100 years of recorded music
and most of it’s less dull than everything on
your playlist on Spotify

are you high?
is that why you play so many songs that sound so much alike
that I can no longer identify when one starts and the other follows?
like sheep tend to do and that’s the music you choose

it’s not right, a song this inane
doesn’t deserve this level of volume
and I might be old but it’s not the volume
it’s the boringness that bothers me -
has anyone ever called the police to complain
about a lack of decent tunes?

there are eight year olds in this street
who have better taste in music that you
