lyrics

Is this all I will ever be? A life reduced to songs in bad movies that fade to black after every scene. I hope somebody kills me in my sleep. But I wake from a mundane dream replaced by my life seamlessly. I've read about this kind of thing in some trashy low-priced magazine and I don't think I will ever sleep again. Like a lemming I should go and make friends with people I don't know, get a job pushing buttons for the government and maybe I'd want more. I've seen my films in the bargain bin - one ninety nine or three for five - oh no! This is what my parents said when I told them I'd be leaving home... "we don't think you will ever sleep again." Is this all I will ever be? A life reduced to songs in bad movies that fade to black after every scene. I hope somebody kills me in my sleep.

Captain Polaroid Birmingham

My fuzzy, shambolic lo-fi pop is thrown carelessly out of a bedroom window in Birmingham, UK.
