about

one day when we were practicing someone complained about the noise, and being the arty wanker he is Dan thought it was an interesting metaphor for the conflict between society and the individual and turned it into a song about being a lazy but creative piece of shit. Sam wrote the music for this one and we like playing it alot

lyrics

They called the cops
at four in the afternoon
They wore leather jackets
To make them look intimidating
The noise complaint
it pissed us off a bit
I guess a 50 watt amp doesn't belong in Jesmond

you are answers and i'm just questions
you know everything and i'm just guessing

It's okay to watch the TV and sleep all day
It's okay to be going nowhere, but out of your mind
and some days, all you'll do is sleep
But that's fine

I feel so out of place in university
Because i'm so unorganised and lacking the motivation
to do anything but play a six string
I guess I'll never amount to anything

But you are answers and i'm just questions
you know everything and i'm just guessing

it's okay to watch the TV and sleep all day
It's okay to be going nowhere but out of your mind
and some days all you'll do is sleep
but that's fine
