I found this song on bleep the other day, not yet released (damn! well, I suppose I can wait), and embargoed in the US (double damn! what now?!!). Nothing on iTMS yet, and even though I hate to buy such poor quality downloads I wanted the songs bad enough to at least force myself to make that decision. I was even poking around torrentspy trying to find an illegal download, but no love there either.

I hate flash websites—there’s no easy way to link directly to the good stuff buried within—but I was able to find a link to the lyrics in their forum. Now, that helps more than I care to admit, as I simply cannot understand English accents. Honestly, it might as well be Dutch, it just goes in one ear and out the other. That’s hardly the only thing these days.

Of course, MySpace has the two new songs for streaming, and a link to their video on YouTube, which is all I really wanted to share. Not sure why I made you sit through all of the other nonsense…

First the lyrics…

good shoes - All in my head

Im a talented artist but my hearts not in it
Im a good shag but I find nobody fit
I play in a band but I’ve got no talent
I spit and I drawl but I just don’t change a thing

Its all in my head all my hopes and my fears
And I lay it all out all for you all to see and its
All in my head

I work 9-5 but I want to get out
I watch the tv but I want to be an inspiration
I write it all down but nobody reads
You never will and its so obscene

And now the video…

I’m hooked. Great sound. Great fun.Great lyrics too, if a bit too close to home. No need to dissect this one. And at 2:31, it’s perfectly short and sweet. You know I have a soft spot for that kinda stuff.
