Talking To Myself 03:18
lyrics

Got my future on an eight track telling me to get back all that I gave away You said it’s easy the way you try to read me they’re sharp all the things that you say You gotta praise me you should know You gotta raise me as your own I wanna buy you a new heart while you cut your teeth at the bar I know you’re mean Heavy like the sea Tell me what you want before you take it all away Help me understand why I wait for your words while I pray Turn off the taps there’s two black Cadillacs waiting out back for me Kicking up the dust I don’t know why I trust the knives that you hide in your sleeves I know that you’re me Heavy like the sea Old songs on the radio telling me it won’t go back where it was before I know that you’re me Cold, and heavy like the sea All of a sudden wanna be someone else just for the day Heard what you told, bought what you sold Hope it ain’t true what you say Beg for night, howl I’m tired guess I’m blind to see Help me now gotta figure out why you want another piece of me

You could have been quite something Nothing that they’d ever seen Breaking hearts like bones in the summer And breaking hearts through the tv screens But I think I know you Seen your type before You wanna kiss the neck of the ghost that you wear and hit the floor And i know how you’ve been feeling You spelt it out in the snow With the tip of a lit cigarette you said its time to leave you’ve got no place to go You keep me hanging on Oh on the telephone I feel you’re getting cold Oh well I’m here for a little joy control You could have stolen all the world Right out from under their throats Why’d you turn you’re back on it all and hit the road You don’t want to stop me from feeling Just want to make me cry Oh it really works for you baby, I don’t know if it’s been like that a while You keep me hanging on Oh on the telephone I can’t take much more Oh well I’m here for Oh well I’m here for Oh well I’m here for joy control You keep me hanging on Oh on the telephone I can’t take much more Oh well I’m here for a little joy control

I wanna show you God Sleeping on your floor I wanna show you things You ain’t seen before I don’t wanna stay But i ain’t ready to go I wanna tell you things You already know Oh I wanna be yours I wanna be adored I wanna show you God In the palm of your hands Would you say it differently If I was a different man The sun it falls Upon your head I wanna take you inside darling I wanna take you to bed Oh I wanna be yours I wanna be adored I want to drink all your honey, when I feel this way I feel like the last man on Earth when it rains I wanna show you God Right behind your eyes I want you to love me Don’t look so surprised I want you, I want you, I want you (Don’t you want me too?) I wanna show you, I wanna show you, I wanna show you (Just what I could do) I could be yours, I could be yours, I could be yours (I could be your man) I could be yours, I could be yours, I could be yours Oh I wanna be yours I wanna be adored I want to drink all your honey, when I feel this way I feel like the last man on Earth when it rains

How To Buy Happiness 03:53
lyrics

Buy a bit of good time and go to Mexico Chewing on a whole lime you’ve got a ways to go Break a bag of hours over your head And make fun of the cowards who go to bed, who go to bed Put fistfuls of money in your mouth And lick the hotel walls in the Vegas drought Wring the water from your lips Watch the blackout lean in for a kiss If I had the money Oh yeah I’d be fine Listen to me honey I’d pay anything to feel alright Give me your all your money honey and I’ll be fine Kind of in a hurry lately to be on time And I have been up all night He ironed out his old shirt And weight you with his left Washed his face with gold dirt And said he hadn’t slept He said If I had the money Oh yeah I’d be fine Listen to me honey I’d pay anything to feel alright Give me all your money honey and I’ll be fine Kind of in a hurry lately to be on time And I have been up all night Chewing on a whole lime You’ve got a ways to go So put fistfuls of money in your mouth And lick the hotel walls in the Vegas drought If I had the money Oh yeah I’d be fine Listen to me honey I’d pay anything to feel alright Give me your all your money honey and I’ll be fine Kind of in a hurry lately to be on time And I have been up all night

If you disappear, darling take me too There’s nothing like a shot of fear To make me fall head over heels for you All you wanted darling was a sunset man And all I wanted to be, was someone that I could stand, even for a minute Where the mirrors weren’t so hard to see And the look in your eyes wasn’t because you’re looking at me I wanna make you proud, why’s it so loud I want you to love me, like you see in the movies, like you've seen on tv Yeah I wanna be lonely, but only for a second That’d mean I had something, something waiting I reckon So old Jim speak to me, over gramophone remedies, I’m the apothecary’s son Like the stars ain’t falling, like I’m not falling for everyone Yeah I want you to love me, like you see in the movies, like you've seen on tv Yeah I wanna feel lonely, only for a second That’d mean I had someone, someone waiting I reckon So old Jim speak to me, over gramophone remedies, I’m the apothecary’s son Like the stars ain’t falling, like I’m not falling for everyone Yeah I want you to love me, like you see in the movies, like you've seen on tv Yeah I want you to want me

about

Modern Guilt announce the release of their second EP, ‘We’ll Always Have Vegas’, a conceptual snapshot released digitally on Friday 8th March 2024.

Championed by tastemakers including Steve Lamacq (BBC 6Music), John Kennedy (Radio X) and Jess Iszatt (BBC Radio 1 / Introducing), the London based outfit are “knocking it out the park. Their sound already has a level of maturity that makes it both distinctive and confident in it’s ambition” (Chalkpit Records).

‘We’ll Always Have Vegas’ is a series of snapshot moments across a binge, tales from the feast, and how we remember our lives and the people we encounter. It’s the end of the night, a fixation with happiness through the lens and stories of an individual in Las Vegas. A pilgrimage to false joy, in search of feeling.

Frontman Jaz states “the new EP is about the fruitless, delusional and intoxicating arc of reaching into the pit of ourselves and having a good rummage around, chasing complete pleasure and the internal narratives, stories and monologues that accompany each stage of the rise and fall, from looking for the cure to emptiness and loneliness into the circus of nights in and nights out and back to the beginning again.”

Produced by Mikey Buckley, the tracks reflect the narrative and environment. ‘Talking To Myself’ and ‘Joy Control’ are jagged and direct, while the band’s sound expands further on ‘I Want To Show You God’ and ‘How To Buy Happiness’, introducing space and warmer tones through acoustics and percussion. EP closer ‘Gramophone Remedy’ pulls the listener back, it’s an orchestral heartbeat filled with fragility and melancholy.

The EP will also be accompanied by a brand new video for recent single ‘Talking To Myself’ directed by acclaimed film maker Ross Scott.

Modern Guilt will celebrate the release with an EP launch show at Sebright Arms, London on Wednesday 6th March.
