lyrics

Things of consequence
Make such perfect sense.
And once again, two and three make five...
Such pressings on your time,
Ambition's not a crime.
Holoparasites are pretty when they thrive.

'Grace can't pay the rent',
She's broken and she's spent.
But underneath she is made from gold.
This sparkling hinterland
Put logic in your hand,
Gave all herself so you could trade her soul.

The good will surely come,
Your swindling undone...
We still get to taste
What you wouldn't pay for.
The power became mine,
The notes fell off the line -
They won't dance while you are
In it for the money.

Insincerity
Made a fool of me.
We fell for that one once too often.
You painted my blues red,
The colours ate your head
To find your heart and make it soften.

The good will surely come,
Your swindling undone.
We still get to taste what you wouldn't pay for.
Your powers become mine,
The notes slid off the line...
They won't dance while you are in it for the money.

Nic Evennett UK

Singer-songwriter from Kent, UK.

"Nic Evennett casually takes flight into the kind of harmonic territory that leaves other songwriters standing."
Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music.

"Evennett’s voice is a delicate mystery, warm and lustrous, yet fragile and crystalline – a bewitching blend of Kate Bush and Linda Perhacs, surrounded by dolorous, reverb-drenched piano..."
Andee Connors, Pandora ... more
