We recorded this one with 'Chinese Lovers' and 'Yes, Priestess' and whilst the others went on as bonus tracks on 'If You Only Knew...', this was left simply on CD/bandcamp.
It sounds much more 'metal' than it did live, which might have been the reason we left it back.
This one is about my eternal pessimism, something George didn't share.
lyrics
I can't wait for too long to get to where I belong. I can't wait for too long to get where I'm free. I wanna break my way through with you. I wanna smash the harmony.
We try to get through and change this, but for ten years I could go away and nothing here would even change.
I could give it all but I know where I'd get with my luck. I could give it all but no one would be listening. I'd like to change society but they'd come around and take away my TV. I'd like to change society but society's changing me.
We try to get through and change this, but for ten years I could go away and nothing here would even change.
Bouncy, urgent, raucous indie rock, anthemic yet unpredictable; this Oxford, U.K. trio sounds defiantly full of life. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 28, 2020
Recorded 8 years ago at the beloved Brooklyn venue Shea Stadium, this live album captures Plates of Cake in all their raw rock glory. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 15, 2021
