about

These are the tracks on our new 7 inch. It's a split with Sweet Mystic, out on a great UK label Speedowax, the owner Rich has been slinging 7 inches for the past 22 years. I believe he started in 1997 when he was 17 and hasn't stopped for a second since.

DOLLY lyrics

Verse 1

Hi my name’s Augustus,
I suffer from insomnia,
Every night a poltergeist visits me
Read the warning on the box,
Rotting hair + lollipops
Covered in valerian tea

Chorus 1

How do I sleep?
When he comes to me?
How do I sleep when he comes to me,
Please.

Verse 2

Eat the wilting flowers,
They’re rotting by the hour,
Covered in honey + cheese.
Took a bath with lavender,
Melatonin scavenger,
Hypnotized by Jody.

Chorus 2

How do I sleep?
When he comes to me?
How do I sleep?
When he comes to me?
How do I sleep when he comes to me,
Please.


Verse 3

Stumbling like a cyclops,
Goldilocks + chicken pox,
Lucidity is not my thing.
Goldilocks has lost her weave,
Feed it all to Dolly.
