This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You can go and eat your Chinese food over
Drunken fools singing 80's tunes
They'll be singing out of tune saying
Get the foreigners out of my area
A skinhead in a Burberry coat
This is not the sort of place you want to take your kids to
Fifty pound shops
And nothing left to inspire me in
Morden
Staring at the government not noticing the queen
A Superdrug and a KFC
Is this everything you need for a cultured city?
Or is this everything you need to promote burglary
You don't get this in the country side
A skinhead coming at you with a knife
Oh but you do
There must be something wrong with our society or is it
Morden
I read the news today
A youth killed himself in a horrible way
He hung himself
From the local supermarket car park
Walking down canon hill lane
I saw the flowers lay where a car crash took place
A drug dealer crashed into a chicane
It sort of sums up where we live in
Morden

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Gentle Hour

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Agree with Changles, Good Shoes are not trying to be Arctic Monkeys at all. Have you heard AM new album!! Morden is such a great song and correct me if im wrong but he says 'super drunk in a kfc' makes much more sense to me. Fast food joints seem to attract the drunk around my city anyway :). Rhys is very cynicle in this song, looking upon his home town in a very unromantic way. It is genious the way this song has jammed so much that is typical of towns into one relatively short song, taking the first verse for example!!! Amazing
i thought it was maybe a Superdrug and a KFC... but could be wring :) all in all... great wee song! x
