about
"You're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view." Obi-Wan Kenobi
The first 8 lines of the lyrics are taken from a poem called Resumé by a great American poet Dorothy Parker (1893 - 1967). The rest is, much less inspired writing, by Kejmy.

lyrics
Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren’t lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
You might as well stay
This life is yours to quit
live or leave as you see fit
hate or love every bit
please stay
and try to make the best of it
Stay for the person you'll become
or people who'll take you home
Remember, you're not on your own
No, you're not alone
You are more than a bad week,
more than a bad month, more than a bad year
"You might as well stay"
You might feel too tired, anxious and small, just lost on your way
"You might as well stay"
You might not feel worth it, you might feel past help, with no hope, no life, no chance
"You might as well stay"
But you are your future self looking back
Thankful you've held on
So hold on
You are not alone
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren’t lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
You might as well stay
This life is yours to quit
live or leave as you see fit
hate or love every bit
please stay
and try to make the best of it
Stay for the person you'll become
or people who'll take you home
Remember, you're not on your own
No, you're not alone
You are more than a bad week,
more than a bad month, more than a bad year
"You might as well stay"
You might feel too tired, anxious and small, just lost on your way
"You might as well stay"
You might not feel worth it, you might feel past help, with no hope, no life, no chance
"You might as well stay"
But you are your future self looking back
Thankful you've held on
So hold on
You are not alone

came for "high in the morning," stayed for "useless friends," became obsessed with "stay asleep." this band can do no wrong. "i never thought love would be the losing side" sucks as a lyric when you're trying to be a lyricists, cuz it's just not fair.
go to album -
Jagged post-punk from Sydney captures the sound of the ’70s in its acute angled guitars and detacted vocals.
go to album -
Spetters / RA!D
by Spetters & RA!DA terrific split cassette from two promising young indie bands, this is one part melody, one part fury.
