The Suburbs

from Valproate In Retrograde by Skellums

about

Its easier to be a big fat fish in a puddle than an amoeba in the pacific.

lyrics

Amongst the semi-detacheds,
and the second hand cars,
where the security lights
flash in time to the dogs barks.
Where the prowlers, they wont bother you no more.
They just keep their heads down
and keep their hoods up.

You heard bright city lights calling you.
You never do what needed to be done.

You will run, run, run, run, run,
into the arms of the suburbs.

So I find some peace.
In my two up, two down.
Worlds apart from racing rats
and weathered frowns.
Where this quest for fame,
it don't trouble me no more.
No longer keep my teeth bared.
No longer grind them down.

You heard bright city lights calling you.
You never do what you needed to get done.

You will run, run, run, run, run,
into the arms of the suburbs.

Skellums Wales, UK

Skellums was formed because there was nothing else left to do.

Underneath all the dirty guitars and drums, there lives a pop song. Skellums believe, that as long as you have a melody, you can get away with all sorts.

Roberts.
Crichton.
Courtney.
Seery.
