about
Some are born bastards, some achieve bastardy and some have the ways of the bastard thrust upon them by circumstance and the unfortunate reality of public office.
lyrics
I truly meant it at the start
Cross my cold and empty heart
I never thought that this would happen to me
I came with virtuous intentions
And offered honest interventions
And I believed it all so innocently
But then the more I learned about
The way the whole thing’s figured out
I found there’s really not a thing I can do
So I got myself indoctrinated
Into what I thought I always hated
Come so far I might as well see it through
And now I’m singing
Ooh ooh ooh
Don’t you know that you’ve never had it so good?
Ooh ooh ooh
Don’t you know that you’ve never had it so good?
It’s this crazy situation
I get the same old accusations
“Hey why don’t you show a little more class
And state your honest point of view?”
But you’ve got to understand that
You don’t need convictions when you’re out on your ass
“Oh have mercy I disclaim!”
I cannot be the one to blame
You know I never mean the words that I say
Cos I’ve been known to praise the Lord
And then put my neighbours to the sword
It’s complicated, hell, what else can I say?
And so I’m singing
Ooh ooh ooh
Don’t you know that you’ve never had it so good?
Ooh ooh ooh
Don’t you know that you’ve never had it so good?
It’s just the sweet manipulation
It’s the myth of cause and correlation
Take a bad idea then move it along
And still we tend to be resistant
To one whose views are inconsistent
More than one who’s just consistently wrong
But if you beat the same old drum
Say something slick but kinda dumb
Well then there’s every chance that you’re gonna win
And yes although I may be faking
You’ve got to understand that
Taking care of business is the business I’m in
That’s why I’m singing
Ooh ooh ooh
Don’t you know that you’ve never had it so good?
Ooh ooh ooh
Don’t you know that you’ve never had it so good?

Discovered She makes war from the Songwriter's suite podcast. Been listening for weeks daily on Spotify at work, so had to buy th cd.
Beautifully sung, catchy and melodic. At the moment, this is looking like my favourite album of 2016 Christopher Rollason
Terry Venemous is releasing new music every 3 weeks this year. His latest EP is sumptuous art pop with a wry sense of detachment.

"...an album that looks as much to this side of The Pond as the UK, She Makes War's debut album is a dark melange of 90s Riot Grrrl meets indie-pop meets disquieting ballads, all the time not missing a beat..."
