CHORUS Hey, get up! Hey, get down! Hey, shut up! Hey, get out!

VERSE 1 You think it’s funny, I think too much You keep laughing, I’ll fall in love You never see me, I’m such a fool But if you ask me to, I will break the rules and now Ha ha VERSE 2 If there’s no reason for every day To start and finish in the same way I guess I’d rather be somewhere else So you see you like all by yourself and now Should I even say CHORUS You’ve got bad taste in people That's why I’ll be the one you call, at night You’ve got bad taste in people That’s why you’re so loveable, yeah right VERSE 3 I just can't help it, you draw me in How are you getting under my skin Thought I was smarter than this But still back on bullshit with just one kiss Should I even say [CHORUS] BRIDGE You think you got me wrapped up Around your little finger But I could blow this up My feelings never linger You think you got me wrapped up Around your little finger But I could blow this up Just need the pressure [CHORUS]

CHORUS Why do you look so, why do you look so scared when I’m backing down, backing down why do you look so scared When I’m not around, not around Scared, of what? I’ve never been enough Can I be the one that you forgot Scared, of what? I’ve never been enough Can’t I just be the one that you forgot VERSE 1 Awake at night, no appetite Turn off the lights, am I alright? Questioning my head, for an empty bed Picking at loose threads, from what we said You’re a mirror PRE CHORUS Every time I look I’m getting clearer Not much longer till I disappear Everybody’s asking me [CHORUS] VERSE 2 Hope this never happens I’m no good with patterns Tell me that you haven’t Lost your balance, you’re a mirror [PRE CHORUS] [CHORUS]

about

Australian queer bubblegum punk duo Cry Club enter their “villain era" with their electric sophomore album Spite Will Save Me, out July 2023. The tight 10 tracks further refine their talent for turning frustrations and anger at social issues into anthemic thrash-alongs — and proving they’re one of Australia’s most vital, exciting bands.

Writing Spite Will Save Me across Melbourne’s two years of on-and-off-again lockdowns, the two used the chance to escape their surroundings. Working with producer and Kingswood member Alexander Laksa (Flowerkid, Dallas Woods), the duo were able to geek out about their influences like Nine Inch Nails, Queens of The Stone Age and Gilla Band, and working out how to convert noise and post-punk into pop.

An explosive live act, Cry Club are eager to play Spite Will Save Me to fans, creating environments where fans can thrash through their feelings and embrace their inner emo. Join the club.
