lyrics

i need a light to set myself on fire, baby
i wanna disappear completely in the most dramatic way
i can’t make sense of much just lately
it’s all just trivia
my pixelated qualia has turned the world into a stage

listen to DOOM play on the hydrogen boombox
he splits a rhyme just like atoms
i’m busy ironing my socks
you’re busy fighting your reflection
you feel so overweight
chose the wrong target for your rage
like allen ginsberg dropping bombs

i didn’t even wanna come
i didn’t even wanna come
i didn’t even wanna come
to your party anyway

i asked your name you said you needed time to think
put your head inside the sink
removed the contents of your brain
i got in line to see my doctor
i’m broke beyond repair
i stumbled back you wasn’t there
i need a pill to cure the pain

i didn’t even wanna come
i didn’t even wanna come
i didn’t even wanna come
to your party anyway

how many books to beat myself to death with knowledge
take a look under the bonnet
and realise there’s nothing there
i’ve got the party in my pocket
and nought of relevance to say
do my lines, be on my way
to the next crowd that doesn’t care

about

Brodie Milner Hull, UK

“Absolutely loving this” - Gemma Bradley (BBC R1)

“lyricist of the week… outstanding” - Tom Robinson (BBC R6)

Brodie Milner wears his songs like an ill fitted suit. Combining intelligent lyricism with intricate melodies, his music feels nuanced, evocative, and a bit too sad for a summer's party. Listeners can expect to hear influences from the likes of Ben Howard, Big Thief, Fontaines D.C, etc
