Lyrics

On Script

On script every night Like a well-rehearsed stage show Wet your lips, it won't take long To break this old behavior Wings clipped, no need to fly What, do you think that you're special? No reflex, it's just a bend of the elbow I know it's getting old Nondescript, every night Like a well-versed get well card Barely dressed, and I just might Take you up on your offer, yeah

Gorillaz, The Strokes and FKA twigs lead Primavera Sound’s return to Buenos Aires and São Paulo

Lily Allen, CMAT and Courtney Barnett also feature on both bills.

Courtney Barnett has announced a UK and European tour following ‘Creature of Habit’

Twelve dates are confirmed including Barrowland Ballroom and O2 Forum Kentish Town.

Courtney Barnett lets instinct lead the way on ‘Creature of Habit’

Written in the wake of relocation and reflection, Courtney Barnett’s new album finds her trusting the subconscious - and a well-timed mantis.

Courtney Barnett - Creature of Habit

It’s still recognisably Barnett - observational, dryly funny, emotionally candid - but presented through a process that feels newly energising.
