About This Track
'Calpol' by Cavetown is a pop track from the album '16 / 04 / 16', released in 2016. The lyrics are a pep talk for a struggling day, urging the listener to rise, adjust their outlook and “Learn a little self love”, and to treat disappointment as something that will pass. It frames self-worth as a matter of perspective, insisting that nobody gets exactly what they want, and that what feels decisive at the moment will matter less than imagined. The tone is reassuring rather than defiant, with a steady emphasis on learning to hold yourself with more care.

About the Artist
Lyrics
Get up your day is never gonna turn Out exactly how you want Hold yourself, there's no one else And you know when the sun dies None of this will matter half As much as you thought Learn a little self love Cause you're not half as bad as you thought Nobody gets exactly what they want What do you want You are gonna grow old Your head might hurt just a little bit more So take a bit of Calpol Eventually your arms won't feel so sore You're staring at your shoes again It won't be long til these Have holes in them too From dragging your heels when Your knees are too weak To elevate your thoughts
