pockets (mixtape version)

[Spoken Intro]

This record is intended to help you check your playing equipment

Without the use of measurement instruments

And remembering that the ultimate aim

Is to produce sound which is completely acceptable to the listener

[Verse 1]

I'm tired of fake fortunes being sold

I'm tired of my tyres burning rubber on the road

Tired of the distance, the lengths that I go to

Trying to get a bit of credit from you

Fuck that

Real love feels real

So I don't need to try to synthesise

The feel

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm trying to unlock doors with these musical keys

My friends puff trees, turn a Z to a G

Oh no

And all I do is twinkle the ivory keys

Indulgently, 'cause I do this for me

I know

[Chorus]

And it just feels a little bit like

Somebody cut a hole in my pockets

'Cause I've been trying to do this right

With no profits and the loss I can't stop it

[Verse 2]

And consumption lies at the heart of my bad habits

I live in a world where I want but can't have it

Tell me why that is the way it is

I need some real love, to feel real

But people all around me still try to leave the ties that feel

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm trying to unlock doors with these musical keys

Eventually I smoke a Z to a G

Oh no

And all I do is twinkle the ivory keys

It's no wonder why I make no Ps

I know

[Chorus]

But it just feels a little bit like

Somebody cut a hole in my pockets

'Cause I've been trying to do this right

With no profits and the loss I can't stop it

[Interlude]

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la

[Chorus]

It just feels a little bit like

Somebody cut a hole in my pockets

'Cause I've been trying to do this right

With no profits and the loss I can't stop it

And it just feels a little bit like

Somebody cut a hole in my pockets

'Cause I've been trying to do this right

With no profits and the loss I can't stop it
