About This Track

'New Red Pants' by Slothrust is a Rock track from the album 'The Pact' (2018). The lyrics pitch a bruised, comic-urgent first-person scramble around a new item of clothing, with the narrator stressing their attractiveness in a way that turns threatening, then pivoting into a catalogue of ailments and requests for help, including the need for pain relief and attempts to deal with fever. The song also veers into sports metaphor, with the voice framing the situation as something to “swing” at, even as symptoms and discomfort crowd in.

"New Red Pants" is a track by Slothrust, from the album The Pact, released 13th September 2018. The track is 2:56 long. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

New Red Pants

I've got new red pants
Got them from a stranger, yeah
I look so attractive that it could kill you
It could kill me too

I've got scoliosis
I need tylenol
Help me break this fever
Throw me a curveball
I'll swing at that curveball yeah

I've got bad tinnitus
Drives me up the wall
Leave me underwater
I don't want to hear it
I don't want to hear at all
I'm not into romance
I am into blood
Won't you bring them a cup, dear
They're gonna like mine just like Joan of Arc

I've got tendonitis
God, I need my hands
Won't you grant me this one
I'll make a trade with you
You can have my red pants
