about

A natural vocal sings a barbed ode to landlords and the frustrations of renting over an electro punk beat. Distorted garage rock and post punk riffs intertwine with chorus laden guitars with a distinct 80s indie undercurrent.

Wasting Time is accompanied by an animated video documenting the real stories of renters, such as rats in toilets, broken windows, and perpetually re-locating, illustrating the insecurity and dehumanising aspect of being part of generation rent.

lyrics

It's all a stall to see how much you can get
Collecting houses like others collect stamps
I know I don't mean anything to you
But I'm just trying to appeal to your human side
To your human side

You never fix anything unless it's
Against the law to leave it that way
You pretend to care until we sign the paper
That says there's no going back

You're wasting my time
Just another eight digits in the back of your mind
You're wasting my time
How long til we can be on our way
How long til we can be on our way

Please don't believe I was ever that naive
I just had expectations the low standards I have become
Used to never included a lie to my face

You're wasting my time
Just another eight digits in the back of your mind
You're wasting my time
How long til we can be on our way
How long til we can be on our way
