Day seven of week sixteen, you hear a young man crying, faithless hearts and Godless teens never tire of trying. She advertised her beaming face in front of many suitors, sinister lighting, loud soundtrack, replace the clientele's computers. I'm gonna fill a post-it note of tiny words, describing how your hair curls around your ears. I'm gonna touch your soft face with my blistered hands, and picture how your hair smells when I kiss you. It's been sixteen hours and two minutes since I last heard from her fingers. That aching sense of lust burns through, I'd forgotten how it lingers. When she closed her eyes that night and breathed a steady rhythm I thought that I would find myself but I've lost so much of me in them. I'm gonna press your head against by bleeding heart and stain your hair with all my sins and lies. I'm gonna sketch your heartbeat in an old diary to stop myself from staring at your thighs. I'm in love of sorts, I'm in love of sorts. I'm in love of sorts, I'm in love... I'm gonna fill a post-it note of tiny words, describing how your hair curls around your ears. I'm gonna touch your soft face with my blistered hands, and picture how your hair smells when I kiss you. I'm gonna press your head against by bleeding heart and stain your hair with all my sins and lies. I'm gonna sketch your heartbeat in an old diary to stop myself from staring at your thighs, at your thighs.

I wonder what it's like to be the fifth Beatle, I wonder what it's like to be on the titles of Match of the Day, I wonder what it's like to be Harris trying to break your legs, and I wonder what it's like to fail every time. But I don't care about that second liver. But I don't care, you'll always be my hero. But I don't care about that second liver. Hey twinkletoes, where did that liver go? Oh where did that liver go? I saw you on the telly, looking frail and underweight, but I didn't see an old man, I saw twinkletoes! Dribbling and making fools of Gordon Banks and Bobby Moore, after a heavy night's drinking! But I don't care about that second liver. But I don't care, you made someone a happy donor. But I don't care about that second liver. Hey twinkletoes, where did that liver go? I saw the way you were, I saw what you became, but for the things you've done you shouldn't feel ashamed, because no amount of soberness could make the magic in your legs, so I salute your flawed genius. But I don't care about that second liver. But I don't care, you made someone a happy donor. But I don't care about that second liver. Hey twinkletoes, where did that liver go?

24, nice hair, smells of cigarettes, I'm not sure if she wants to be my girl. Occasionally she'll kiss me, like she really means it, and it feels like I've never been lonely before. But I don't care about the cigarettes, I don't care about the attitude, the piercing in her tongue I can get used to. I can live with the alcohol, the draft beside the fire door, as long as she'll still kiss me on this dance floor. I'll ask her back to my place every now and then, with only moderate expectations. She don't look good in photos, or none that I've seen, but she's so pretty when we're face to face. But I don't care about the cigarettes, I don't care about the attitude, the piercing in her tongue I can get used to. I can live with the alcohol, the draft beside the fire door, as long as she'll still kiss me on this dance floor. I don't care about the cigarettes, I don't care about the attitude, the piercing in her tongue I can get used to. I can live with the alcohol, the draft beside the fire door, as long as she'll still kiss me on this dance floor. I can live, oh I can live, just as long as she's still kissing me once I'm too drunk to think. I can live, oh I can live, if she amuses me as much as she confuses me by 2 a.m. tomorrow.

about

We spat out this EP hot off the back of our first proper batch of self-recording sessions for our album, way back in the sunny summer of 2010, burned it to an optimistic number of CD-Rs and cobbled together some artwork from a live photo from days earlier. Leg cramps, carpet burns, paper cuts, and a baby DIY EP cradled in our loving hands. It was rough and sketchy, but it was our lovely little mess.

about

Prodding Juliet England, UK

Prodding Juliet were a three-piece indie band from Durham, UK, that made a fair bit of noise between 2008 and 2010. In the years since then we managed to finish creating our debut/swansong album at a snail's pace and can finally rest in peace.
