lyrics

Are you broke
Kickin the smokes
Lots your job a while ago
Hurryin up to wait in line
Wait wait wait
Then they send you to the website

Your lover’s mad
You’re so depressed
Can’t get outta bed
Ya look a mess
Bills and dishes are all stacked up

It’s been a day
To take the cake
Ya crashed your car
Broke your leg
Applied for a crappy job
But guess what
Yeah... Nah
Ache in the head
Can’t afford to eat
The busses and trains took everything
The commute is long but so’s the dole line

So you’re goin hard
And ya feel like
Sixes and nines
Wearing you down
At least we still
Got each other
And we should stand
Together
When we’re sixes and nines

Overwhelmed
And underpaid
Self worth strippin away
Hardly recognise
Your own face

So soldier on
Tighten the belt
Ya lost your temper
Ya lost yourself
You’re only human

So you’re goin hard
And it feel like
Sixes and nines
Yeah... Like that
At least we still
Got each other
And we can stand
If it’s true that misery
Loves our company
We should all
Sit on down for tea
Shouldn't we
At least we still
Got a cuppa
And we should laugh
Together

Close my eyes
Try to sleep
Itchin and twistin
Searchin for peace
Then I remember what you said
Way back when

Whatever the reason
I’m still breathin
Above ground gettin round
So quit your overthinkin
And be with me
Just look at the stars

So you’re goin hard
And it feel like
Sixes and nines
Inside out
At least we still
Got each other
And we can stand
If it’s true that misery
Loves our company well
We should all
Sit on down for tea
At least we still
Got a cuppa
So put on the kettle
And we should laugh
Together

about

Liz Aday Music NSW, Australia

Dual citizen USA/AUS. I've been in solitude as an artist for years. I never stopped writing, but I did lose my voice to Vocal Cord Palsy in 2017. They said I mightn't speak again. But as we say in Australia.. Yeah-nah! My main instrument apart from my voice is guitar but I love samples, synths & looping. Heavily influenced by old timey jazz (Billie&Ella)/90s trip hop/Prince & too much to list. xox ... more
