about

The opening track of High Time in Lo-Fi, Sunglasses before water was inspired by Ian returning to his flat because he'd forgotten to take a bottle of water with him (it was a ludicrously hot, sunny day), only to leave five minutes later with a pair of sunglasses, having once again forgotten the bottle of water.

lyrics

Sunglasses before water

Backdrop, the space between your words and
Looks like rubbing out cartoon bones in a graveyard
Shift out of the focus, dirty little business
Over your head and the rooftops
Count me in, catch me up on the taking
Turns out or off with its head's always for the
Best keep washing your hands with the rope
Burn baby burns to a dead stop

Everything seems smaller all the bigger you
Crave for the scratching the pleasure of
Itching to off with its head, washing your hands
Boiling in uncomfortable shoes
There's a life more miserable than this
World in a whole wide mess more
Seriously such a dirty little business
Over your head and the rooftops.

Sunglasses before water...

Cheap shot, governed by announcement well-read
Meat thrown down at your blistered feet
First order virtue signalling
Me squared as clear as the mud speaks
Echo back, echo back to the space
Between what you say and you do is how you figure to
Play me from the default, backscratch on the taking turns

Everything seems smaller all the bigger you
Crave for the scratching the pleasure of
Itching to off with its head, washing your hands
Boiling in uncomfortable shoes
There's a life more miserable than this
Word in a whole wide mess more
Seriously such a dirty little business
Over your head and the rooftops

Sunglasses before water…
