about

THE SUBLETTERS PART TWO (Featuring The Shifters) continues the narrative of PART ONE (as yet unheard). It was devised between continents using computers by the band (who wrote the lyrics and embellished the music) and Miles (who wrote the backbones of the music), which is really pretty clever. And then it’s done. But the good thing about these records is you can play them again if you want.

lyrics

So the Subletters decided to go out to the fairground that was just down the road 
They wanted to complain about the goldfish...even though there weren’t any
But me I decided to stay at home
I did some laundry 
Then I tried to work out how to avoid repaying my student loan
 But unfortunately they clocked that line
And they said “you’re booked mate”
I said “That’s a fair cop” 
But luckily they had all my details wrong
They thought I was an orthodontist from London
When actually I’m an accordionist from Melbourne
And they thought my National Insurance number was AB34217
Which it isn’t
God save the delicious hell of post-fordist bureaucracy
Anyway, the neighbour who wears his christmas jumper all year round was visible through the window Apart from this I could see a tree, a discarded chopstick and a wonky Crow
And I could hear someone playing “Like a Virgin” very quietly through their stereo
It was a hot Sunday afternoon
And the neighbour was trying to explain to the crow why Jeff Bezsos should pay more tax
But the crow didn’t understand
Because the crow was just a crow
And after this I just sat in my chair and spaced out for about three hours
Until the subletters came home with their placards
Disheartened that they couldn’t save any non-existent goldfish
And then I phone home, my parents’ home, but no one was home
And this is a pretty accurate fictional account
Of this week’s Sunday afternoon
