    In a few short clicks you could be the proud owner of The Cooks debut EP! 'Our First Child' has been born, weighing in at (coincidentally) the weight of a generic CD plus a thin cardboard slip. With beautiful Cover art by Kathleen Strumila (Anyavna), this is definitely not a release to be missed. And while you're at it, grab one for your Grandma as well, I guarantee she'll dig it.

lyrics

It's been years since I last saw you
I can't help but wonder what you and your cat are up to
I promised that I'd write this song
So I'm keeping my word and I'm staying strong

You'd come to school stoned, and I'd read you stories in the library
And then we'd dance all night
One of the last times we hung out, we were drinking cheap scotch at a house party by the pool
Then you went behind that shed and fucked him

I opened up more to you than I ever have before
And I opened up more to you then I ever will again
I know you've got it all down, in that little black book on your shelf
That book is all I am and all I will ever be to you

And I wanna go back to Europe
I wanna turn up unannounced
I wanna go back to Europe
I wanna put a comic book and album out
Get a job in a record store like the plan was all those moons ago
Write, produce and star in an unsuccessful one man stage show

I opened up more to you than I ever have before
And I opened up more to you then I ever will again
I know you've got it all down, in that little black book on your shelf
That book is all I am and all I will ever be to you

The more you kick and punch me
The quicker the bar in the left hand corner turns from green to red
I've been given your number two or three times, it's still saved in my phone
But if I called you I don't know what I would say

I just hope that you are safe and that you come home soon
I just hope you are safe and that you come home soon
I just hope you are safe and that you are happy
I hope you are safe, you come home soon and that you're happy
