about

Sometimes you go to the party to buy study pills and end up in bed with your ex-girlfriend again...

Uncharted Thames is a song about bad habits and the highs and lows of 2k16.

lyrics

YEEEHAAA
I wonder through these chartered streets
No, I can’t hear these chartered Thames flow
Well not today, maybe sometime tomorrow
When we awake she asks me how I am I say “I’m fine”
She does the line, she says she feels sick, even though I know she doesn’t

And I can’t find home, is it in my upper chest
Or in this cigarette, or underneath your long black dress, I’m a mess....
Oh I digress, we are so beautiful, but we are so doomed.
I am so beautiful, and I am so fucking doomed. We are so fucking doomed.

So I might waste my youth as I waste my Youth Allowance
on dopamine that I don’t need, but dopamine that I can’t live without
I hold your hand under the table of every Wagner gig (Why? I loved him...)
Because tonight I need something, tonight I need anything
Tonight I’d take anything

And if I turn this car around, and drove back to Winnipeg
would you ride shotgun with me
‘Cos I’ve been making things that I can’t explain, a mess of this again
Maybe it’s just the amide breaking down, that makes two of us...

Everyday on the drive to school I see the lifeless Holden Statesman on Blackburn Road
and I love how some things never change
but at the same time all I long for is a change
I need to walk the streets of London with you
I need to see you again, for you are infinity

Everyday I think about those six months in which I was in love with you
and how I never told a single soul
Take me back to the first war
Pick me up from your bedroom floor
Please don’t sleep in my bed, please don’t sleep with him in my bed,
