The 1975

The 1975 are an English pop rock band originating from Manchester. The band consists of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Matthew "Matty" Healy, lead guitarist Adam Hann, bassist Ross MacDonald, and drummer George Daniel.The band's origins trace to them attending Wilmslow High School in Cheshire and playing together as teenagers in 2002. Gigs organised by a council worker led the band to formally sign as the 1975. Their choice of name was inspired by a Jack Kerouac beat poetry book. They eventually signed a record deal after their success with Dirty Hit and Polydor Records. Following the release of four EPs, their self-titled debut album was released on 2 September 2013, topping the UK Albums Chart on 8 September 2013. Their second album I Like It When You S… more »

Hello, there's a place that I've been going
There's a place I've been going
Now I'm clean it would seem
Let's go somewhere I'll be seen
As sad as it seems
I seen Greg and he was like
"Seen friends at the birthday party
They were kinda fucked up before it even started
They were gonna go to the Pinegrove show
They didn't know about all the weird stuff
So they just left it" (so they just left it)
I was wasted (I was wasted)
And cold, minding my business
 
And I seen the girls and they were all like
"Do you wanna come and get fucked up?"
Listen, I got myself a missus, says there can't be any kissing
"No, don't be a fridge, you better wise up, kid
It's all Adderall now, it doesn't make you wanna do it"
 
"This ain't going well", I thought I was stuck in Hell
In a boring conversation with a girl called Mel
'Bout her friend in Cincinnati called Matty as well
Pulled away when I went in for the kiss
No, it wasn't a diss
You put the tap on to cover up the sound of your piss
After four years, don't you think I'm over all this?
"That's rich from a man who can't shit in a hotel room
He's gotta share for a bit"
You make a little hobby out of going to the lobby
To get things that they don't have
 
Does it go through ya when I'm talking to ya?
You know that I could sue you if we're married
And you f*ck up again
Impress myself with stealth and bad health
And my wealth and regressive causes
Then drink your kombucha and buy a Ed Ruscha
Surely, it's a print 'cause I'm not made of it
Look, the fucking state of it
I came pretty late to it
We can still be mates 'cause it's only a picture
 
All your friends in one place
Oh, we're a scene, whatever that means
I depend on my friends to stay clean
As sad as it seems
As sad as it seems
As sad as it seems

As sad as it seems

    A Send at least one thoughtful letter, my heart goes out to you
    B In the days when you were hopelessly poor, I just liked you more
    C Why pamper life's complexity, when the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat?
    D Yes, we may be hidden by rags, but we've something they'll never have
