I have friends They got "real" Jobs They grew up fast when times got tough I can relate, It must be fate, Coz weve been waisting time anyway (Chorus) Ding dong, Amazon Can i take your name please? Do you want fries with your covid Vaccine? Beep beep, You're in receipt of a total Breakdown Its free when you're smiling through a mask in Lockdown Cast aside Creative minds 'coz its best to move with the times I've never leached 'coz i got pride I've swallowed it all at least i've tried Chorus And i know its only temporary its all Necessary 2020 a full cemetery wheres our hope? do we have any? Chorus x2

Stepped off of the train put my boot in the snow hunched against the cold No hand to hold And i Though of you and i checked my phone coz i handne a clue where to go coz your the one how get about Glasgow So i followed the crowd and they were all singing their voices loud, half were steemin' they were singing a song that we all know (chorus) It went HERE WE FUCKING GO i've never felt so alone 7 weeks being on the road, 45 post codes and my smelly clothes And i Though of you and i checked my phone and i leave a message at the tone coz every message i leave is one closer to home So i followed the crowd and they were all singing their voices loud, half were steemin' they were singing a song that we all know (chorus) It went HERE WE FUCKING GO i've never felt so alone

so many first times id do it all again they said we waisted our young lives it was us against them i never understood "heartbreak" i think we're born that way when all the little sad moments make it all change I've been doing alright, since you all things considered Inside I'm silently screaming I'm running scared from my thoughts and feelings and when you're having a hard time just breathing mum says that time is healing I've been doing alright since you All things considered I know you all can see through me I wear my heart on my sleeves I bear the weight of this burden but I'm not on my knees I've been doing alright since you all things considered And when we stayed up till 3am talking shit about stars and how the worlds gonna end and i thought for a moment I could play pretend I though you would always be mine ... But I've been doing alright since you all things considered I've been doing ok, since you I'm not bitter if I have to tell you the truth I've been better but I'm doing alright, since you All things considered

Hypocrite 03:51
Everyones depressed, everyone has a social anxiety they need to publicly address you've been through CBT and PCT in order to fix it, right? i'm gonna make me some Hypocrites tonight I'm sorry Everybody's free, Anyone can do what they want just don't offend me, Because the exchange of rational ideas is Cognitively demanding And when you offended you know nothings really happening I'm sorry Everyones Unique Everybody's selfie's and eyebrows are the embodiment of fleek live your life let me know and when you become the star of your own reality tv show I'm sorry Everybody's high Everybody's using and abusing just to get some piece of mind I know dealing with your problems is much too hard a fight ah man ... I've made myself a hypocrite tonight I'm sorry The sky is Starry my nose is bloody i'm feeling a little dizzy

about

Moulded in the folk scene of Edinburgh, Ciaran McGhee shifts gear with “One Arm Tan”, the brand new 4 track EP, which looks to be his booming return to the music world. Fusing high energy and musical themes of 2000’s pop-punk then combining those themes with acoustic guitar and vocals tempered by Ciarans' ten years of singing ballads.

“One Arm Tan” is a significant shift from Ciaran’s debut album “Don’t Quit your Day Job”. Acoustic instruments are switched for a more modern, fun sound with full drum kit and some experiments with acoustic guitars via distortion pedals. The song writing is more streamlined, light-hearted and hook based. Inspired by bands like Blink-182, Greenday, Peat and Diesel, The Front Bottoms and Feeder.
