(sun's a grass...) [Verse 1 - deadpan British snotty delivery, lazy swagger, dry vocal up close with callbox distortion, warm rubbery bass pulse, subtle motorik groove, lo-fi tape saturation, intimate but slightly detached] Two sugars going cold on the windowsill Dead phone, half a cab fare, standing still I told the night I'd be home by one The night just laughed, said son, you're done [Pre-Chorus - vocal lifts toward falsetto, building hypnotic tension, dusty Rhodes and phased synths rising, muffled atmospheric depth, trip-hop sway] There's a milk float crawling down my road That's the sound of getting told [Chorus - big chantable hook, thick stacked reverb-soaked falsetto harmonies, four-on-floor disco kick with krautrock pulse, swaggy hypnotic energy, melancholy under the dance groove, glassy chimes sparkling] Stay in the dark, the sun's a grass It tells your mum exactly where I've been Pull the blinds and let the morning pass I'm only ever honest at three-sixteen Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh (don't let it in) Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh [Verse 2 - snotty, specific, closer-mic callbox vocal with more grit, funky electronic bass grooves, neo-soul warmth in the low end, lo-fi textures with crystalline bell accents] You do your eyeliner like a threat Kiss like a ticket I've not paid yet Whole city's tucked in fast asleep Two last idiots it gets to keep [Chorus - fuller layered falsetto, cinematic build, defiant push-pull tension, euphoric yet melancholic peak, warm analog swells into modern house drive, faint vocoder ghosts] Stay in the dark, the sun's a grass It tells your mum exactly where I've been Pull the blinds and let the morning pass I'm only ever honest at three-sixteen Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh (don't let it in) Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh [Bridge - swagger cracks into vulnerable, heavy reverb + telephone distortion, psychedelic pulses, ambient void with muffled depth, honest fragility, motorik pulse slowing] When the sky goes white I go a little bit dead Got a good Tuesday folded under the bed Don't open them up, don't say my name The daylight knows me — that's the shame [Outro - falsetto wall, bells sparkle, cavernous reverb tails, hypnotic dissolution, swaggy yet weary chant fading into tape hiss and space] Sun's a grass, sun's a grass Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh (stay in the dark with me) [End]
