lyrics

As we toil in our indifference
And the hours turn to days
We are passive but never complicit
We mind our own business
We don’t act afraid

Like spokes on the wheel of an exercise bike
The perpetual motion of a stationary life
We build ourselves out of the products we buy
We document everything
Building the lie

We document everything
Building the lie

But on the 277 I am starting to cry
With my head in my hands I am wondering why
I get up in the morning go to bed at night
When nothing ever happens in between

Baby I am on the verge of collapse
It’s like I can’t wake up but I can’t relax
And we’re not getting any younger
Let’s face the facts

We are mining an empty seam
We are mining an empty seam

I was careless when I was younger
Full of appetites and hungers
So I followed a lover to London
But the lover did not love me

And the city it bound me in ivory chains
Like the false economy of bad cocaine
Oh first it giveth
Then it taketh away

Now everyone’s a stranger and you don’t know why you came
Everyone’s a stranger and you don’t know why you came
Everyone’s a stranger and you don’t know why you came

But on the 277 I am falling apart
There’s a rock at the bottom of what used to be my heart
And I know I need a change but I don’t know where to start
When no one ever says what they mean

Maybe I should just hedge my bets
If life is suffering then what are regrets?
And maybe in time we will all forget
We were mining an empty seam

We were mining an empty seam
We were mining an empty seam

Louis Brennan London, UK

London-based Dubliner Louis Brennan is a singer-songwriter in the folk tradition. His folk however aren’t the field hands and travelling minstrels of yore but the repressed middle managers and ennui-ridden urbanites of late-stage capitalism. They populate tales of bad sex, drunk commutes and interpersonal claustrophobia delivered in Brennan’s cracked baritone, at times embarrassingly intimate ... more
