lyrics

Your Cultural Capital
Dwarves mine like a giant
You’re a freelance artist
Who’s still trust fund reliant

I’m intimidated by your intellect
And your air of sophistication
Your levels of self-control
And splendid articulation

You collect rare vinyl
And read philosophical books
Your wardrobes worth thousands
To compliment your looks

You drink in hip establishments
With like-minded chameleons
A classless set of liberals
Hiding right wing opinions

You say what’s expected
In every single situation
You’re dishonest but you’re perfect
For successful integration

You smile and you tell everyone
That there work is great
You call this networking
And think you’re being straight

You scale the social ladder
With a strong first impression
A second natured ease
And appropriate discretion

Synthetic relationships
With an air of prostitution
It’s public image maintenance
With your made up constitution

Your drug taking casual
And always recreational
Then your daddy pays for rehab
When you’re no longer functional

Your command of the queen’s English
Is a mark of your intelligence
But your perfect execution
Lacks content and relevance

All the tracks are great but Stepper is the standout for me! pounding syncopated kicks, rolling handdrums and playful sample work, dancefloor destroyer. Jack G.
