about

Imperfect is a song about the current rotten state of the United Kingdom, written and recorded during the Coronavirus lockdown, April 2020.

lyrics

OK OK OK OK what you looking at eh? What you looking at? Eh?
Ah not me, ah sorry, so sorry, oh behind me? Ok oh really. Really?


Sterile culture, dentist gallery, pull the wool over this island fantasy
It’s done now, its over, there’s shit pouring down the white cliffs of dover
And you’re ruining your Sunday bestest, well, it serves you right for all that fascist self interest
Pomposity, of victory, England lies all limp but angry

Imperfect, imperfect, ch ch ch ch ch change the subject
Imperfect, imperfect, na na na na na na na na na ahhhh

Sycophantic, weak willed, hypocritical and full of pills
And housed in every, pub corner, knee deep in red white and blue armour
Rubber boned and, well toned and, impotently safety zoned and,
This country? Fucking REALLY? Ya ya ya ya ya yours sincerely

Imperfect, imperfect, ch ch ch ch ch change the subject
Imperfect, imperfect, na na na na na na na na na na na na

No no no I’m not mocking you mate, just disgusted, as I know you’re not to be trusted
It’s just the state of it, the actual state of it, you know the difference mate, you KNOW

Power mad scramble, idiot nation, landlord overlord corporation
And there’s twenty types of coffee and fifty types of gin…
But there’s no baked beans in the food bank bargain bin

The lids off now mate you can say what you like
You can say what you think it’s alright, it’s alright
Cos we’re alright Jack yeah? No bother no bother,
The confidence is back yeah so let’s have another
So that’s four pints of rose tinted bullshit my man and artisan scratchings for the edgelord footy fan

Ah yeah it’s piss weak, c’est chic, and none of your vosprung durch fucking tech-fucking-nique


Imperfect, imperfect, ch ch ch ch ch change the subject
Imperfect, imperfect, na na na na na na na na na na na na

Champagne sir? Champagne sir? Ok ok ok ok yeah
Complimentary? Lovely. Fresh. Fizzy. No bother, no bother, no bother.
