about

After taking a break from writing to concentrate efforts on recording and touring with The Family Ruin I returned back to normality feeling deflated, dejected and pretty useless. What better way than to channel that energy into an upbeat synthpop song?

The fourth song from my back catalogue was unmixed and relatively unfinished from writing it in 2016 until 2020 when I re-recorded the vocals and gave this track a new lease of life.

Thanks for listening! đź–¤

lyrics

This is my body for you, and this is my blood
Run away and use me baby, whatever way you want
And it's a cold, dark day on planet Earth
It's not the best but at least it could be worse

Giving in to temptation, it's in my blood
It's all I've got; step right up and do your worst

I don't know what you do but you do it good
I don't know how you do it but I know you should
It might just be a stab in the dark but you could just fix this broken heart
I don't know what you do but you do it good
You do it good to me

Borrowing happiness from tomorrow
One drink at a time
My mind is racing, my thoughts escape me
As the sunlight burns my eyes

It's another memory, of someone who I used to be
And I'm sure it's just a fleeting glimpse
But I can't escape this hole that I'm living in

I don't know what you do but you do it good
I don't know how you do it but I know you should
It might just be a stab in the dark but you could just fix this broken heart
I don't know what you do but you do it good, you do it good

I said Hey!
I guess I'm on my own again
I said Hey!
I guess I'm on my own

I don't know what you do but you do it good
I don't know how you do it but I know you should
It might just be a stab in the dark but you could just fix this broken heart
I don't know what you do but you do it good, you do it good for me

I don't know what you do but you do it good
I don't know what you do but you do it good
You do it good, you do it good to me
I don't know what you do but you do it good
I don't know what you do but you do it good
