For all the snakes and arthropods It’s just a case of luck and odds But I live in a world of frauds Distract me from myself To never think because it’s hard And always play the safety card Will get you battered, bruised and scarred Distract me from myself With all the wreckage piling high And sounds of panic in the sky It’s tough for even birds to fly Distract me from myself The things we do because we feel The searching for a better deal To lose the mind and make it real Distract me from myself There’s a hole in the fabric And we dive right into it And it keeps getting deeper So the wheels can keep spinning Unlike the lowly frogs and toads We take the longest crooked roads And stab the heart ‘til it explodes Distract me from myself I hear the message loud and clear Another fucking shitty year But never mind, let’s grab a beer Distract me from myself

The answer is simple, there’s no need to fear Some bastard betrayed you, it’s really quite clear He’s wrong in opinion and sick in the head All problems are based on whatever he said (Chorus) So we pass blame And we fan flame We got no shame Yeah it’s cold out there Things will be better when she’s not around We’ll bury our problems with her in the ground It’s not complicated, it must never be Just alter one detail and then we are free (Chorus) Simplify, simplify Give it a shot Uncomplicate it And rewrite the plot So your finger is pointing at x marks the spot ‘Cause it’s easy Go with the black or the white, not the grey When human existence is never that way Believe in the spreaders of simplistic lies And scapegoat the future while intellect dies (Chorus)

Fallout 03:57
Smiling because you think you’re right Pushing the future out of sight Trading the morning for the night Reason well and truly hid Fallout from what you fucking did Running as if we need to go Taking the best seat for the show You lit the fuse now watch it blow Traces of poison in your drink Fallout because you didn’t think Jumping through a sucker’s hoop Croutons of wreckage in your soup You knocked your neighbours for a loop Don’t care, it’s easier like that Fallout on which to hang your hat Suck it. Fuck it. Don’t be shy We’ll sing the modern lullaby To scandalise beyond compare And make decisions based on air Punish, sanction, don’t forgive The audacity that others live Find your strength through social suicide Buy it. Kill it. Satisfied? Show them colours, no need to hide Lie because it feels so good And narrow down the likelihood Rape, pillage, victimise And celebrate what that implies Gamble off the future on a whim Waiting, what else can we do Accepting the old over the new Halted by stuff that isn’t true Control by taking choice away Fallout from another day

I like to thrill myself online whenever I please Some say that kind of quick fix is a social disease I want it fast and frequent man, I’m epic world class I get people to love me while I sit on my ass (Chorus) And it’s real, so real It’s relatively painless And I feel, yes I feel Content with being brainless Some people think that I should have a walk around town But my phone is so important that I can’t put it down I love the little heads when they appear on my screen All my friends in one place man, I’m keepin’ it clean (Chorus) I have no real relationships ‘cause that’s fuckin’ hard And anything that isn’t instant I can discard Useless in the real world I just occupy space But my online friends adore me man, and that’s really ace (Chorus)

In Your Face 05:58
One day you're an angel, the next day you're a cow I'd like to get to know you, but I wonder how With all those limitations on what you will allow In your face You tell me that you love me when you're in the mood If you're feeling hungry, you swallow me like food And then I turn my back and it's some other dude In your face In your face In your face You only see me when I'm in your face You are 20 people, give or take a few So I always wonder who I'm talking to When I scratch the surface of what I'm gonna do In your face It galls me to indulge you but there’s no other way Of filling up the spaces you give me in a day I must be self-destructive ’cause I just wanna stay In your face In your face In your face You only see me when I'm in your face

about

Out of the bucolic rolling green of Lushwood Hills spring these six new songs from TB. A considerably more sombre release than his previous, these tunes are 70% cocoa in confectionery terms. But they are also stuffed with enough generous portions of nougat and bubblegum to appease the tastes of any fan of sophisticated pop music. Try one and you may not be able to stop!

"Irresistible!" - Mary Contrary, musician

"Six little gems polished to perfection." - Phil Lickman, The Subterranean

"The first thing you should listen to is Walter Under the Bridge. If you don't like that, there is no hope for you." - Tony Roko, musician

"Todd Brunner sucks! If you support wholesome values like mega-wealth, inequality and climate change denial, avoid this like the plague." - Alice Forkwelder, The Torygraph
