"...each verse as a weird reality-tv drama scenario... featuring our New York friends Tony or Tony!"

lyrics

Rusty chips and a half dead fish,
is the dish of the day
Screw that face counter-clockwise, Or you’ll catch a kiss from the rain
I told brother, that’s not our mother
And I told sister, we don’t share the same mister
Now they’re mad that I spoiled the party
They share the same birthday

Chorus:
And now we all feel a bit grey, grey This way
It’s all gone a bit grey
It’s here again
We all feel a bit gray, grey
Today

Mind your wig, and tuck your chin the Spoiled milk’s hittin’ the fan
No one’s clean in the mensch machine
Everyone out for themselves
We used to be lovers now we can’t look at each other
Dissonant chairs don’t sit next to another
Digging trenches in the sand
Too bad we share the same friends

Chorus:
And now we all feel a bit grey, grey This way
It’s all gone a bit grey
It’s here again
We all feel a bit gray, grey
Today

(Tony or tony bridge)
All your interactions turn grey
it’s like your saving for another day
Open up and you’ll find
your quiet eye, you’ve got a private eye...

Vodka and envy kept the bridesmaid steady
sipping straight from her flask
Too drunk to notice, the best man’s nervous
Sweat dripping down his neck
Our dear bride’s still crying on the toilet
She caught the best man with her groom in the closet
I was looking forward to that cake
The wedding planner still wants his cheque

Chorus:
And now we all feel a bit grey, grey This way
It’s all gone a bit grey
It’s here again
We all feel a bit gray, grey
Today

The Passion Of

It’s refreshing. They are a solid Punk band who’s not afraid to make people dance. Special Interest understands that PunkRock and Disco are the best lovers. The Passion Of is passionate sh*tkickers making great sounds with a spirt of genuine activism. It’s on my top 5 releases of 2020. DxNxxL
