about

A twice released single with unworthy reception. Once likened to the theme track to Crocodile Dundee by a cheeky and disrespectful "influencer"on a music streaming service that doesn't pay artists for their music.
The song is about burying our true feelings and living in shame.

lyrics

Jesus, I'm no good in a fight
I make a point
Take it back
Shrink away
Like a dying light

You call my bluff and I am thrown
Now you're going off about all the time I've blown
Just kicking back with my ego

You're going to get in my head
And I'm going to wrestle
To restrain
Every throw away comment
You make

You hate to say I told you so
Nevertheless you'll say it just to tally up the score
One million and 0

One million and 0
One million and 0

I don't want to open those gates
Don't want to recall every word
Every turn
Every single mistake

They're neither friends nor are they foe
They're nothing to me but memories I banished long ago
In hoods of calico

In hoods of calico
In hoods of calico
In hoods of calico
In hoods of calico
