The Escapist

She travels with the fair
If the lights keep flashing
No one’s got the heart to say somethings not right
So, blissfully unaware
That the mood has shifted
A calls gone through in a too dark room, It’s just one night, It’s not worth the fight
Last night there was another explosion,
No fire to the fuel have you seen those?
The towns covered in ash of the last one,
There’s no point repainting the old homes
I’ve been playing the victim
I’ve been playing the victim
A storm rolls overhead,
She takes off her dress.
It falls straight to skin, they won’t know she got wet
Was the same in the crash,
Just got out quickly,
And walked the hurt off, there’s too much stuff to cry about to let it out
Everyone thinks I’m lacking emotion, I’ve learnt how to control my face
Staying well away from devotion, leave them to fuck up at their own pace
I’ve been playing the victim
I’ve been playing the victim
Couldn’t see the path, you took my hand and led by through the garden
Didn’t wanna stop, I closed my eyes and let you push me harder
Got too drunk again and poured my problems on my best friend
Wonder if he’s still gonna wanna hang in the morning
I’ve been playing the victim
I’ve been playing the victim
I’ve been playing the victim
I’ve been playing the victim

Nothing Bad About Me
05:12

Bare faced jealousy, of a pretty freak
Back seat scowling broken so delicately
“Your always so nice, don’t ruin it tonight.”
I’m your little lamb, silently upset
Gritting my teeth just to be your favourite pet
I’m so fucking nice, I never speak my mind
Does that make me a liar?
Don’t think that’s what I’m like
You’ve never said anything bad about me
Is that why I don’t wanna leave?
Gotta live up to it so I treat you kindly
You took away my strength now I can’t get angry
I’d loose it all, pull out my hair,
Let the sun set on my temper
Burn in crimson streaks, 'till darkness buries me
Torn down the line, from what I saw
To what you said, It was wasn’t her
So I apologise I always end up crying
You hate the jealous type
You’ve never said anything bad about me
Is that why I don’t wanna leave?
Gotta live up to it so I treat you kindly
You took away my strength now I can’t get angry
I don’t know what I’m like anymore
It’s been a long time and I’m defined by what you saw
I think I’m the wrong kind of yours
I don’t know what I’m like anymore
It’s been a long time and I’m defined by what you saw
I think I’m the wrong kind of yours
I don’t know what I’m like anymore
It’s been a long time and I’m defined by what you saw
I think I’m the wrong kind of yours
I think I’m the wrong kind of yours
I think I’m the wrong kind of yours

Stick It Out
03:52

Your hands were over my mouth
when you said you're glad, it all worked out
Couldn't say where I got stuck
Advocate change, with all the same old posters up
Why don't you take them down?
Yeah I think their music kind of sucks,
but I've got all their t-shirts now
So I'm gonna stick it out
I have a friend he's full of good lines
I write them down to repeat as mine
Never seen him in a bad mood,
likes to be liked, he say's if there was nothing left to prove
There's so much more I'd say out loud
But that's just not what people do
and they like to have me around
so I'm gonna stick it out
The films we saw on that drive
windscreens could capture cinematic light
Before you let this go down
I think I just got what it is about
and I wanna stick it out
We had big plans for going on tour
never left your job in the store
I smile and say it's never too late
Let's take your kids, move to LA, get our big break
I'm close to being put in the ground
Don't you want in on the fortune I'll make
Guess until then I'll hang about
Well I'm glad you stuck it out

Superheroes

Seeking supernatural you called my bluff
There is always so much to sleep off
Awake in the early hours, alone with the crazy folk and their dogs
I would have the power to shed my skin
Shape-shift as a monarch or president
I think there’s a danger, in playing a stranger for too long
Hold on to what you’ve got, before it’s gone
Ticket for a day trip to anywhere
Click your fingers close your eyes your there
Picking the place it’s somewhere just this, but better
Try and get a picture with our past selves
Tell them that the future looks like hell
What if they give up, on a night alone in a cheap hotel
Best to leave it, guess all’s well that ends well
I would have the power to not be seen
Social interaction like in a dream
Show face if I wanted
Just the way that my dad has always been
Miss out on the best parts, then “Happy 18!”
Lucky I’ve a lot to lose
Lucky I’ve a lot to lose
Lucky I’ve a lot to lose
Lucky I’ve a lot to lose
Lucky I’ve a lot to lose

At the age of 11, Kitty Perrin began song-writing under the unlikely guidance of DR Feelgood guitarist Gordon Russell, and
by her teens she was performing regularly across the South East.
Her dreamy indie-pop melodies and conversational lyrics draw inspiration from the blunt 00s pop songs of her youth, whilst her narrative driven song-writing is more reminiscent of alternative-indie legends.
