lyrics

Pass me a Panadol and a Gatorade
Am I looking old is it just my age
I was clever once
Until I spent the night with the neighbour’s wife
He just up and left her in the drive
They’re a lovely bunch

She’s got a mortgage and an overjet
I’ve got a notebook and a novel
I haven’t finished yet
She needs a lot of love I’ve a lot to give
Do we get along is it relative
To how long we get

We’ve got the whole afternoon
To think of ways to make money
If it had happened to you
I’d have probably thought it was funny

Now there’s a sign up on our new front lawn
Take your shoes off in the corridor
I don’t read it much
It takes a cigarette and a drink or two
It takes a complete utter talking to
Before I’ll talk as such

What with part-time work and the neighbour’s wife
I just get so tired it’s a pauper’s life
But an honest one
I’m not dreaming I’m nobody’s fool
I’m not sleeping well there’s so much to do
That I haven’t done

Loose lips loose lips loose lips loose lips

about

The Finks Melbourne, Australia

The Finks play the songs of Oliver Mestitz. They are sincere but flippant, intimate but aloof, subtle but unpolished.

The Finks have released a steady stream of quietly uncompromising music via Milk! Records since 2012 – three EPs, two cassettes, four LPs and a handful of singles. Critics have described The Finks as “crushingly beautiful” and “perhaps the most underrated act in Australian music”.
