lyrics

I’d take the bus I’d take a train
I’d take the hit an ear I’d maim
I’d sell my soul I’d change my name
To hear you say you feel the same

A time to cheat to double cross
A time to break to steal to cuss
Some lack direction then there’s us
We just sit here looking lost

I came back home I joined a band
I signed petitions lent a hand
A bain-marie by day I manned
From my ambition I ran I ran

O how you stare so vacantly
Just take those off inside you’ll see
Although we’re prone to disagree
No it’s not them you want it’s me

Now wherever I go there is us
In socks we stole from business class
The shirt that fits the scene untouched
I’ll only change it if I must

Never remember what I’ve done
It’s been the same since I was born
The keys I’ve lost the friends I’ve won
Just turn my back and I’ll be gone

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”.
