lyrics

delivered nonplussed on the slowest of days
to the person I had become
I put my trust in the handsomest face
I was bored and bewildered and numb

I learned to listen to any old voice
that drifted in from the wings
I never thought to make sense of the noise
I heard the cruellest things

hero or herring
lover or lemming
won’t you tell me I’m no good
would it matter if you would

I looked with shame and derision
on the things I once had adored
took steadying breaths in the strangest of depths
behind unfamiliar doors

the eddying air
a fistful of hair
would it matter if you knew
would it implicate you too

my first affair

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”.
