lyrics

I’m not ahead of my time I’m behind it
I’m not a valentine I’m a paper cup
If it’s a drink you’re after you won’t find it
If you throw me out there won’t be washing up to do

Well that’s some train track that you’ve been hugging
Your face it turned black gave me a heart attack
You’ve got it in for us you say it’s coming
I hope it’s serious and by serious I mean you

And all the old diseases well I caught ‘em
I drank from inkwells suffered fainting spells
And what’s the word it’s French for boredom
If books were get-wells I’d need library shelves in here

And all these weddings I can’t afford ‘em
If it’s worth doing don’t do it yourself
And happy endings you can’t ignore ‘em
We’re a shoo-in we’ll inherit our wealth my dear

It’s not like I’m hopeless
There are certain things I’ve learned to recognise

I’m no expert but I’m old enough
And a simple no would have sufficed

It’s not wonderful but it’s quite alright
They’re not taking everything we’ve got

I’m no surrogate I won’t fight your fight
I’ve got mine and it’s not worth a lot

Your two cents two cents

The Finks image

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”. ... more
