1.
Lyrics probably made up on the spot. The song is about the lack of things to do in south lanarkshire. it's also a bit about hope for the future
2.
it's about one time when I was in the park and it was sunny and the squirrels ran on my chest
3.
this song is a response to the unexpected sudden death of a good friend and the sudden realisation that life is not a rehearsal and you have to fucking live it people. nowadays it's a theme song for an independent Scotland.
4.
it's a story about being afraid of death but realising that you are going to die and sort of hoping that if you were going to die someone would take you out to the countryside and leave you there. it was written after a drunken trip to london to see nine inch nails at brixton academy and that's why it's so fucking morbid
5.
it's about not wanting to speak to people but cunts still phoning you even when they are clearly cunts and they should know better. i'm much nicer and more approachable nowadays
6.
this song is about an immediate emotional response to the unexpected accidental death of a friend and responding to people who say insensitive and thoughtless things. it's a really angry and bitter song. the original chorus had the lyrics 'fuck you, you fucking cunt, fuck you, you fucking runt'. I compromised my artistic integrity there so I could get on top of the pops. that worked, didn't it?

about

a collection of demo recordings from 1999. inspired by the velvet underground and JAMC. the songs were about wanting to escape the shit life in south lanarkshire and dealing with the accidental death of a friend at a young age but not really having the emotional maturity to cope with it. You'll be glad to know that things worked out pretty damn well in the end and that he rarely touches a guitar nowadays
