Prayer List 02:05
Prayer List I’m hoarding minor ailments I’m a patient, always waiting I need stability I can’t just rely on you thinking of me I want rid x3 Crossing you off my prayer list I’m hoarding get well cards I leave them out for when the coughing starts again I leave the house when I feel better everything hurts and I regret it I want rid x3 Crossing you off my prayer list I’m crossing you off my prayer list...

The Binder’s Chills I could never be that specific I don’t know if I’d call it an illness Maybe it’s just the binder’s chills Are all my problems fictional? Detach me, this is boring Detach me, this is boring I left my heart in the medica where I exaggerated my temprature The nurse is sick, sick of me sick of my anxiety I keep coming back with new tall tales another excuse that’s bound to fail but maybe it’s just the binder’s chills are all my problems fictional? Detach me, this is boring Detach me, this is boring Detach me...

Boring 01:38
Boring You took me in when I was filled with hate I was the jacket that your brother bent out of shape Tie my hair up, absolve me from sin but now i’m just the new shoes that you’re struggling to break in Am I heartbroken or boring? Bless us, this holy mess Back when we were kids, and I guess just hold it in your lungs for longer it will make the effects stronger Am I heartbroken or boring?

St. James 01:57
St. James You’re my short term obsession My Jim Reeves collection I’m just trying to forget it I’m so easily distracted and it’s you it’s effecting but I won’t forget it A glowing reference to a dead pop star I love you because you don’t take it too far Forgive me for my short attention I’ll move on in just a second You’re my short term obsession My Jim Reeves collection I’m just trying to forget it I’m so easily attached to the next thing that falls through But I won’t forget you A glowing reference to a dead pop star I love you because you don’t take it too far Forgive me for my short attention I’ll move on in just a second

"Pale Kids are four queer-punks from Durham, high on the fizzy pop they give you their latest opus and it's a total banger. A wise person once said that they sound like a mix of The Undertones (if Fergal Sharkey dropped acid instead of drinking Tizer), Slade and Protex, It's the sound of a party that you were never invited to."

It's about being sick, distracted, heartbroken, obsessed, inattentive and the guilt we feel for all these things.
