The oldest song here, I think. Sort of to do with expectations, self-definition, nights out with friendship groups that intersect yours, drinking, skin, America's Next Top Model and Almost Famous. You're always the substitute to someone.
lyrics
Some nights it feels like we're holding the whole city up single-handedly and I can't keep track of all the second year drama, all the kids shooting lusty looks over busy bars and no one ever follows through. The boys are far too eager to prove they've got their own homes to go to, and I understand all about making yourself believe in things you know to be untrue - like the idea that you would ever want to be even slightly close to me isn't just ridiculous, it's obscene.
Me and Matt are loose cannons on a field of horsemen, me and Matt are loose cannons rampant on a field, and we're always trying to move our teams on to the dancelfoors but they're always headed outdoors to smoke more, so now I'm tearing open wounds in toilet cubicles, I tell everyone I'm dying from the entertainment but I need Holly's hugs just to hold myself up and I've never felt more corpselike.
I have lied for entire nights, with smiling eyes I've lied and lied.
I'm the you they get when they can't get you.
(I am second hand you, I'm a lesser man's you)
I have tried for my whole life not to tell a single lie but it seems I'm always going to need to hold something back.
Miles LiMM screams lead vocals on track seven but more importantly, this is our favourite album made by our favourite friends. Top to bottom catchy chaotic emotional indie pop-RAWK glory. LookiMakeMusic
