Recorded at Glistening Studios.

lyrics

Takes himself down to the oak tree, where he likes to sit and think to himself, about himself.
Where did it all go wrong?
They looked for you here, there, everywhere, through the streets you're not there. In the close nope they’re nowhere close.
You said you’ll come back when you're strong.
Where you gonna go and lay your eggs? Your friend said.
Now you’re thinking that you’re better off dead.
Your not a chicken you’re a boy, guttersnipe ain’t a toy.

Sorry sir, the lifestyle you wanted is outta stock, you get a new one from Topshop.
Your sister did and look at her now. Her fake lifestyle has turned her life around. She’s been up she’s been down, she’s not who she wants to be.
You’re not who you wanna be, that’s why you’re gonna make a change.

You spend your money on cigarettes and maps of the world, hoping that one day you will see it all.
But you’ve already seen it all.
You gonna run, you gonna jump, you gotta sing, you gotta dance you gotta do the can can, I know you can.
C’mon man.
Don’t neglect nor disrespect every single opportunity in life that you might get.
Grasp them with both hands.

Now I understand if you’re pissed off.
Don’t let behaviour get you down or make you cross.
Just don’t let the fools make a fool outta you.
Don’t let the fools make a fool outta you.
You’re gonna be who you want to be.
You’re gonna see the world in all it’s glory.
You’re gonna make that change.
Don’t let the fools make a fool outta you.
Now go and make that change.

Good news sir, the lifestyle you wanted is now in stock, you get a new one from our shop.
Just walk up to the till and purchase it, I swear to god you won’t regret it.
You’re a grown man now, stick up for yourself, don’t fuck about, scream and shout or listen to anyone else.
You're gonna make that change.
Now go and make that change.
Now go and make that change.
You’ve gone and made that change.

Cameron Roxburgh Scotland, UK

Carrying around a maturity and brave sense of experimentalism some artists twice his age lack, Cameron and long-term collaborator Callum set their roots acoustic songwriting against off-beat lyrics, unusual song structures and brash angular guitar work.
Cameron is out to make a personal connection with the listener, and to hone a sound that stands apart from the traditional singer-songwriter model
