lyrics

What is this mess that I’ve made of my heart?
Thinking it would change but it never does
Seeking relief in other people’s arms
Thinking this time’s gonna be different
But it goes right back to the start

It’s an old familiar feeling
No matter what year I’m in
I dont think its the company that I keep
It’s my heart that keeps refusing to beat

Waking up tense and breathing hard
Oh god where’s my sleeve and where’s my heart?
Can they see the panic in my eyes?
I think I’ve blown my cover, I’ve lost my disguise

It’s an old familiar feeling
No matter what year I’m in
It’s not the company I keep
It’s my heart that keeps refusing to beat

Oh the feelings they’re still mine
Oh it’s beating but it’s a fine line
Between alive and having a heart that’s died

It’s an old familiar feeling
No matter what year I’m in
It’s not the company I keep
It’s my heart that keeps refusing to beat

Will this be the end?

about

MOON CUP Melbourne, Australia

MOON CUP is the fierce two-headed beast brainchild of Rita Khayat (Spiral Perm), wielding hypnotic bass driven post-punk that is larger than the sum of its parts. Bringing the thunder to this dynamic two-piece is Emily Chen (Edith Lane, Erin Will Be Mad), delivering frenetic rhythms with savage precision.

I'm so glad PP is getting some due and getting out there in the world and playing where others can find and also love them. Bouncy and punky with an edge and a humor that is properly edgy, not just gauche. Richard Weems
