about

'Diana' was written following the theft of Felix's housemate's car. The car was found with someone living in it and it contained a lot of things that aren't usually in cars. A kitchen sink, a pottery llama and a bunch of memorabilia surrounding Princess Diana. This is a darkly comic observation of the situation, told in the first person.
We would like to offer our kindest sentiments to the person who took the car. We wish them well and hope they get the help they need.
The track was recorded on a Tascam 4-track cassette recorder in Felix's bedroom in London and was mixed by Megatrain and James Davies in a barn in Warwickshire. If you listen close you can hear us laughing. It's rough at the edges, but we had fun and we hope that comes across.
Video coming soon made by Michael & Jack Jobling of Them Pesky Kids.

lyrics

Diana:

I’ve been trynna keep you alive
With water, with food
But I’m running out of things
I can think of to do
To keep you alive
It’s not so easy
To run your own zoo

I’ve been trynna keep you alive
With rhythm and blues
But you never seem to listen
When I play it to you
You sleep right through
It’s not my fault that
I sing out of tune

But I know
You come round
When we’re speeding
All round town
And I know
I got found but
Round the world
In 18 miles

I’ve been trynna keep you alive
With colour and smiles
And pictures of Diana
On the day that she died
You look right through
It’s not okay that
You’re looking right through

I’ve been trynna keep you alive
With spray paint and toys
An entire kitchen sink
That fell right out of the sky
And cigarettes you can try
They’re not so bad if
You smoke them when you cry

And I know
You come round
When we’re speeding
All round town
And I know
I got found but
Round the world
In 18 miles

I’ve been trynna keep you alive
