Out on the town, Cause you wanna, Find the love of your life, 'Til next morning gonna, You got the moves, you got the touch, for myself I can't say that much, Act like a real person, Cause you wanna, Feel in and out, Undetected, No Dramas, You got the moves, you got the touch, for myself I can't say that much, You got the moves, you got the touch, for myself I can't say that much, You got that killing glare, Trimmed and fancy facial hair, Ply your prey with alcho-pops, Your slaying spree will never stop, Try to blame your parents lies, People 'round you drop like flies, He's a killer, he's a one, He's a killer, Come back to my place, 'Cause you said, Come on baby, I'll pour acid into your head, You got the moves, you got the touch, for myself I can't say that much, You got the moves, you got the touch, You got that killing glare, Trimmed and fancy facial hair, Ply your prey with alcho-pops, Your slaying spree will never stop, Try to blame your parents lies, People 'round you drop like flies, He's a killer, he's a one, He's a killer, He's a killer, he's a one, He's a killer.

Gotta keep, Swimming like a shark, Water over my gills, Running over the hills, Water under the bridge, Wondering what is this? Cast a line for my fins, Fishing for compliments, Not working since, I snap, snap, snap, And bite, bite, bite, Goodnight to the light, Do I fight or flight? Gotta keep, Afloat like a ship, Is that land ahoy, Decked out in corduroy, Words an oil slick, Faces making me sick, Sipping coloured gin, Single pain chins, Especially since, I snap, snap, snap, And bite, bite, bite, Goodnight to the light, Do I fight or flight? Vultures, Circling overhead, Vultures, I could be dead meat right now, Vultures, It's not worth the heart attack, Vultures, Get this shit off my back, Gotta keep, Swimming like a shark, Water over my gills, Running over the hills, Water under the bridge, Wondering what is this? Cast a line for my fins, Fishing for compliments, Not working since, I snap, snap, snap, And bite, bite, bite, Goodnight to the light, Do I fight or flight? For the hole in my head, Thank You, Vultures, Circling overhead, Vultures, I could be dead meat right now, Vultures, It's not worth the heart attack, Vultures, Get this shit off my back, Vultures, Circling overhead, Vultures, I could be dead meat right now, Vultures, It's not worth the heart attack, Vultures, Get this shit off my back.

Caution beware, The monsters beckon you up the stairs, And the girl who sleeps under there, Has purple eyes and long white hair, Absurdist, Observe this, My needs are serviced, But I'm only eight, And I can't relate, To the current form of political debate, Your so young don't worry, It's just play time, I promise, I'll grow up, Over, my, dead, youth.

about

Recorded in June/July 2022 post covid, 'Live at 247' is a release of three songs that the band have been sitting on since pre-covid.

Killer, Vultures and Dead Youth have been mainstays of the band's live set since the early days. These recordings capture the band's live energy, with only light mixing to give the songs a balance this EP presents a raw audio picture of the live experience of Day Job.

Lyrically, front man Nick Brooker explores humanities obsession and attraction to darkness in Killer, the feeling of being slowly corroded by society in Vultures and finally outlines the bleakness of growing up in today's political culture in Dead Youth. All underpinned by fuzzed up force of Chris Jones' bass and the driving groove of the drums from Dan Wright.
