FAKING IRONY

Modern Artists like Leon Bridges and Son Little marry hip hop or RnB rhythms often to acoustic based songs. Its an opportunity to blend elements that you love from 2 generations of music into one song - some lyrical bite, sweetened by 60s vocal harmonies. FAKING IRONY I see your troubles start from within And she is prickling cause you’re so wooden Look at her sparkle like the lemon Floating on her pour of bubbly gin Life is serious but only at certain times of day Where’s the gazelle leap to release your mind to play It’s a hard road when you take everything literally If only you could take a course in faking irony But here you are your face is pinched and spidery If only you could take a course in faking irony For you gravity and time operate differently You’re drowning in the history of epiphany Will you ever get to feel for the other side Letting go that crippling brainy ultra-pride She needs a belly laugh that drops her to the ground Nothing sexy ‘bout your analysing head up in the clouds It’s a hard road . . . faking irony Your birth blueprint and childhood pricked you like a thorn But your conscience can’t be faulted and you’re always doing good You probably can’t be changed and that’s an awful thought Cause things I’m advocating - they probably can’t be taught She needs a belly laugh that drops her to the ground Nothing sexy ‘bout your analysing head up in the clouds It’s a hard road . . . faking irony
