lyrics

The roof is falling apart.
Scattered windows, explosive glass.
I’m too old for this stuff.
World War I, good old times.

Ain’t it plain to see? 80-year-old granny
Only needs some sleep, only needs some peace.
This so-called music, it’s driving me sick,
Give me my pills cause I can hear them sing:

Let’s get a sonotone when we are older.

No time for break, they gonna break my neck,
An earthquake a day, it’s more than I can take.
Blaze the place and fire the rest
Before they reproduce, before they lay eggs.
Wow. It’s getting down.
I let you spread the gas if you let me scratch the match,
It’s a hitch that can’t be scratched,
The glitch in the system that can’t be patched.
Hold my stick and hold me back.
When you attack Granny, GRANNY STRIKES BACK.
Knock knock, I’m gonna knock you out,
So I can get back to my nap.
Stop. Keep quiet. Even silence is way too loud.
They gonna keep playing until the sunrise,
Or until the first revolving light.
So bad my fake flowers died.
So bad I thought my dog barked.
So loud my sonotone can crack,
But that would be not that bad.
Ain’t got no mercy. I’m not peaceful like I’m supposed to be.
I’m gonna smash the door, take their guitars and slap them all, cause I hear them sing:

Let’s get a sonotone when we are older.

about

Max Bandicoot London, UK

An original acoustic style somewhere between Folk & Rap. Songwriting deeply influenced by artists such as Mumford and Sons, Ed Sheeran, and French rappers like MC Solaar or Nekfeu.
His live performance consists of Max, a loop pedal and enough energy to make a lighthouse glow. His unique use of loops fill the room with beautiful harmonies while affectionately slapping Martine (his tiny guitar).
