Aren’t you? Hmmm. The slightly nefarious rumble of the opening bass line may suggest that this is a paradox…maybe. There is a cynical, if slightly defensive suggestion at a quiet suburban existence peppered with dark thoughts; textured synths keep the listener guessing if it will all be ok whilst bleak guitars herald a stark picture of loneliness…and is that manic laughter in the background? Of course everything will be alright, we are English after all.

Not a Psychopath
By Damn Good Liars
I’m a sufferer of attitude sickness
The goal is not them, the goal is love
High and lows, you are your own witness
Think of the world, unthankful of
He entered the six digit code just to be sure
I’m not insensitive, just don’t care anymore
I’m not self isolating, just like the space where
There’s no threat of psychological warfare,
Welcome to my vanity project
All exposed and open to all
No point in discussing the reason
This party ain’t no masquerade ball
Useless stories in the trees
Useless stories in the trees
I’m not a psychopath, I’m just English
Smiling eyes with a fucked up soul
Knifes, lies, history’s yet to finish
Everything in play, gotta to be in control
I’m not a psychopath, I’m just English
Smiling eyes with a fucked up soul
Knifes, lies, history is not finished
Everything in play, I’m in control
Living life, reflection in dread
(They said it’s in my head)
Crawling out of a lonely bed
(It lives in my nightmares)
Living life, constant illusion
(Its all domestic because no one cares)
Evil thoughts invading my head
Nursing my head, getting too old
Screamed to the heavens, just to be told
Knock on the door, knock on the door
You’ve got a lot to answer for
I’m not a psychopath, I’m just English
Smiling eyes, fucked up soul
Knifes, lies, history is not finished
Everything in play, have to be in control
I’m not a psychopath, I’m just English
Smiling eyes, fucked up soul
Knifes, lies, history is not finished
Everything in play, I’m in control
Digging through your soul, is the anyone in here
Digging through your soul, going to skip a year
Digging through your soul, is the anyone in here
I’m not a psychopath, I’m just English
Smiling eyes, fucked up soul
Knifes, lies, history is not finished
Everything in play, have to be in control
I’m not a psychopath, I’m just English
Smiling eyes, fucked up soul
Knifes, lies, history is not finished
Everything in play, I’m in control
