I.C.U.
I got you, your email
And your password, too
And your secret viewing habits,
Don’t deny it isn’t true.
With the malware we installed
We’ve seen you watch those titties bounce
It was easy to get our hands
On your online accounts.
I… C… U…
What we made was a double-screen
Time-dated video
Where we can see you stare at the glare
Of a captive, punished ho’
We’ll spare you the squalid details
We’re all aware what you’ve seen
Although we’ve found out in our research
She wasn’t quite sixteen
Wouldn’t you love to love to have
Someone to confide in?
Wouldn’t you love to love to have
Some hole you can hide in?
I… C… U…
I… C… U…
Thought your reputation pure as snow
Now you’re white as a sheet
And your future will be blind-eye black
If we’re not in receipt
Of five grand in Bitcoin
We order you to give,
In six days to this address
(Case sensitive).
Wouldn’t you love to love to have
Someone to confide in?
Wouldn’t you love to love to have
Some hole you can hide in?
Wouldn’t you love to love to have
Someone to confide in?
Wouldn’t you love to love to have
Some hole you can hide in?
I… C… U…
I… C… U…
Wouldn’t you love to love to love to love to love to love to love to love to love to love to love to love to love to love to love to love…

THINK OF A NUMBER
Think of a number
Divide by one per cent
Kick your ball over the wall
Don’t look where it went
Think of a number
Multiply it by a half
Kick your dream into the stream
Walk that narrow path
Think of a number
Think of a number
Think of a number
One between one and ten
Write down a name, the first you think of
Never think of it again
Think of a number
No-one else can see
Kick your dream into the stream
Watch it float out the sea
Think of a number
Think of a number
Think of a number
Think of a number
Think of a number
Keep it in mind
Kick your dream into the sea
For someone else to find
Think of a number
Don’t stick it on your tongue
Kick your dream into the stream
A song nobody sung
Think of a number
Think of a number
Think of a number
Think of a number

LOVE CRAWLS IN
I’m talking straight
And you twist it
I made my point
And you missed it
“Poor me, poor me,
Pour me another”
Wallow in your sorrow
While I run for cover
This loving heart
You broke it
Bluebird of happiness
You choked it
Of sordid betrayal
You accuse me
On the sauce, off the rails
You abused me
Can’t pretend I love all this
I try to be above all this
The only good thing about you now is ‘Goodbye’
I’ll find where true bliss is
It’s not there in your cold kisses
Your heart is where love crawls in to die.
Cry down your phone
’Cos you know you’re never alone
But that’s not where I’ll be
I’m a ripped page of your history
Can’t pretend I love all this
I try to be above all this
The only good thing about you now is ‘Goodbye’
I’ll find where true bliss is
It’s not there in your cold kisses
Your heart is where love crawls in to die.

Gener's Gone: The Final Demo Recordings of Gene Ween (2009-2011)
by Aaron Freeman
This is a low-level slow-burning marvel of almost nonchalant brilliance. Often, one finds beneath all the FX and gloss there's no song at all. Aaron Freeman has an ocean of depth beneath the surface.

Korean Boyfriend makes catchy, wonky, new wave-influenced art-rock with deadpan observations from their personal worlds.

The songs on the latest from Absolutely Free feel as expansive as a cloudless sky, with ringing guitars and bright-eyed melodies.

Hijack!
by Jack Ladder & The Dreamlanders
The sixth album by the Australian indie stalwarts pairs Ladder's velvety baritone with upbeat—yet faintly haunting—art pop arrangements.

Geneva Freeport
by Absolutely Free
This EP (which features Meg Remy of U.S. Girls) is punchy dance-punk that operates at a low, insistent simmer.
