congrats on yr retirement is the first single from our upcoming EP 'for the good times', out 7th July

lyrics

grateful for the hand above that's kept me fed
reverse the mortgage on my happiness
now i've saved enough my body's all but spent

thanks for your service, cheers for your time
make something useful of the rest of your life
thanks for your service, cheers for your time
should've been smarter now you'll work 'til you die

now my twilight years are draped across the road ahead
tombstone in the distance reads 'a life well lived'
at least that's what we tell ourselves in the end

thanks for your service, cheers for your time
make something useful of the rest of your life
thanks for your service, cheers for your time
should've been smarter now you'll work 'til you die
