about

a tribute.

flatpack furniture is cheaply-produced and self-assembly, it is inexpensive and therefore ubiquitous.

lyrics

it was the early part of the century
and we knew we'd burn out eventually
but we made the most of our energy
sparked off each other's company
and the only things we cared about
were buying cds and going out
we could keep the real world at bay
we could just grow up some other day

when I was 25, I realised
if one of us died and one survived
no-one could say we'd never been alive

you could never see yourself
as a flatpack heart bought off the shelf
loud and hard is how you'd play
you lived your whole damn life that way
I still have all the cassettes
from the first year that we met
they may not get played again
but I will still hold onto them

and now I'm 35, I realise
if one of us died and one survived
no-one could say we'd never been alive

I will remember you in some awful club
watching some awful punks we both loved
I will remember being that bunch of punks
