"Donnie Darko"

I saw you in the yellow pages
I just looked at it to pass the time
In my self-alienating phases I play a rough game to win, to win
Of being things that I can't be
And honestly some people are so committed to honesty
But I don't know if these can face that
'Cause I've wanted to take back what I've said before
But I, I couldn't find my receipt

I've got bed bug bites up my spine
And my left hand side cooled them down
In the freezer aisle, oh, so sweet, so the night comes by
Now I'm lying flat on the bathroom tiles
Hear the buzz of the hornet fly
Trapped inside of my orchid mind
I'm going batshit crazy
It's not real life, I can't be dialing 999
Peel my skin like a clementine
Just reminds me of Auld Lang Syne
But I focus right on the bright, blue light
And hold on tight, hold on tight

Donnie Darko's at my windscreens
Screaming, stop the car, stop the car, please
But I can't
And I can't

'Cause the beatings just get harder and we'll never grow them out
'Cause the hand that does the dealings is the one that feeds your mouth
And the beatings just get harder and we'll never grow them out
'Cause the hand that does the dealings is the one that feeds your mouth
And I won't, and I won't

I saw you in the yellow pages
I just looked at it to pass the time
In my self-alienating phases I play a rough game to win, to win
Of beatings that I can't beat
And honestly some people are so committed to honesty
But I don't know if these can face that
'Cause I've wanted to take back what I've said before
But I, I couldn't find my receipt

I saw you in the yellow pages
I just looked at it to pass the time
'Cause I've wanted to take back what I've said before
But I can't, and I can't
And I know, and I know

In case you're wondering, yes everybody from Norwich is this bonkers.

[kdjets]

They're the dorkiest most confident duo I've seen perform in awhile. How are they so playful yet so transcendent at the same time? I heard this one before, but "Hot Pink" came up on a Spotify radio and I had to look them up. After watering them perform, my fandom is solidified.

Surprised they're so young. Could've fooled me and told me they were seasoned pros, but these gals are just getting started!

[jamesbrousseau]

Truly I say unto thee, this definitely rates as one of the coolest live performances ever

[williamwilkinson]

So ahead of their time. They're from the future. Nobody makes music that makes you feel some type of way anymore. They don't make music they make magic

[danibee]

literally one of my all time fave videos on here. usually makes me cry - not sure why, but donnie darko the film did too.

[mrfunnierthanu]

This is the most wholesome thing I have ever seen.

[withor]

I don't know why but these girls bring joy to my life

[michbiker]

Great video! I'll be smiling for the rest of the evening.

[HappyNBoy]

I can't help but have a dopey smile plastered on my face as I watch this. It's just the most fun performance I've ever seen. So goofy and jubilant. It's ridiculous how much I love this... I don't even like this song all that much on the record. It's just a fine song in that context. Here it's a celebration!

[tokki_]

This performance smells like freedom... 🎈 Love it!

[andreacavaliere]

This has to one of my favourite songs ever. I heard this group on 6music and thought WOW. Wow they are, the album is bloody brilliance what a refreshing duo they arep

[ziptagthesnake]

Saw 'Let's Eat Grandma' supporting Chvrches a few weeks back. Never heard them before, now a big fan!

[beckyl]

Most original band for years, they just keep getting better. Love. Them.

[treecris]

I will definitely be looking forward to what Let's Eat Grandma puts out in the future. Promising young indie artists.

[ikmuzu]

I love this girls so much, I'm just getting into their songs but I'm already in love with this duo, this is one of my favorite songs ever and listening to this high is perfection I swear, such a great song

[grahamburglar]

Thanks for this excellent recording! I don't know what it is about this song, but the crescendo pulls the biggest emotional reaction out of me. Awesome to have a great live recording of it!

[designedlearnin]

Joyful indeed...and the power of real people making their own music in their own way. This track is my top track on Spotify....11 mins of simple creativity :-)

[BTVS]

This deserves so much more views. Amazing band and performance.

[fwiru]

Hopefully the industry doesn't ruin these two

[virgoblin]
