about

Making of an Artist is about observation, prose, poetry, and, of course, capitalism.

lyrics

I was making it down the street
All the hip people were looking at me
Windows gleamed, trees bending all over, raiding mum's closet for vintage tees, oh
Lights flashing saying Buy me, plastic items flowing down the river
Keep your neck warm, hip stardom with a scarf
Familiarise yourself with a dozen ways

Virtual worlds colliding in my brain
Buy me, let me sell my name again
Let's getaway. I want to leave this town today
Straight back to another life far away

The making of an artist in a materialistic world

In the City, conversations for free
Middle-aged people shouting at each other
Headdress scarf, shoving lettuce down again. We have to go to Europe or maybe New Orleans.
Making a new record is very expensive now; once you've paid for it, you've got to get it printed.
That sounds fantastic, especially the drums,
Oh, really, did we both call at the same time

Virtual worlds colliding in my brain
Buy me, let me sell my name again
Let's getaway. I want to leave this town today
Straight back to another life far away

The making of an artist in a materialistic world
The making of an artist in a materialistic world

Images of animals and children's TV
Ironic statements of vintage book covers
Improvisation colourful eyewear
Strong Latte, Ushanka and couches

Virtual worlds colliding in my brain
Buy me, let me sell my name again
Let's getaway. I want to leave this town today
Straight back to another life far away

The making of an artist in a materialistic world
The making of an artist in a materialistic world
The making of an artist in a materialistic world
The making of an artist in a materialistic world

The making of an artist in a materialistic world
The making of an artist in a materialistic world
The making of an artist in a materialistic world
The making of an artist in a materialistic world
