He threw a Christmas party one night
We ate Haribo and drank hot hot wine
Before coming back home he got his head shaved
Mum and dad were so scared
Sweet sweet boy
One of these days we’ll really miss you, our friend
One of these days we’ll really miss you, our friend
One of these days, we won’t hear “yeah” no more
One of these days, we won’t hear “why not?” no more
Sweet sweet boy
He never gets mad at us ‘cos he’s a sweet sweet boy
Even we almost destroyed his machine with beer
Even when we broke his face against the pavement
Cause to forgive is what he does best
Sweet sweet boy
One of these days we’ll really miss you, our friend
One of these days we’ll really miss you, our friend
One of these days, we won’t hear “yeah” no more
One of these days, we won’t hear “why not?” no more
Post-punk in the Sonic Youth mold—melody covered by creeping fuzz, anchored by architectural rhythms, with lyrics both abstract and direct. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 5, 2019
