A lizard State



This song is a bit of a difference to the rest of the album it's got a Teddy Boy rock'n'roll feel to it. It's upbeat and quite technically complicated for this artist yet the lyrics are more punk with the liberal use of profanities paired with his gritty, grimy voice. 
"But babe what am I to do

I've given up on loving you
I know it's not nothing new
so please do what I ask of you
and please do what I want you to
it's not fair
Baby blue, it's true
one day I'm gonna have you
but for now I don't care
I still feel the pain
of you not loving me the same
there's not much I can do"
His lyrics still hold that slightly hurt and immature approach to love and heartbreak which is why it's so attention grabbing because everyone has had these feelings, where there so intense you just need to rant on about it, which is why I've grown to love his song writing as it is so raw and truthful.
I also really love the video for this song as it is shot in black and white which creates an old school aesthetic, he is also suited up like a Ted, with a hint of the zoot suits of the early jazz era. The font used for the introduction also echo's old american 50's advertising, which another aspect I want to consider for my products.
