Tennessee 04:18
Tennessee, you’re part of me With all the places where I’ve ever been, but you Nashville, listening to Kurt Vile With all the places in time I won’t see with you We saw the coolest part of the city out of your window door I’ve never walked my street with you We used to sit right at the table in our favorite part of the night Am I right? Am I right? I wondered what are the odds, what are the odds What are the odds, what are the odds Of seeing you cooking pasta in the kitchen I would build with my hands for you, for you, for you I’d built with my hands for you What are the odds I’d built with my hands for you What are the odds I’d built with my hands for you What are the odds That was April, not December It was mid-November, beginning of December When disillusion first came up Disillusion came up as it always happens here Disillusion came up But it came up As the day began As the day began And what are the odds Disillusion came up What are the odds Disillusion came up And what are the odds Disillusion came up But it came up as the day

Tinder 03:13
It pisses me off Every time it slides so unbelievably heavily on the scenery You should have seen it, it was round the corner Just as your Tinder crush said It’s never been late I should have known that it’s never been late I should have known that it’s never been late It freaks me out When the mirror says I’m a miserable piece of plastic Like a wasted toy that has been used improperly insanely It’s just a self-distructive game It’s never been late I should have known that it’s never been late I should have known that it’s never been late I should have known that it’s never been late And I’ve come to the conclusion My heart feels like it’s split between reason and impulse And I’ve been covered from all the benefits of this ratio Like the shadows from the light of sun It pisses me off Every time it slides so unbelievably heavily on the scenery You should have seen it, it was round the corner It’s just a waste of your precious time I’ll always be fine As I know that it’s never been late As long as I know that it’s never been late As I know that it’s never been late Hey hey hey And you told me I’m a miserable piece of plastic Like you are And I’ve come to the conclusion My heart feels like it’s split between reason and impulse And I’ve been covered from all the benefits of this ratio Like the shadows from the light of sun

Wet Dreams 04:26
‘Cause I just ran out of dreams As you kissed me on the cheek And I just don’t want to ease your way in ‘Cause I just ran out of dreams As he showed you he’s the king Of all your untold affection fears ‘Cause I just ran out of dreams ‘Cause I just ran out of dreams As I noticed you want to be The TV show character you’ve seen It’s better a night on screen than a real thing Hey, are you the police? Which is ok as long as you know what you’re doing I’m just saying he’s probably not the guy for you But still, I guess it’s what you want Dreams, dreams ‘Cause I just ran out of dreams As I noticed you want to be The TV show character you’ve seen It’s better a night on screen than a real thing It’s better a night on screen than a real thing

Purple Drank 02:46

about

In the early stage of the project, back in summer 2019 Martini Police used a 4-track Tascam cassette recorder in their basement to make some live demos. The recondings yielded four songs with a lo-fi sound and a garage attitude, that came out on The Basement Tapes EP in May 2020.
