I bought Kate Nash’s Made of Bricks in 2007 when it was riding a wave of critical hype. I listened to it once, was thoroughly unimpressed, then shelved it, never to hear it again.
Until today, when the charmingly titled ‘Dickhead’ popped up as today’s Random iTunes selection.
Have the ensuing seven years changed my mind about the merits of Ms. Nash?
No, this still sucks.
Why’re you being a dickhead for
Stop being a dickhead
Why’re you being a dickhead for
You’re just fucking up situations
Shiny floor, slippery feet
Lights are dim, my eyes can’t meet
The reflection that turns my images
Upside down so I can see
Think you know everything
You really don’t know nothing
I wish that you were more intelligent
So you could see that what you are doing is
So shitty, to me
Thirty five
People couldn’t count
On two hands the amount of times you made me stop
Stop and think why are you being such a dickhead for
Stop being a dickhead
Why’re you being a dickhead for
You’re just fucking up situations
[Hook]
Stop, now don’t show
Just have a think before you
Will you, stop, now don’t show
Just have a think before you
Will you stop, no don’t show
Just have a think before you
Will you stop, don’t show
Will you just have a think before you
My brain and my bones don’t want to take this anymore
No my brain and my bones don’t want to take this anymore
No my brain and my bones don’t want to take with this anymore
No my brain and my bones don’t want to take this anymore, so
[Hook x2]
Well, after weeks of crappy DC vacation fillers, this is frankly an improvement.
