Post-Progressive Anthem

Is there anybody in the world who can hear the word “progressive” without puking?

“We are kinda sorta maybe for some stuff that Republicans kinda sorta maybe aren’t for!”

“We’re Progressives!”

No, we aren’t! We’re DICKHEADS!

Got on the train from Cambridgeshire

Moved down to an East London flat

Got a moustache and a low cut vest

Some purple leggings

and a sailor tat

Just one gear on my fixie bike

got a plus one here for my gig tonight

I play synth…

We all play synth

20-20 vision just a pair of empty frames

Dressing like a nerd although i never got the grades

I remember when the kids at school would call me names

Now were taking over their estates

woah ho

(chorus)

I love my life as a dickhead

All my friends are dickheads too

come with me lets be dickheads

(havent you heard?)

being a dickhead’s cool

being a dickhead’s cool

being a dickhead’s cool

being a dickhead’s cool cool cooooool

Polaroid app on my iphone

taking pictures on London Fields

up on the blog so everyone knows

were having new age fun, with a vintage feel

coolest kids at a warehouse rave

exclusive list look theres my name

I got in…

You couldn’t get in

never bought a pack of fags i only roll my own

plugging in my laptop at the starbucks down the road

say i work in media im really on the dole

im the coolest guy you’ll ever know

woah ho

(chorus)

I love my life as a dickhead

All my friends are dickheads too

come with me lets be dickheads

(havent you heard?)

being a dickhead’s cool

being a dickhead’s cool

being a dickhead’s cool

being a dickhead’s cool cool cooooool

Loafers with no socks

Electropop meets southern hip hop

Indeterminate sexual preference

Something retro on my necklace
