about
"I tried to use the verses of ‘Talk Shows’ as a retrospective warning to myself. For anytime I feel like spending time with people who aren’t good for me, anytime I feel like drinking is my only option, anytime I suffer body dysmorphia or anytime I feel like sharing my problems with the wrong people."
"Aimee brought the verses to life in a really constructive way thanks to her unique phrasing and it’s quickly become a favourite of ours to play live. I countered the verses with a chorus about the banality of freeview television, the mind numbing monotony of Saturday night tv shows and dying format of talk show hosts, and tried to comment on the gradual transition away from conventional formats like television which we’ve had forever, to the ways we interact with media now. The song was brought together by the entire band as the process of writing becomes more a collaborative effort before we reach the studio!"

lyrics
Your money problems, they never stop
So turn to drinking, drink makes you fun!
When you’re not drinking, you’re boring
When I’m not drinking, I’m hardly sleeping
You’ve got a problem? Don’t come to us
The phone line’s dead, your funding got cut
you need attention, constant affection
It’s not your fault, you picked bad friends son
I’m tired of the news, I’m tired of repeats
I’m tired of you, you said you’re tired of me
The cold calls, the pay screens
The stations, the stations
I’m tired of you, you said you’re tired of me
I’m tired of the news, I’m tired of repeats
The talk shows, and ‘faces’
The stations, the stations
You feel self conscious? Well that’s too bad
You look in the mirror, and it tears you up
Just do the gig son, Just do the admin
Sing up louder with more interaction
Your money problems, they never stop
You speak so loud, I can't hear the song
You’re overthinking, now that’s enough
A load of talk, a load of nothing
I’m tired of the news, I’m tired of repeats
I’m tired of you, you said you’re tired of me
The cold calls, the pay screens
The stations, is it the stations?
I’m tired of you, you said you’re tired of me
I’m tired of the news, I’m tired of repeats
The talk shows, and ‘faces’
The stations, the stations
The talk shows, the dead air
The stations, the stations
So turn to drinking, drink makes you fun!
When you’re not drinking, you’re boring
When I’m not drinking, I’m hardly sleeping
You’ve got a problem? Don’t come to us
The phone line’s dead, your funding got cut
you need attention, constant affection
It’s not your fault, you picked bad friends son
I’m tired of the news, I’m tired of repeats
I’m tired of you, you said you’re tired of me
The cold calls, the pay screens
The stations, the stations
I’m tired of you, you said you’re tired of me
I’m tired of the news, I’m tired of repeats
The talk shows, and ‘faces’
The stations, the stations
You feel self conscious? Well that’s too bad
You look in the mirror, and it tears you up
Just do the gig son, Just do the admin
Sing up louder with more interaction
Your money problems, they never stop
You speak so loud, I can't hear the song
You’re overthinking, now that’s enough
A load of talk, a load of nothing
I’m tired of the news, I’m tired of repeats
I’m tired of you, you said you’re tired of me
The cold calls, the pay screens
The stations, is it the stations?
I’m tired of you, you said you’re tired of me
I’m tired of the news, I’m tired of repeats
The talk shows, and ‘faces’
The stations, the stations
The talk shows, the dead air
The stations, the stations
