From one of the most bizarrely spectacular albums I heard this year, Christmas 1995. Eugene and co absolutely nail this glorious alt-pop ditty. This is the kind of artist that will have you wanting to explore a D.I.Y style of making music yourself.
lyrics
I only see them in the big strobe,
Bleaching the nightclubs to find,
the missionary's merked in uncertain terms,
but evade them like ghosts upon return.
I'm hating on girls,
cause they're hating on me,
so I'm hating on girls,
I'm hating on girls.
So I just hang out with the boys,
I just hang out with the boys.
In every tear there is a treasure,
Harboured beside me like a death, the lanterns of,
Jealousy rise, I tell big lies
I thought I had found it in Budapest.
I'm hating on girls,
cause they're hating on me,
so I'm hating on girls,
I'm hating on girls.
so I just hang out with the boys,
I just hang out with the boys.
It's a monumental task
For someone like me to ask
The world you want is flat
Why do you operate like that
I'm hating on girls...
