about
Too often we find ourselves "sick" of the way another puts their own vanity ahead of everything and everyone else. In this case, the protagonist is "sick of playing all my cards for you." Built upon a propulsive rhythm, the music manages to evoke a certain resigned sadness and regret that mirrors the song's central theme, which is expertly juxtaposed with its defiant chorus.
From the forthcoming album "Inappropriate Love Songs", set for release on March 5, 2021
lyrics
Well I should have known it right from the start,
From the very first time that I met your mom
That nothing changes from generation
to generation right down to your pretty bob
Took something for nothing that was all that I could give you
All I had left to give
Already gave away
Well something you shoulda told me
When I took you to that cocktail party
With all of my friends
That you were not there to impress me
You were only decked out for them
But you looked so fine
You were dressed to the nines
You were all decked out
In your black silk party dress
Oh, black silk party dress
And I'm, sick, of working this hard
And I'm, tired, of playing all my cards, for you
Well that was so many years ago
Long before I had the courage to say
Well I gave all that I had to give
Threw it away
But I tried, I tried
That I've one thing left to say
Oh, I've one thing left to say
And I'm, sick, of working this hard
And I'm, tired, of playing all my cards, for you
Oh, sick of playing all my cards
Whoa, sick of working this hard for you
Oh, I'm sick of playing all my cards for you
Whoa

Formed out of a mutual love of late 70’s and early 80’s post-punk, and 80’s alternative and jangle pop, the "O5" distill
their influences into a sound that is reverent of the past, but uniquely their own.
Powered by music that alternately chimes, swirls, chugs, and soars, the lyrics eloquently capture the drama, hijinks, joys and frustrations of young adulthood,...more
