Artist picture
Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Lyrics
As I looked over the wilderness Of what once was Found I couldn't finish my sentences Because Then I heard the keening of a solitary songbird A stabbing sound With that we learned That we weren't the only worms around Such luxury as this we never Imagined in our youth Would we have taken the same path Had we known the truth Well who the heck says this is excess? Who marked the scale? The desert generation Bred to fail We should have had hover cars by now And lives of untroubled leisure Robots to cater to Our every whim and pleasure We put our faith in the con that was fusion Protected the illusion A destruction of our own choosing But hey, we made money Bought all this stuff Now I can't afford the energy A victim of my own scam Poor me But affordable is just Another word for valueless And the most precious things we had Are lost to us We should have had hover cars by now And lives of untroubled leisure Robots to cater to Our every whim and pleasure We put our faith in the con that was fusion Protected the illusion A destruction of our own choosing But hey, we made money It's OK, cos we made money

Love the bouncing rhythm and intensity in this song! Great guitars and super production. Really thoughtful lyrics too. We should have had the good stuff now, not the after effects of year long abuse..
