An observational song with an infectious groove and a great guitar sound. The tone manages to be bitter, dark, disturbing, and tongue-in-cheek all at once.

Alternative post-punk bitch pop!
Girl-fronted post-punk bitch pop from Exeter, Devon, UK. A 4-track EP is available to buy (clips can be heard on the band's website: www.johari.co.uk), and the band are planning to record a new three-track EP in the Spring. They are currently preparing to do some live recording (5 tracks) at the end of Feb (The Yurt Sessions). Great live act! Very entertaining...

Story behind the song
Inspired by the endless stream of astounding "true life" stories found in tat mags such as Chat/Take A Break, and the UK's gutter press.
Lyrics
Didn’t I have exclusive rights over that word, “goodbye”? What gave you the right to throw it back in my face? The ground shook and my head exploded That was the bitterest pill I ever had to swallow down But I’ve found...sweet revenge Sucked a python’s venom, spat it in your face Bedded your best friend in leather boots and lace No, you’re never gonna win that game you started Your violating ways will come back to you three-fold You shouldn’t mess with what you don’t understand The wise woman told me that I'd blessed be Sweet revenge Bedded your solicitor, washed your clothes in Vim Out drinking with your brother, now I’ll go down on him I just want to make you understand all the anger, the hurt and all of the pain The way I shake, the way I bite my hand, just why it seems I’ve gone insane Humiliation is my middle name, if you want a competition I can play that game You see I’ve seen it all before, and I know how to settle a score Didn’t I have exclusive rights over that word, “goodbye”? What gave you the right to throw it back in my face? Sweet revenge Burnt all your CDs, smashed up your guitar Did I ever get to tell you what a waste of space you are?
