So, all that blasting away with your mesaboogie and now you have a persistent high pitched whine in your ears and it won't go away and its driving you mad and you can't sleep. And you didn't get a record deal either, which might have seemed like fair compensation for spending tons of cash on messing your hearing up. Never mind. There is a nice jazzy bit at the end so you'll be like, yeah this cat is the snitz, but it doesn't last long. This song took a while to make so hopefully it balances out with the last one, and £0.60 will seem like good value.

In quiet spaces, quiet places

So you saw a consultant and he did say
It never goes, it's hear to stay 
Avoid loud noise as you get old
Now get to fuck 'cos you've been told
Get out 
There is no cure
