lyrics
What made you think you would get away with it
How did you think I would never know
You must have thought I was blind and stupid
You see I was thinking the same of you
I kinda thought I was being generous
I should have taken the soonest possible out
Then you convinced me that this is usual
I gave you the benefit of the doubt
So why are you running around with your hands over your eyes
Wondering while this happens to you why it still comes as a surprise
How did you think you would get away with it
How did you think I would never see through you
You must have waited till I got used to you
You see I was waiting to see the truth
So why are you running around with your hands over your eyes
With some smile like you know what it's about but when it comes you still don't recognise that
Oh no, it's coming to an end
For you, oh how sad my friend
Oh no, it seems your luck has changed
How strange
I kinda thought you were being humorous
I never knew someone could be so damn mean
You must have thought I was blind and stupid
And you did a fine job of convincing me
But oh no, it's coming to an end
For you, oh how sad my friend
Oh no, it seems your luck has changed
Or had you had that arranged
Oh no, it's coming to and end
Which part of that don't you understand
Oh no, it seems your luck has changed
How strange
How did you think I would never know
You must have thought I was blind and stupid
You see I was thinking the same of you
I kinda thought I was being generous
I should have taken the soonest possible out
Then you convinced me that this is usual
I gave you the benefit of the doubt
So why are you running around with your hands over your eyes
Wondering while this happens to you why it still comes as a surprise
How did you think you would get away with it
How did you think I would never see through you
You must have waited till I got used to you
You see I was waiting to see the truth
So why are you running around with your hands over your eyes
With some smile like you know what it's about but when it comes you still don't recognise that
Oh no, it's coming to an end
For you, oh how sad my friend
Oh no, it seems your luck has changed
How strange
I kinda thought you were being humorous
I never knew someone could be so damn mean
You must have thought I was blind and stupid
And you did a fine job of convincing me
But oh no, it's coming to an end
For you, oh how sad my friend
Oh no, it seems your luck has changed
Or had you had that arranged
Oh no, it's coming to and end
Which part of that don't you understand
Oh no, it seems your luck has changed
How strange

Immensely enjoyable. On the Shoegazer spectrum, Lowtide's song structures are an acknowledgement to the great Slowdive, using the feedback to create shimmering atmospheres. Beautiful and timeless.

Oh, how I miss them. This is a great way to get everything all together. So completely brilliant. Sex in the Chillzone sounds like the Talking Heads if they had signed to Ze Records.

The Melbourne artist puts a dystopian spin on bedroom pop tradition, his fervent lyrics undergirded by glitchy production and prog twists.

No Weapon But Love
by Icecream Handssupported by 5 fans who also own “Blind and Stupid”
Such a joyful collection of songs. Nothing like quintessential Melbourne alternative rock to lift the spirits. Listening during yet another lockdown transports me to a band room in my favourite pub. Thanks for the music lads- looking forward to seeing you for real when we get outta here.
