The Milk

by Fish Tank

supported by

Alberto Bellio Fish Tank brought me to Ed the Dog who brought me back here.
Fish Tank have been one of the best math rock / pop band to ever exist, second only to Tubelord.
Henry EP is a genre-defining album. Lily EP is the pop side of the Henry feeling. The Milk is just the next step, I love this version.
Fish Thank.

Callum Got hooked via the live version on YouTube a few years ago before this was properly released in 2020. Mathy indie rock at its best.

lyrics

I drop the milk right in front of your desk
But it didn’t crack
It only dented the plastic
I’m crushed
‘Cause it’s so pedantic
I could curl up in a ball of embarrassment
I’m ready for a break
I could snap in super 8
I can feel it on my tongue
The sentimental energy numb
The bag ruptured and I can feel the pain on my breath
Dropped the milk but the nerves still haven't gone yet

We’re lost
I know
I’m too cut off
We’re bombs
But I float and my fuse is too long

I grab the concept off the floor from your eyes and I wish I’d picked the self service line
I quiver at the inevitability of another guess
‘cause you could laugh it up and talk about me with your friends
I’m ready for a break
I could snap in super 8
I can feel it on my tongue
The sentimental energy numb
The bag ruptured and I can feel the pain on my breath
Dropped the milk
But the nerves still haven't gone yet

We’re lost
I know
I’m too cut off
We’re bombs
But I float
‘Cause my fuse is too long

You're loss
I guess
You're just so shut off
We're bombs
But I float and my fuse is too long
my fuse is too long

I drop the milk right in front of your desk
But it didn’t crack
It only dented the plastic
I’m crushed
‘Cause it’s so pedantic
I could curl up in a ball of embarrassment
I’m ready for a break
I could snap in super 8
I can feel it on my tongue
The sentimental energy numb
The bag ruptured and I can feel the pain on my breath
Dropped the milk but the nerves still haven't gone yet
Oh no they haven’t gone yet

We’re lost
I know
I’m too cut off
We’re bombs
But I float
‘Cause my fuse is too long

You're loss
I guess
You're just so shut off
We're bombs
But I float and my fuse is too long

We’re lost and I’m scared
I don’t know what’s going on
In my head but my heart knows exactly what’s wrong
My fuse is too long
