Lyrics:
I used to sort of be ashamed to be myself,
I used to sort of try and hide and try and act like someone else,
I used to sit alone and cry sometimes and curse my own reflection, how sad,
Hearing laughter through the walls, it can’t all be that bad,
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder,
When we first met it felt like we’d been friends for so much longer.
You were hanging at the snooker club and you were acting kind of hyper,
You said you’d met the ghosts of Maya Angelou and Rowdy Roddy Piper,
It’s like a cloud was hanging over me until the day we texted for the first time,
And the world just got a little brighter.

Video by Nathan SG. This is a silly & frankly quite rubbish video but when you are a band trapped within surveillance capitalism's endless hunger for content trying to promote a tour sometimes things will be a silly & frankly quite rubbish.

Heavy Blink 182 vibes during the chorus lol. I find my self thinking of "first date" every time.

[@peterleschinski9758]

Does anyone have any idea why this song is called Wrestlemania VIII? Beyond mentioning Roddy Piper in the lyrics of course. Hot Rod did wrestle Bret Hart for the intercontinental title at Wrestlemania 8 but it’s not referenced directly in the lyrics.

[@TheBulldog1909]

The band like wrestling so I’m assuming they just saw a cool chance too incorporate wrestling into a song title lol, could be wrong

[@dwade767]
