John Grant - It's A Bitch (Lyric Video)

John Grant's album "The Art Of The Lie" will be released 14th June 2024 via Bella Union: johngrant.ffm.to/theartofthelie
Lyrics:
I was examining the walls of my encephalon
Dreaming of hot heshers playing Robotron
I was
Luxuriating on the davenport
Flagillating myself like it was
Some kind of sport
Well that‘s a bitch
Yeah baby that‘s a bitch
Come on sugar that‘s a bitch
Come on baby that‘s a bitch
I was deep within the bowels of the establishment
Wondering how I‘m ever gonna pay the rent
I was
Boning UP on my Icelandic declensions
When the landlord rang me up and said you
Don‘t get no extentions that‘s a bitch
Come on baby, that‘s a bitch
Come on suga that‘s a bitch
Come on baby that‘s a bitch
I am feeling an unmistakable cacoethes
For some fellowship with some sort of less
Perceptive species
I am feeling an itch in my medulla oblongata
Yeah, it happens a lot
The doctor says I gotta lotta ´magination
That could lead to extended bouts of frustration
I‘m losing patience
It‘s a classic demonstration
That it‘s a bitch
Bom bom, bom bom, etc.
I was rehearsing my phillipic
It‘s going to be terrific
They will get a dressing down
That‘ll be apocalyptic
I was wondrin if I should begin
To decathect
´Cause I am feeling too attached
I want to disconnect
I was availing myself
Of some old school neuroses
When a fella on the radio
Said „Bella Lugosi‘s Dead“
Oooooooooo, baby that‘s a bitch
That‘s a bitch, that‘s a bitch
That‘s a stone-cold bitch
That‘s a bitch, that‘s a bitch
That‘s a stone-cold bitch
That‘s a bitch, that‘s a bitch
That‘s a stone-cold bitch
That‘s a bitch, that‘s a bitch
That‘s a stone-cold bitch
Huh, huh, huh
Hah, Hah, Hah

Super Beck-like, which is sick af. Very you. Love it. As usual, it speaks disconcertingly to my the pit of my soul.

[@nothere413]

New John Grant, hell yeah.

[@euchiron]

You paint the best mental images with your lyrics. Mad respect for the sheer number of times you had me pausing to look up words 😸

[@chrismoloko]

Omg relatable comment of the day

[@barnaclefelching4079]

I was already having a JG/SO'C day, the day has been heavenly, now I hear this and I'm floating, which is positive

[@spnhm34]

Don't exactly know what to make of this, but I know I want to listen again ❤

[@AuntiaSylvia]

Can wait to blast this album alone in my car!

[@adifferentsetofjawsz]

[@jamiehanley3419]

All orchestra hits, all the time. 😯😯😯😁😁😁👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@lukemackinnon5894]

Absolute banger! Dutty groove, soundtrack of the Spring so far 😍🙏🎶

[@kamil.maciej]

Love new track ♥

[@user-jg9zq9fx7p]

How does it manage to sound both old and futuristic at the same time?

[@paulie6446]

The guy on the radio was Pete Murphy ✌️

[@arorasif]

I am in love with this new song! Such a banger and your lyrics are so original and unique as always. Saw someone mentioning it’s giving Beck vibes and I totally second that! 😻

[@EverAppl14]

Strong Peter Gabriel vibes, which can only be done by an artist who's just as singular.

[@iainwhite3420]

Absolutely brilliant! Shoutout to Robotron (2097). Learned two new words too (philippic and decathect). Can't wait for the new album!

[@spnhm34]

Congratulations on knowing encephalon

[@oliviermoreau6224]

C'est bon John!!!!!!

[@Tomy_Yon]

Sweet wink at early Peter Gabriel... Impressive ❤

[@Kiki-ce7ty]

❤❤❤

[@Hmm...Whats-Their-Name]

Literally just had the love of my life leave me two days ago because he fell out of love with me. Your word choice for decathect is wild.

[@nakatakafka]

I stopped buying his records after the third one. Too much electronic shit.

[@FLATEARTHPANDA88]

Very different and refreshing….
