EVERYDAY, SOMETIMES It's been sometime since I've been this way | And all those platitudes don't cut no sway | Everyday, sometimes | It's been sometime in the planning stage | I take an artisan's pride in my fall from grace | The balustrade slips away | There's a sneer behind the veil

SAY WHAT YOU WANT Say what you want the world looks better from down here | An upskirt on the human race | Has a little more charm than face-to-face | Say what you want the world smells better from down here | The shit flowing in these gutters south | Don't reek like the shit that spills from your mouth
4.
DAZZLED IN THE SPOTLIGHT I love the way she walks | I love the way she talks | I love the way she looks through me | There's no hint of surprise | In those k-hole eyes | In my personal space out of reach | I'm losing sensation | Got a bad motivation | I'm in the starring role alright | There's baited breath in the stalls | But I'll earn their applause | Up to the dress circle tonight | I'm dazzled in the spotlight | My heart's beating black | Just like a panic attack | I got a reptile coiled in my brain | I got feline eyes | I'm trying hard to disguise | But my spleen worn proud on my sleeve
5.
CLIP JOINT SMILE Kohl black hair, bile green eyes | Botox visage that registers no surprise | Whoever said sin was ugly must have been blind | I'm hooked on the sedative red of your clip joint smile | Discount store scent on terracotta skin | As deep as it goes it's all I'm interested in | Well, beauty fades but not under a neon glow | The price of admission is more than you'll ever know

TARNISH ON YOUR HALO Is it a trick of the light or did I just not see? | You seem to have lost your burnished sheen | I can see the tarnish on your halo | Tarnish on your halo | But then, in the sodium haze, worn against the night | Despite it all it's still shining bright
8.
... AND THE RECORD PLAYS ON So another day begins | In the dirty skin you're living in | Light another cigarette | Another night to forget | Say so long, smiling sweet | Grab your coat and hit the street | Got a cute arse for collateral | Got a soundtrack in bad rock & roll | Need someone when the wine runs dry | Who don't understand but don't ask why | Returning all the smiles you fake | Some kind of home till morning breaks | They're talking about you now you're gone | And the record plays on
9.
SCHADENFREUDE I woke up between crisp white sheets with a dirty conscience | It took me a while to remember where I was | The motif on the cup on the night stand put me straight | Drawing back the curtains I looked out across the city | The nipple slip of a sallow sun peeped out from behind an unfamiliar skyline | It was dusk - I'd slept all day | Leaning out the hotel window I could see a hundred reality tunnels intersecting in the evening twilight | Psychic cave-ins outside the fast food franchises and the private clubs | Ideological escape artists being dragged screaming from the dogma dirt of forbidden perimeters | Early bird hookers offering their entres to the late workers | The suburbs a long way away for both of them | Puritans of every hue and shade hating what they become the most | The coin flips and we all take our bets | Everyone's got their price | What's yours? | Oh, the bed mates we choose to stop ourselves from dreaming | The sickly melodies we sing to drown out the screaming

about

Exit Lounge UK

EXIT LOUNGE started life as the occasional vanity project of STEVE MALONEY.

He released two albums under the name - 'Theriac' in 2011 and 'City Bottom Blues' in 2012.

In 2023 the shutters went up on the dingy old establishment, with guitarist BART PETTMAN, bassist/vocalist FREDERIC HIEBLER, and drummer ED THOMPSON coming on board.
