TAKAPUNA WIVES CLUB
Now this could have been about many suburbs in Auckland. Takapuna just had a nice ring to it. For those people that we personally know in Takapuna, don't be offended if you don't think this song is about you (but it it relates, yes you've been part of the 'observation').
Rich-set kids raised by Stepford parents in a world that is far from most people's reality, reinforced by their neighbours and social groups. When you are 'in' you are in, until you're not of course.

LYRICS
Bella's got a new man, Prada and a fake tan
Blonde locks, botox, boob lift, detox
She almost has it all
Networks, cocaine, shopping with his millions
PT, liquid lunch, cleansing, brazilians
She seems so happy, darling
Credit card comes at a cost
Valium numbs the freedom lost
Trouble in the Takapuna Wives Club
Trouble in the Takapuna Wives Club
Club rules, tight lips, know your place, watch your hips
There's a script, no social slips
Only as good as your game
Don't ask, don't nag, spend it up, don't sag
Gotta keep on top to be a WAG
There's plenty waiting in line
Credit card comes at a cost
Valium numbs the freedom lost
Trouble in the Takapuna Wives Club
Trouble in the Takapuna Wives Club
People start talking, you'll find yourself walking
Social outcast, nothing to say
Minihaha it ain't that funny
When the tide comes in and washes you away
Credit card comes at a cost
Valium numbs the freedom lost
Trouble in the Takapuna Wives Club
Trouble in the Takapuna Wives Club
Remember you were free, money was your own
Friends you had were real, not a Stepford clone
Come now dry your eyes, reclaim your sense of self
Happiness is more than measured by your wealth
Trouble in the Takapuna Wives Club
Trouble in the Takapuna Wives Club
Don't know what it takes to make her happy
Too damn sad to leave her sugar daddy
Rich girl, poor choice, lost her own voice
Sold her soul to the Takapuna Wives Club

SHOWTIME
You can have the life you've always dreamed of. You don't even have to leave the sofa. Without taking any chances or calculated risks, you can stream it with the help of your remote. Sit back. Be a boring f*cker and consume. Yep, it's SHOWTIME folks.
Released 26 March 2016
LYRICS
Can't stand the dullness of your day? (stay tuned)
The living room is for the living (join us at 7)
In the comfort of your favourite chair
You'll have sex and lies and drugs and thrills
Action, shock and dodgy deals
Come on and join the show
Come on the join the show
Don't risk the world outside your door (later tonight)
We'll give you everything and more (coming up next)
No need to chase a dream, to forge ahead, to make a scene
We'll give you love and hope and gore
Switch off your mind, we'll fill it for you
Come on and join the show
Come on the join the show (stay tuned)

PERFECT
Nobody is perfect. We don't live in a perfect world. Yet, something intrinsically macabre in the human psyche strives to be just that. We rejoice in imperfections of the seamlessly faultless and darn right encourage the unmasking.

LYRICS
Roll up, roll up, it's the social fair
Count up the trophies, quif that hair
Leave out the spooks and the spivs don't care
Lay out your stall for the players there
Oh he's such a perfect boy
Oh she's such a perfect girl (whatever)
Daddy's so proud and mummy's got her hair done
Standing to attention for some weekend fun
Nameless, shameless, living in a fantasy
Naughty little lives in a model little family
Oh he's such a perfect boy
Oh she's such a perfect girl (whatever)
Look at your reflection, who do you think you see?
One plus one is sometimes free
Find a little courage to swing from the rafters
Leave all the crowd for happy ever-afters
Oh he's such a perfect boy
Oh she's such a perfect girl
Oh he's such a perfect boy
Oh she's such a perfect girl (whatever)

YOUR BUBBLE
Auckland house prices are going nuts while families living in cars increase at the same alarming rate. The world is self imploding, we're on the brink of WW3. But as long as the All Blacks are winning and you've made a killing on your property, you are safe and warm inside your bubble. Bless you New Zealand. Lay low and stay oblivious. Stick to your gossip magazines and reality shows. Ignore world events. Yup, that's the attitude. Not.
Released 28 November 2015
LYRICS
Front page outrage
Maddy's fallen off the stage
Kate's a little naughty with her no shows (oh dear)
WAGs are fighting on the beaches
All the boys observe their features
Just a little titalation for the paparazi lens
It's ok there is no trouble
Safe and warm inside your bubble
But how much is your house worth and did you see the game?
The world is always changing but you just stay the same
Greenpeace, climbing trees
Stamping feet, minorities
Just a little something to see you through the weekend?
Fighting for your birth right
Drinking on a boys night
It's all about priorities, crossing I's and dotting T's
It's ok there is no trouble
Safe and warm inside your bubble
But how much is your house worth and did you see the game?
The world is always changing but you just stay the same
Putin's playing war games
Corban's got his PR pains
Merkel's looking rattled by a kickback in the Bundestag
Dozen dangerous hot spots
Joining all the crazy dots
Did you see the bombers leave and did you count them back again?
It's okay there is no trouble
Safe and warm inside your bubble
But how much is your house worth and did you see the game?
The world is always changing but you just stay the same
You just stay the same
You just stay the same
