want to stay home so you’re always late
wait to put on that suit you hate
love your kids gonna put them first
getting better by getting worse
you don’t know the way
but you know how to wait
still the same
always changing
still the same when we’re always changing
give out smiles so I can make more tips
buy some time to figure out my shit
love my friends won’t leave them in the lurch
getting better by getting worse
I don’t know the way
but I know how to wait
still the same
always changing
still the same when we’re always changing
my hand in your hand
your hand in my hand
we don’t know the way
but we know how to wait

severance

we never really go home
6 miles on either side of the grand river
stolen land on either side of the grand river
and that was my home
but it was never really my home
never really mine - never really my home
but its in my bones
farmers in the city work in factories
farmers in the city worked in factories
go to church on sunday
i asked my dad what his work had been
i asked my dad how his work had been
big factories eat themselves
big unions eat themselves too
big fish move production south
we never lost a house
i never lost a house
from careers to contracts
severance! severance!
i got a chorus
severance! severance!
it goes ‘nah nah nah nah/ nah nah nah”
severance! severance!
I cut my hands so i can feel
i cut my eyes so I can see
there is no home to go home to
no one’s talking about a living wage
this city stinks
but it smells like paychecks, it smells like jobs
now we’re waiting for the smell to come back
the smell of oil, the smell of tires, the smell of malt
the smell of oil, the smell of tires, the smell of malt
subdivided
subdivided
6 miles on either side….
a gridlock maze of model homes
and that was not my home
but shit, that was someone’s home
and it was never really their home
sold, foreclosed
severance! severance!
i got a chorus
severance! severance!
it goes ‘nah nah nah nah/ nah nah nah”
severance! severance!
I cut my hands so i can feel
i cut my eyes so I can see
tell me, what home are we making?

I’m so greedy
need to keep it all for me
my clothes, my shoes, my land, my man
need to keep it all for me
I’m so greedy
need to keep it all for me
my car, my books, my heart, my hands
need to keep it all for me
need to need, to be good
need to get, to be good
need to have, to be good
and i can’t get, can’t get enough
and i can’t get no satisfaction
and can’t get, can’t get enough
……
all I am
we’re all going to go for a walk
we’re all going to go for a walk
like this is last year
like this is every year
we’re all going to go for a walk

loosestrife Montréal, Québec
Loosestrife is about being vulnerable and noisey, generous and queer. Claire Lyke (drums, vocals) and Shaun Weadick (guitar, vocals) make visceral punk rock. We flirt with pop music and have a crush on post-hardcore. In our live shows we want the audience to dance and we make up dances for you as well. We want to make power, not take it or guard it but build it up all together, in solidarity. ... more
If you like loosestrife, you may also like:
supported by 4 fans who also own “getting better getting worse”
Waterline is worth the price of admission alone. Go get the back catalogue, future you will be eternally grateful. This is the type of music you thought wasn't made anymore or couldn't sound like this.
