Name: Heavy Baby
Duration: P00H03M13S
Description: Depending on what you fancy, Heavy Baby is written either from the perspective of an exasperated manager of talent, dealing with a magnetic but chaotic star seemingly doing everything possible to make life an interesting nightmare, or of the parent of a whirlwind kid. One take may be more grounded in our reality than the other. A falsetto stiletto, the blade in a Cornetto.

lyrics

I don’t know how you got like this
I don’t know how you kick so hard
The wreckage of Vesuvius
Would play out on the undercard
There’s weird in your eyes
They’re a different size
And I don’t know what to do about the advertisers
Heavy baby, heavy baby ooh
I build them up, you knock ‘em down (such a heavy)
Heavy baby, heavy baby ooh
Each and every chromosome
Is taken to the danger zone
The chaos irreplaceable
Crashing through the monotone
There’s weird in your eyes
They’re a different size
And I don’t know what to do about the advertisers
Heavy baby, heavy baby ooh
I build them up, you knock ‘em down (such a heavy)
Heavy baby, heavy baby ooh
Yeah there’s weird in your eyes
They’re a different size
And I don’t know what to do about the advertisers
Heavy baby, heavy baby ooh
I build them up, you knock em down (such a heavy)
Heavy baby, heavy baby ooh
