  • Limited edition 7" EP on black vinyl
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Following the "one-man show" of 2021 debut LP Hits To Spare, Scottish Beat sensation The Poppermost re-emerge in full band form with a quartet of numbers recorded exclusively for Disques Rogue/Rogue Records (France).

    The Poppermost present a swinging slab of Joe Kane (Dr. Cosmo's Tape Lab, The Owsley Sunshine) penned and produced nuggets recorded live in one single day in Glasgow's Fabbest garden shed. The group dynamically delivers with the foolproof sounds of Rickenbacker, Hofner, Gretsch, and Ludwig instruments.

    From the piano/harp R n B-eat of lead track "Carry On Swinging" (via a pair of Merseypop boppers) to the dark harmony-jangle of wild card "A Talent for Loving", this is a new phase Poppermost release.

Woah oh I'm feeling kinda crazy, I'm so listless, restless and lazy So until I'm winning I'll just Carry on swinging my friend You had me working for you But it just wasn't working for me We got in one little fight And now your mommas getting scared She says that I'm no good for you My luck may be minging But I’ll soon be winning So I’ll carry on swinging my friend

I can't afford to buy a block of cheese If I please This financial climate's got me in a squeeze, oh b' jeez! It's a cost of living crisis A super slippy slope Can't even scrape enough to buy a rope Can't spend another penny  on the electricity The gas man's really got it in for me It's plain to see It's a cost of living crisis And I'm going out me head If it gets worse then I'd be better dead Don't think I can handle  all the stress I confess It feels like everything is such a mess More or less In a cost of living crisis They'll try to screw you down Please pull me out before I start to drown Oh no, I'm poor and getting poorer Teabags, milk and sugar Peasant in a land of plenty And I just can't take no more I can't afford to make a cup of tea Woe is me I'm pumped by income tax and VAT I decree It's a cost of living crisis And that's just what you get If you think it's bad you ain't seen nothing yet

I can't seem to sleep at night Turn and toss till morning light I can't get you off my mind I know you know I know Friends they ask me how I feel I can barely touch my meal I'm just hungry for your kiss I know you know I know They may say that I've gone soft for you What in heaven do they know I can be a better man If you can give me time to grow It's a game of give and take Leave me some for pitys sake Don't just leave me standing here I know you know I know  They may say that I've gone soft for you What in heaven do they know I can be a better man If you can give me time to grow I've can't seem to sleep at night Turn and toss till morning light I can't get you off my mind I know you know I know I know you know I know I think I know you know I know it's true

I see you standing there Curled up toes, curlers in hair No words forgiven, no You can't forget what you don't know Need to see you wanna be you In the here and now Unforgiving  Is this living Can you show me how You've got a talent for loving me Don't stop or I'm done for You've got a talent for loving me girl It's elementary dear The way you twist the tallest tale I'm getting cold out here I wait to intercept the mail Things aren't as dark as they seem Together we're better So hold on to that dream Get out of the shadows Come into the light Emerge in the sunlight  From the cruel endless night
