about

A driving powerful rhythm section, accompanied by melodic distorted guitar', is what best describes Elephant Memoirs. Their unique raw sound has saw them likened to bands such as Placebo, BRMC and Drenge. Regular local/national/worldwide radio play has helped them reach a wider audience, as they continue to grow.

lyrics

Always with a whimper in a pleasant tone
I take life by the scruff of the neck and hope it lets go

Is mug stamped all over me?
Did the middle road invest in me?

But when fate calls for me with a parting word not a kick start
Then I’ll sink my teeth into its heart
Then with its dirty blood all over me like the evidence of that noble art
I make my excuses and depart.

Straight lines lead me too and from my front gate
Cos straight lines never tend to want to deviate

I love a square peg in a square hole
And an ordnance survey map to find my soul

But when fate calls for me with a parting word not a kick start
Then I’ll sink my teeth into its heart
Then with its dirty blood all over me like the evidence of that noble art
I make my excuses and depart.

I’ve been, I’ve been feeling
Cos I’ve been, I’ve been grieving

With mug stamped all over me and nobody enthralled in me
I will punch my way out of that paper bag
Then with a click of my fingers and a witty gag

I’ll see fate call for me with a parting word not a kick start
And I’ll sink my teeth into its heart
Then with its dirty blood all over me like the evidence of that noble art
I’ll make my excuses and depart.
