lyrics
We were all about notes and fax machines
Swim suits, sunglasses and baggy jeans
Roof nights in sleeping bags nestled tight
And diving in the pool with the morning light
Stumbling through your history of choices
You danced, you were all eyes and poses
You pushed me and pulled me back for fun
I cut the cord before we got burned
T’was a recipe for disaster
T’was a recipe for disaster
Sure was a recipe for disaster
In a blur, body on body, skin on skin
We were thrown off by a surplus of adrenaline
From nothing to everything in a flash
In a flash from burning to ashes
T’was a recipe for disaster
(Now I'm gonna be my own master)
T’was a recipe for disaster
(Now I'm gonna be my own master)
Sure was a recipe for disaster
(Now everybody knows that I'm gonna be my own master)
Our moves were sweet and uncalculated
What a shame it had to turn sour
To feel emotionally assaulted
Left us all predictably bitter
T’was a recipe for disaster
(Now I'm gonna be my own master)
T’was a recipe for disaster
(Now I'm gonna be my own master)
So now I choose to be my own master
(Now everybody knows that I'm gonna be my own master)
My own master
Swim suits, sunglasses and baggy jeans
Roof nights in sleeping bags nestled tight
And diving in the pool with the morning light
Stumbling through your history of choices
You danced, you were all eyes and poses
You pushed me and pulled me back for fun
I cut the cord before we got burned
T’was a recipe for disaster
T’was a recipe for disaster
Sure was a recipe for disaster
In a blur, body on body, skin on skin
We were thrown off by a surplus of adrenaline
From nothing to everything in a flash
In a flash from burning to ashes
T’was a recipe for disaster
(Now I'm gonna be my own master)
T’was a recipe for disaster
(Now I'm gonna be my own master)
Sure was a recipe for disaster
(Now everybody knows that I'm gonna be my own master)
Our moves were sweet and uncalculated
What a shame it had to turn sour
To feel emotionally assaulted
Left us all predictably bitter
T’was a recipe for disaster
(Now I'm gonna be my own master)
T’was a recipe for disaster
(Now I'm gonna be my own master)
So now I choose to be my own master
(Now everybody knows that I'm gonna be my own master)
My own master

Humble Humans recommends:
-
Kishi Bashi is a talented multi-instrumentalist and has a knack for melodies that tug at your heart strings. This concept album manages to be as romantic as his previous work but political as well.

Staring at the Starry Ceiling
by Charm of FinchesI performed with Charm of Finches in 2015 at a songwriters-in-the-round gig in Melbourne. I was immediately taken with their incredible harmonies and beautiful songwriting. This is a gem of an album.

Passerby Chorale
by Gabriel LynchThis is one of my favourite albums by my friend Gabriel. It is a true troubadour's travel diary, rich in beautiful arrangements and heartfelt sentiment.
