Payday

supported by

Catherine M. Fox Being a resident of the TOWN of Wrecsam, I can definitely relate to this track.... I am so glad that not being able to afford records when my mates were getting into beak, turned me off the drity stuff... When you go to Tesco's cashpoint round my way, la, they run an advert about help with your cocaine addiction.... but its cool, my man says he's alright, he gets paid on Friday, he's good for it. Production on this is delightfully heavy too. Breaks, dirt bass and a guy telling you how it is.

about

PAYDAY is a clash of punk and electronica that rumbles with angst and frustration, whilst still wearing a crooked grin. "I get paid Friday, trust me I'm good for it" is the message, and it speaks to eaking out as much as you can from a bad situation.

It's the first single from Minas's debut album 'All My Love Has Failed Me', a well-crafted look at life as we know it in the modern era - facing dilemmas of society, relationships, addiction and loss.

lyrics

I was dragging my ass across the floor like a dog, mate.
You got like 4 and I’ll pay you later? Mate?
He was like “you’ve had 6 off me this week bruv!” Mate!
Ha this tolerance mate it’s gone up init.
Though…

I get paid Friday, I get paid Friday, I get paid Friday.
Trust me I am good for it.
Trust me I am good for it.
I get paid Friday, I get paid Friday, I get paid Friday.
Trust me I am good for it.
Trust me I am good for it.

My housemates staying in his room,
We’re blasting tunes, I mix up codeine in the kitchen while he munches his noodles.
My parents were punks and I’m being youthful,
What is this revelation, we’re all stuck on phones, you’ll get run over,
I used to break shit to fix things.

I get paid Friday, I get paid Friday, I get paid Friday.
Trust me I am good for it.
Trust me I am good for it.
I get paid Friday, I get paid Friday, I get paid Friday.
Trust me I am good for it.
Trust me I am good for it.
