about

Flat Coins is the second single from Porpoise Spit's forthcoming debut album, Don't Quit, due out on Psychic Hysteria October 13, 2023.

lyrics

I’ve been sneaking out to put coins on the tracks
Drinking, smoking, kissing different boys trying to relax

And down at the boathouse where I work
My boss tells me to pull down my shirt
Cos that’s how girls get work

It’s alright brush it off we’re cut from a different cloth
Something else, something else, you’re something else
Turn around, shed a tear, but to them your eyes are clear
If you breathe, you survive, you exist

I’ve been sleeping, thinking, dreaming of those days
Name still scratched on the platform waiting for that same old train

And down at the high school where I work
The kids tell me how flat coins still burn
Cos we get what we deserve

It’s alright brush it off we’re cut from a different cloth
Something else, something else, you’re something else
Turn around, shed a tear, but to them your eyes are clear
If you breathe, you survive, you exist

Cos we all get what we deserve
We we get what we deserve
