about

You can call him when all your friends are busy.

lyrics

The day’s gone home
Said it’s getting pretty late.
She has some friends to meet at a quarter to eight.
Hums along with Mozart
Answers the phone.
Sir you’ve been selected for a personal loan.
He’s waiting. He’s hoping.
He’s smiling. He’s coping.

You need a backup plan
Hey backup friend.
The best backup time
you’ll ever spend.

There’s some frozen pizza
that’s been lying about.
Heats it up as he waits for someone to thaw him out.
Catching up with friends on TV’s
no longer fun.
Looks like the evening’s gonna be another re-run.
He’s waiting. He’s hoping.
He’s smiling. He’s coping.

You need a backup plan
Hey backup friend.
The best backup time
you’ll ever spend.

Invites the emptiness
For a drink or two.
Says another day I’m just passing through.
Turns in for the night
Oh what the heck
If even his dream’s planning on taking a rain check.
He’s waiting. He’s hoping.
He’s smiling. He’s coping.

You need a backup plan
Hey backup friend.
The best backup time
you’ll ever spend.

Beginner's Luck Mumbai, India

Beginner's Luck is about songs with greyish to semi-dark stories. Tales of late realisations, rude awakenings, crab-toed culpability and the placid contortions of fate. If there are rainbows here, they are purely coincidental. All these grim tidings wrapped in a cellophane of bright acoustic guitars, tablas, bass and drums. It's life's curveballs preserved in lemon jello. Or something like that. ... more
