about
Felix: Gears was written when I’d just moved to London and was working very long hours whilst trying to keep up with increasing band commitments for Divorce. I was spending all of my time working or playing shows and couldn’t maintain any kind of social life or keep up with the spending a social life felt like it would cost. The song came out of those frustrations.
lyrics
Lyrics:
Thank the lord I got back safe
The dogs were biting at my heels all the way down the home straight
You’d see the size of my grin if I wasn’t hiding my face
This is just my life now, getting on with the race
Where’s Jackie and all of my friends?
Guess they’re out somewhere again
I’ll see them Tuesday
I’ll see them Tuesday
So don’t wait up
I’ll try your phone
This shit sucks
I don’t remember
When the gears got stuck
I don’t remember
When the gears got stuck
I told you there was nothing to say
My teeth were climbing out my head by the end of the final play
I spent seven hours talking him down outside a supermarket
This is just my life now, outside a supermarket
Where’s Jackie and all of my friends
Spending money at the weekend
Spending money at a bar
Spending money at a cool new bar
So don’t wait up
I’ll try your phone
This shit sucks
I don’t remember
When the gears got stuck
I don’t remember
When the gears got stuck

I just started listening to this album today and am IN LOVE! Every track is perfect.
I'm slightly sad I didn't start listening to boygenius until but happy to be a fan of their music <3 lissie_a
Chastity Belt is one of the best bands out there right now. I grew up mid 90’s w some amazing music, these ladies are a great throwback to that time. Their melodies and songwriting are such high caliber that they feel like they’ve been your life long friends, very personal. aerislives
