Comes in a cardboard sleeve featuring psychedelic artwork by Jack Bride, inspired by Dara's dream of a blissed-out unicorn pony listening to our music in the form of a donut on a toy record player in a majestic wonderland. the back has our Donut Heart logo, designed by Rah's awesome flatmate Marion Barry. DIY printed insert with lyrics, insights, thank-yous, and love.

lyrics

the boy grew up with a mother so shitty
threw a turkey at the wall
and the stain wasn't pretty

they went to Brockton shoe town city
wore the life of Stacy Adams
even when they stopped fitting, hey!

oh, oh, ooooooooh...

straight as an arrow in school, he was witty
and a whole lotta luck
helped him through the nitty-gritty

he went down south to Baltimore city
banged a dent in his head just a
dancing on the jitterbug

the girls up north, they were shy little kittens
but the ones in Baltimore
changed the game he was playing, uh…

went back, got married, got to work, and had a family…

now what's the point of living pretty
if you're not happy?
what a shame, what a pity

if you could go back, would you choose differently?
well, there is no going back
so fuck off all you critics, hey!
