about

One off single 'Before Me' from Bossyking, bridging the gap between their introductory EP 'Music & Machinery' and the writing of their debut album.
Created over lockdown at their home studio, it explores themes of freedom, longing and anticipation.

lyrics

I saw you juggle knives behind dirty supermarkets
dark streets call the night towards the fray
Sunset brings the things we shouldn’t talk about
and sirens start and sweep towards the day
Towards the day

The dust and the must of the earth’s broken crust
and all the lines that define all our time float away
Float away
Towards the day

Like my brother before me
Like my sister before me
We break out
Break out

Like a bee to the honey
Like a thief to the money
You take what you can get and drink it down

Give me something that don’t come for free
