about

CGNS stands for 'Can't get no sleep'- I first started on this track at 4am. I was in a bad place mentally at the time so that was common fare. I was really haunted by an argument I had had with someone, and I still kept hearing their voice in my head months later-I might have had PTSD but i'm not sure, all I know is that this song helped to completely clear the trauma out of my head-the power of song-making! I was learning french at the time which explains the french phrases scattered about the second verse. I produced this from my bedroom in South-East London and it's really fun to play live.

lyrics

What’s the point of listening if you don’t take it in
What’s the point of being if being is a sin
It’s a cold hard world got to do it together
If you can’t be nice let’s just talk bout the weather
I’ll fait chaud, il fait froid, do you like my new bra? I got it off asos oh it’s sold out, c’est dommage
You really really don’t like it when I stick around
But that is really fine with me cos 3 is a crowd

I just can’t get this weight off my shoulders
Can’t really talk about it but you came and left
Me bereft
And now I still hear your voice in my head
I just can’t get this weight off my shoulders
Can’t really talk about it but you came and left
Me bereft
And now I still hear your voice in my head

I just feel so jaded ever since you manipulated
Feel like a 2D person in a 3D game
there's too many dimensions
Just can’t handle the tension
Now I know your the root of my problems it’s just not the same
It’s no wonder that I feel depressed
Just talking to you’s like a game of chess
C’est dommage I feel like this
I have sacre-blue itis
Wish you were a rapper so that I could call you T-pain

I just can’t get this weight off my shoulders
Can’t really talk about it but you came and left
Me bereft
And now I still hear your voice in my head
I just can’t get this weight off my shoulders
Can’t really talk about it but you came and left
Me bereft
And now I still hear your voice in my head

Wouldn't it be nice if you had no name
you would be blameless, and me more pain
wouldn't it be nice if I had no brain
you would be frameless, and me more shame
wouldn't it be nice if I had more claim
I would be chainless, go up in flames
you would be blameless
you would be blameless

I just can’t get this weight off my shoulders
Can’t really talk about it but you came and left
Me bereft
And now I still hear your voice in my head
I just can’t get this weight off my shoulders
Can’t really talk about it but you came and left
Me bereft
And now I still hear your voice in my head

Sansha is the name my mum wanted to call me before I was born but she was too scared.I’ve been described as a'Lilly Allen- Victoria Wood hybrid’ I think because I tell lots of stories on stage in between singing my songs and I've performed a show at the Edinburgh Fringe twice."A voice that could melt your heart if it wasn't preoccupied with rupturing your belly though laughter"Sofar Sounds Denmark. ... more
