Let's write a happy song We'll blow away the clouds till there gone Dance until the sun goes down Pretend that there is nothing wrong Deny everything going on now You didn't care the world was crying Until you realised it would take you too Now your fortunes dying And you don't know who to sue Let's talk about the fish in the murray The coral in the reef Of course it never really touched you So it didn't cause you any grief And in fifteen years you'll say COULDA, SHOULDA, WOULDA Stopped the coal, saved the air COULDA, SHOULDA, WOULDA Stopped waters rising everywhere COULDA, SHOULDA, WOULDA Showed us all that you care COULDA, SHOULDA, WOULDA But you didn't, did you? You sat through their stories To get to the cricket Don't care we're in a drought Or that waters running out Let's let the farmers go broke We'll just drink our coke Until there's record highs We'll all complain about And in fifteen years you'll say COULDA, SHOULDA, WOULDA Stopped the coal, saved the air COULDA, SHOULDA, WOULDA Stopped waters rising everywhere COULDA, SHOULDA, WOULDA Showed us all that you care COULDA, SHOULDA, WOULDA But you didn't, did you? Take a coupla trucks Make a million bucks You bought the world You messed it up Who gives a fuck anyway It should be okay, shouldn't it? Now you better eat you greens Don't you know there are children starving And soon enough We'll all be starving too

Keep Up 02:40
I'm not gonna lie I don't really care about your life I don't care if it's your third wedding Or if you lost your diamond ring, again I'm not gonna lie I don't really care about your life I don't care if your a trendsetter Your scandals and love letters Cause honestly I've had enough Everybodys got there claim to fame But how many are famous? Doesn't matter if millions know your name If no one knows your purpose But I'm doing fine, right here I wont be needing you at all Keep Up! I'm not gonna lie I don't really think you seem that nice You made your fortune being mean Put others down so you'll be seen And no one knows the truth I'm not gonna lie I don't really think you seem that nice Relevancy is your dream To be in all the magazines But why? Sometimes I think it might be nice Sometimes I think I'm jealous A hundred thousand stadium light A second being famous But I'm doing fine, right here I wont be needing you at all Everybodys got there claim to fame But how many are famous? Doesn't matter if millions know your name If no one knows your purpose But I'm doing fine, right here I wont be needing you at all Keep up!

Compromise 03:28
Went to Canberra On a school trip Was a long trip there Went to Parliament Saw a red room And a green room too Visited some galleries There was some overpriced food And so-so artwork Then we were dragged to a coin mint And some gardens It was so fucking boring! That’s why it was a school trip And next time I’m gonna skip it A city crafted out of thin air Is more than we can all bear A city crafted out of thin air It’s more than we can all bear Canberra You’re just a big small town And Canberra You make everyone frown Canberra Nobody likes you And Canberra That’s a bit of an issue Canberra You’re just a big small town And Canberra You make everyone frown Canberra Nobody likes you And Canberra That’s a bit of an issue, an issue, an issue Actually I’ve got an affinity (affinity) It’s peaceful, it’s pristine and it is pretty (it is pretty) I’d go there on a holiday sometimes (sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes) NO Canberra You’re just a big small town And Canberra You make everyone frown Canberra Nobody likes you And Canberra That’s a bit of an issue Canberra You’re just a big small town I guess you might have a pretty decent underground (Canberra) You know, Canberra Nobody likes you And Canberra That’s a bit of an issue Cause you're our capital city Our capital city You're our capital city Our capital city You're our capital city (It’s a bit of an issue, an issue, an issue) Our capital city You're our capital city (It’s a bit of an issue, an issue, an issue) Our capital city You're our capital city (It’s a bit of an issue, an issue, an issue) Our capital city You're our capital city It’s a bit of an issue, an issue, an issue, an issue

about

Since their inception, The Vovos have made a massive name for themselves with their signature punk bitch attitude & unique lyricism. This year the band has achieved more than ever before, including an appearance at Boogie Festival and a support slot for Skegss at The Sidney Myer Music Bowl as part of Melbourne Music Week. 2021 has also brought about three new singles including ‘Temporary Solution’, which has been labelled a ‘righteous call to action’ and a noticeable musical evolution since the bands 2019 debut EP, recorded with Anna Laverty.

When The Vovos announced they were teaming up with indie label Roolette Records (Lazertits, Pinch Points, Girl Germs), the hype has been building for something big… and it’s finally here. If you’re a fan of eating noodles, going to IGA, getting lost in IKEA or attending wedding ceremonies with carnivorous plants, then ‘Jana’, the debut album & cassette tape from The Vovos is for you!
