As the opener of the eponymous album, “Conditions Of A Punk” serves as a prologue for the narrative presented through the succeeding songs. Frontman Josh Taylor bitterly looks back on a failing relationship, realizing that what he expected from love is not what he received.
Opening the album with a...
[Intro]
Two, three, four
Love held up a mirror
Who I am is what I got
Far more than a feeling
But love wasn't what I thought, mm
Real thing wasn't what I got (What I got), no
[Refrain]
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, I'm done of being so in love
The conditions of j-j-just a punk
[Verse 1]
Sour, lovesick
Spit it out, runnin'
Too tripped up on loose ends
You're not what I thought, out of character
Guess I played the part
Of being so in love
Conditions of who I really was
Past summer now, you're still not around
Can't go on without
Conditions of j-j-just a punk
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, what are we now?
Pain gettin' too loud
Oh, turn it all down
[Chorus]
Wrapped in plastic
Love ain't what I thought it was
Far beyond my selfish touch
Ain't it tragic
Summer took it out of me
Love ain't what I thought it'd be, yeah
[Verse 2]
Heartbreaker by nature
Chasin' a feelin' till you cut me down
You make it look easy gettin' off the ground
So, tell me (Tell me), what you
Can't go on without
Perceptions of what I really want
[Chorus]
Wrapped in plastic
Love ain't what I thought it was
Far beyond my selfish touch
Ain't it tragic
Summer took it out of me
Love ain't what I thought it'd be, yeah
[Refrain]
You're not what I thought
Out of character
Guess I played the part of being so in love
Conditions of who I really was
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, I'm done of being so in love
Conditions of j-j-just a punk
[Chorus]
Ain't it tragic
Summer took it out of me
Love ain't what I thought it'd be
Wrapped in plastic
Love ain't what I thought it was
Far beyond my selfish touch
Ain't it tragic
Summer took it out of me
Love ain't what I thought it'd be, yeah
Ain't it tragic
Summer took it out of me
Love ain't what I thought it'd be
[Outro]
Oh, nice
