Dud Lyrics
[Verse 1: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
In this shattered land
The moon is rising up in blood
We try and understand
Quiet evenings call
The hums of thunder rumble in
Stars from silver orbits fall
I had an open heart
I believe I was told
To guard it
Instead I let it break apart
See the desert glow
Cross this fairyland
The sparks are flying like the torch you hold in your hand
[Chorus 1: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
What happened to the honesty?
Where
Is the cold hard truth?
Can you swallow what you chew?
[Verse 2: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
All this tragedy
Yeah, we don't have regrets
We let them wash away
With our sheer ignorance
My spirit's bound
And it's tied up in chains
Taking flight, crashing like a paper plane in the rain
[Chorus 1: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
What happened to the honesty?
Where
Is the cold hard truth?
Can you swallow what you chew?
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus 2: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
Father
Father, I bid you adieu
The man out of time, I'll see you soon
Father
Father, I bid you adieu
Every day I miss him
[Chorus 1: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
What happened to the honesty?
Where is the cold hard truth?
Can you swallow what you chew?
[Chorus 2: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
Father
Father, I bid you adieu
The man out of time, I'll see you soon
Father
Father, I bid you adieu
Somewhere up there singing the blues
Never out of tune

What did GUM & Ambrose Kenny-Smith say about "Dud"?
Ambrose Kenny-Smith:
After my dad passed away in May last year, we never got to properly finish the song together. It only felt right to make the chorus as more of a send off to him. I miss him everyday but I’m so glad I now have this song to remember him by. It helped me process his passing a lot....
