Scum Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I feel I've reached the end before I've reached death (Woo)
Pick up the pieces of me, you can have what's left
No matter how much you think you love him
You'll still flinch when his blood pool touches you
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm scum, I'm waste, I'm what you want
I'm scum, I'm waste, I'm what you want
I'm scum, I'm waste, I'm what you want
I'm scum, I'm waste, I'm what you want
[Verse 2]
He draws the samples so fast, it feels medical
Chest compressions in the incident support vehicle
And I know it's Stockholm that you're stuck on (Woo)
How high's your pedestal?
But maybe, he'll be Jesus
Maybe he'll be Jesus this time
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm scum, I'm waste, I'm what you want
I'm scum, I'm waste, I'm what you want
I'm scum, I'm waste, I'm what you want
I'm scum, I'm waste, I'm what you want
[Outro]
I recall staring at the sea for the first time
Woah!
I recall staring at the sea for the first time
My eyes wandered, took the sights from the both sides
They longed to be free, but all I could see was horizon
That claustrophobic horizon

What did Lovejoy say about "Scum"?
The ending of Scum […] I needed something shouty and passionate that was about that feeling of being presented with everything, and then receiving nothing […] Like you’re given the whole world on your plate, and yet you are so paralysed by the option and you’re so overwhelmed you end up not taking a...
What have the artists said about the song?
Just as people move between departments at WU&IO, I have moved between many projects myself. One thing that always scared with me through all of it has been one-way adoration. One moment you have the horizon presented to you, the next you are scum.
