Written to while away a tense couple of hours waiting for a not-quite-boyfriend to set a time and meeting place for a callous dumping, Cold Shoulder is the bitter lovechild of Elastica and Queens Of The Stone Age. Laura’s surly vocal is a clarion call over urgent, grungey guitars as she demands to know: “What’s coming for me? Ex-girlfriend or STD?”

You’ll have to listen to find out…

Cold Shoulder

I’m waiting in line
He’s taking his fucking time
I’m not doing all right
I did some crying on my friend last night

You know I’m not stupid
So why don’t you tell me what you’ve done?
You say you’re a good man
So come on and prove it with action
I’m not going to kiss your cold shoulder again
I’m waiting to find out who you think you are
And what’s going on in your head

What’s coming for me?
Ex-girlfriend or STD?
Don’t call me baby
I know he shouldn’t mean this much to me

You know I’m not stupid
So why don’t you tell me what you’ve done?
You say you’re a good man
So come on and prove it with action
I’m not going to kiss your cold shoulder again
I’m waiting to find out who you think you are
And what’s going on in your head

You know I’m not stupid
So why don’t you tell me what you’ve done?
You say you’re a good man
So come on and end what you’ve begun
I’m not going to kiss your cold shoulder again
I’m dying to find out who you think you are
And what’s going on in your head
