Lyrics
Don't tell me how it works
don't tell me how to do it right
don't tell me what I'm doing wrong
la la la
When I'm drawing this glass
trying to fill in the gaps
when I'm bottom of the class
la la la
Head to toe in a white sheet
tell yourself you are a ghost
say it's me you love the most
la la la
I lay out our clothes
cross the trousers at the ankles
tells you all you need to know
about love, about love.

Upturned Boats are sad indie rock music. The band from Glasgow fuse genre tropes and inventive sonic architecture to create songs that are equal parts familiar, inventive and challenging. The band are influenced by giants of the US scene, Wilco and Big Thief and pioneers of UK indie The Smiths and Joy Division. Upturned Boats play off kilter, lyrical, indie guitar music with joy and passion.
