I know "not now, not ever" is what I said before but now I see the light buzzing on my Malm you've applied some picture pressure for me to crumple to your door you know I thought I might have got over you by now I do everything to not reply, I turn back over rub my eyes re-read your message twenty times - who do I think I'm kidding? Pick my pocket, I'll pretend I didn't see nick my wallet, take some cash and cut yourself a key I try it and I can't knock it you lie but don't you dare stop it just you play your pocket right on me My mother always told me - "leopards don't change their spots" and thank God it's true, with a coat like yours my housemates they just scold me throwing pennies at my thoughts on why I leave the door open to you and hey - i'm not so sure I do everything to not reply I turn around and roll my eyes crack my knuckles, agonise - who do I think I'm kidding Pick my pocket, I'll pretend I didn't see nick my wallet, take some cash and cut yourself a key I try it and I can't knock it you lie but don't you dare stop it just you play your pocket right on me There's a fork in the road but there's only one tine it's my fault - so why can't i stop complaining? The knife that you hold has cut me for the last time but yea....yea I'll come over, see you soon Pick my pocket, I'll pretend I didn't see nick my wallet, take some cash and cut yourself a key I try it and I can't knock it you lie but don't you dare stop it just you play your pocket right on me pick my pocket, I'll pretend I didn't see just you play your pocket right on me pick my pocket, I'll pretend I didn't see just you play your pocket right on me
3.	Canderel (Grownup Lullaby) 03:14	lyrics	buy track
Softly poured into sleep, no waiting game Sweeter tenfold than sugar cane Toll the bell, Canderel - another day has passed away Since the night I awoke to you spooned into my life I pulled your taffy legs up next to mine Pressure swells for Canderel - too sweet to know what to do with I don't really know if I'm strong enough to fulfil my wish to every inch of you When just a cup of you is more than enough for a family the whole year through We lie til parted by death - dirty nails and stinkin' breath with our fingers stitched atop your breast Does future tell of Canderel - too sweet to know just what I'll do with? Canderel, oh Canderel - the woman I'll dream of forever
4.	KONL feat. Olivia Bhattacharjee - Trying to Break My Heart 04:01	lyrics	buy track
Why won't you tell me the truth? Or even say if something's wrong to me? We could have songs to sing but all that you bring is just a mind to read All the hiding you do is buried in your physiology You cover up your mouth and over your tracks when you speak to me Young hearts only get to old age beating on the same page, so - why won't you tell me the truth? I cry when you lie Feels like you're trying to break my heart My eyes won't dry 'til you're done trying to break my heart I wanna tell you the truth I wanna tell you what's wrong with me All the cigarettes, kebabs and the private tabs of my history But if I tell you the truth would you start to pull away from me? So you can understand why I'm causing all this heartache deliberately I cry when I lie Feels like I'm trying to break your heart I hide behind my pride It don't mean I'm trying to break your heart I know I'm lying - It breaks my heart Feels like I'm trying [feels like you're trying] To break your heart [to break my heart]

about

HPBC Records is proud to announce its upcoming release Think About It with guitar-led bedroom-funk Belfast-born, Leeds based producer/songwriter KONL. Having gained critical acclaim playing across the UK and gaining hundreds of thousands of views for his online videos, he is now releasing his first EP, mixing vintage funk and soul sounds with contemporary pop sensibilities. The combination of toxically funky rhythms and sweet, humorous songwriting means his music falls somewhere in the valley carved out by artists like John Mayer or Vulfpeck.

Seeing as he sings, writes, produces and plays all the instruments recorded, it makes sense that his EP launch will be a solo show, taking place at Hyde Park Book Club on the 3rd of November. As a producer, KONL has already developed a distinctive style which has shaped unique musical styles for artists such as Alice Kim and Phoebe Katis, as well as 8-piece funk band New Position.

Think About It includes critically acclaimed tracks Pocket and Think About Me and highlights KONL’s unique voice as a song-writer and musician. In his own words, his music sounds “a bit like…well…imagine if C-3PO sang the blues”. We can only presume that what he really means to say is that the production techniques are savvy but it still retains a lo-fi, DIY charm. We’ll let the music do the rest of the talking.
