The title track from Felix M-B’s debut album, ‘Chunk’ is a tongue-in-cheek ballad, full of self-deprecation and comedic observations on the nature of intimacy and comfort. Ensemble horns provide a warm blanket, while rippling keys reveal unavoidable transience, culminating in a cacophonous drunken breakdown.
lyrics
You can’t really rush the right rhythm if you’re feeling it in your feet
You can’t really say how you feel when you’re brushing your teeth
You can’t make a lot of good friends when you’re out at sea
But you can’t really tell me not to come if you’re calling for me
So take a chunk of my time
A chunk of my lonely night
Then it won’t be such a lonely night
Oh take a chunk of my time
Love me for the lonely me
Then it won’t be the only me
Dip me in the batter like a fish just to see how I fry
I knew a kid who pulled the wings off a bee just to see how she died
You can pull the wings off of me since I never even learned how to fly
Anyway I won’t be needing them when I’ve got you here by my side
So take a chunk of my time
A chunk of my lonely night
Then it won’t be such a lonely night
Oh take a chunk of my time
Love me for the lonely me
Then it won’t be the only me
The chunk has you and the chunk has me
We’re just busy being alive and we’re sleeping on our feet
And there’s nothing wrong with that I hope there’s nothing wrong with me
I’m just calling out into the darkness in the hope that you might
Take a chunk of my time
A chunk of my lonely night
Then it won’t be such a lonely night
Oh take a chunk of my time
Love me for the lonely me
Then it won’t be the only me
