HeartSongs - 20170814

  • Published in Columns

 

Welcome to HeartSongs, our regularly scheduled (probably) look at songs and the people who write them. We spoke to Nottingham rockers Babe Punch about their debut single ‘Control’.

“’Control’ was written in about 10 minutes in a sweaty practice room. Carys had thought of the chord progression at home and brought it to practice, where our previous guitarist, Miles, came up with a riff to go with it and Abbie and Adam followed with bass and drums.

Molly figured out a melody there and wrote the lyrics at home. The lyrics are about when you feel like you're not in control of what's happening after getting out of a relationship and trying to get that back through having power over the situation.

The guitar inspiration came partly from Deap Vally because of the power of their parts, and Adam's inspiration for drums came from a Germs album called GI. Molly's lyrics more just came out than having been inspired by anything.”

‘Control’ lyrics:

Haven't you heard

I'm a woman scorned

I've got nobody to keep me warm

Lets lie with our bodies only

Intertwined

I don't want anything from you

I just want control

My baby's lips they were

Laced with lies

Take away all of my demons

Underneath a lilac sky

I will not beg you to want me

Lets lie with our bodies only

Intertwined

Don't want anything from you

I just want control

Lets lie with our bodies only

Intertwined

I don't want anything from you

I just want control
