about

Our collaboration with Jess Kavanagh (BARQ). 100% of the proceeds from this track and the 'Can I Push Back?' merch are going to MASI (Movement of Asylum Seekers in Ireland) who are doing amazing work in Ireland to end direct provision and fights for the right to work and education for asylum seekers.

#EndDirectProvision #BlackLivesMatter

'Can I Push Back?' merch was designed as a wearable form of activism - to reassess how we respond in the presence of injustice // to assert our power to call it out.

We want to thank Jess Kav (BARQ) for performing and lending new power and meaning to our song - for particularly sharing this beautiful image of her mother Liz Kavanagh for the artwork.

lyrics

Was it something I said,
That told you everything was for the taking?
Was it hard on yourself,
For you to crawl between the bars?
It’s the standard we set.

Hands off
Keep your eyes up
If you’re moving too fast,
Can I push back?
Do you know if my mind’s on the same track?
-
What did you want
When I walked past?
Was it just a distraction,
From your path?
And it’s hard to digest, look ahead…

Chorus
‘cos it’s always the same
I keep my eyes on track
Give me someone to blame
I keep my mind on myself.

Was it something I said,
That that told you I would build a wall for breaking?
Like a line in the sand
You drag me over it again
Was it all in your head?

Hands off
Not a lost trail
I can walk myself home
Take the last train
I can be a hero in my own game
-
What did you want,
My attention
Did you think that you’d get,
An ovation?
Did you ever think I’d step aside?

Chorus
‘cos it’s always the same,
I keep my eyes on track.
Give me someone to blame,
I’ve got my mind on myself.
… it’s always the same
I keep my eyes on track
Give me someone to blame
I keep my mind on myself.

I keep running into you x 2

Hands off
Keep your eyes up
If you’re moving too fast,
Can I push back?
Do you know if my mind’s on the same track?
-
What did you want
When I walked past?
Was it just a distraction,
From your path?
And it’s hard to digest, it’s a reflex
-
What did you want,
My attention
Did you think that you’d get,
An ovation?
Did you ever think I’d step aside?

Chorus
‘cos it’s always the same
I keep my eyes on track
Give me someone to blame
I’ve got my mind on myself
… it’s always the same
I keep my eyes on track
Give me someone to blame
I keep my mind on myself.
