about

The title of this is a pretentious little joke dedicated to Alex because he really likes The Great Gatsby.
The idea of this song is that you can't make someone's head better just because you want them. Think of all the wild and interesting creatures that live in the darkness of the undergrowth, in the mud and the slime. Even daisies are technically weeds but we make necklaces from them.

This song was written together; like building a house, one of us brought the bricks and the other brought the mortar and we built this as a team. I think we can both agree this is one of our favourites off this EP.

lyrics

still smell you on my pillow case

can you taste me on your lips

your smile made flowers grow in the garden where weeds have been

but please remember

i’m a weed, yes i’m your daisy

and I'm your daisy

last night i dreamt about kissing you

I wonder if you want to kiss me too

your smile made flowers grow in the cracks of the pavement

but please remember

I’m a weed

Yes, I’m your daisy

And I'm your daisy

text me say your sheets smell

of my shampoo and sweat and sex

text me say you want me in your bed but your head'll have to do

so please remember

I’m a weed yes

i’m your daisy

I'm your daisy

and i'm nothing without context

I'll wrap around you like a vine.




so chain me and wear me round your neck
