Phishing For Compliments

Liner Notes
Collab with the Mighty Dirk Bag. My words, bass and keys, his guitar, vocals & melody.
Based on a true story. Except I reported it the moment I got the e-mail; and didn't get my free Greggs sausage rolls as a result.
Also, I had some spare words and too many track plans to work on to do them justice. So I reached out to Gordon, who liked them enough to turn this round in a few hours. Then I thought 'Well I better add some thickening sounds to it then' - so out came the bass and keyboard. As all good collabs start and finish!
Lyrics
It’s lonely on the internet AI everywhere I'd like to really connect If anybody’s there
But I'm shy and introspective I don’t know how to speak To a lady, no, not really, So instead I’ll peek
Into your private kingdom of Virtual privacy - Once I have your contact details, Leave it up to me.
Hard to be a male in world where Identity is blurred I have found a way around that - Fishing for rich girls
Tell me I am super-lovely How great I am in bed - Don’t worry, you are going to pay; Even if you’re dead
I have got the will - well, your will - And the talent to Empty bank accounts for cash fun, By being gallant.

Free sausage rolls! Only if they are veggie ones though... Like that Mr Gordon said, this really is a damn fine collab. Back in the day of Amsterdam FOPs it would have been a delight to see the pair of you do this one live.
That ending...genius! Hilarious! This song...I really don't know what to make of it except to enjoy the mirth and whimsy and curiosity this has. Nice work.
It might be wrong to comment on something I've had a part in, but I really like this! Nicely done mr Cashpoint!
Haha how it turns from a relatable lament to lousy con DIY ! Dark humor and social comment ! I love this !
