White picket fences on my mind I see them all the time in my mind's eye But it seems intangible, for the minute So I reach for my credit card and carve another line Inflated prices on the latest devices The last fad was ISIS but now It's cocaine Kony 2012 has come and gone But Ben Shapiro's going strong An amateur thinker, another string in his throng I last pissed myself sometime before I turned 11 Now I shit the bed every day Now I shit the bed every day White picket fences on my mind A few nice doggies off the leash, for a treat we hit the beach But it all seems intangible So I just spout another joke in to my social crucible White picket fences on my mind I see 'em all the time in my mind's eye But it seems intangible for the minute So I reach for my credit card and I carve another line I shit the bed every day White picket fences

Watch out for old mate He's in a right foul one And fair deuce to him I did something disgusting in his coffee But Oli, he did a bigger one A real plonker The guy's an animal A proper wild one And he doesn't even know The difference, between equity and equality He doesn't even appreciate The nuance, depth, and subversions of Giggle Tv See he's different to you and me You and I bleed red ya see But he bleeds Filthy little cussing words That come from within his tummy And leave through his mouth Laziness and debauchery They keep the grass green Keep the grass growing Keeps you mean, keeps you righteous Mistress Sharmaine is at the party She dresses plain and keeps things rainy Slimey Pete is in attendance His arms are a different length from one another And one time he ate some concrete Eager Monique keeps her high discreet While DJ Davo parks his bike out the front of the lawn His eyes war torn are old DJ Davo's Ya seen Sharmaine from the party She left him just the other week Because he's a gaslighting And objectifying little scrubber I can't quite fathom why he was invited here tonight But here he is, the man himself Seeking sex and salvation With a face like a fucking Alsatian Sex and salvation Oooh, oooh Ah ba ba ba ba ba, da da da da da Ta ta ta ta ta Crash, bang Bing bong wallop Cha cha woow Bing bading bading ding bing Ding bing bup bup bo boooow Wha wha wha wha wha Whoa whoa whoa what's going on

I thought I'd want to know it But I know I was wrong I'm ideologically opposed to my inclinations It's an indefinite scrap with an unwanted trait And it goes on I know I was wrong I'm hanging on It goes on, and on, and on I'm working on myself I cannot predict a verdict Vindictive towards myself Crass words internalized I fully want to better myself Before this drags out for too long Huh, huh Huh, huh, huh Hwooh

Prosperity in a Beverley abode Parsonages fit for Tom Petty The dusty carpenter from Galilee Is compelling But triumph in the saddle of a Tesla series x Complimentary and tax free Good job you discount Bieber looking fuck It's all piss, and prosperity Piss and prosperity Hysteria, and robbery To Hell with prosperity It's all piss, and prosperity Piss and prosperity Hysteria, and robbery To Hell with prosperity Away with all your horny, and thirsty hymns And all your stadium shows Wrangling personal woes for prescribed emotions Spiritually spent from this money-making potion But seriously Read the lyrics again you spiritual sex junkie Piss, and prosperity Piss and prosperity Hysteria, and robbery To Hell with prosperity It's all piss, and prosperity Piss and prosperity Hysteria, and robbery To Hell with prosperity Your back is turned to the ones who don't Suit your sheik Women, with lustful leisure's Men with Lucifer's endeavors It taints the crisp image A bunch of degenerates With no repentance Can fuck off It's all piss, and prosperity Piss and prosperity Hysteria, and robbery To Hell with prosperity It's all piss, and prosperity Piss and prosperity Hysteria, and robbery To Hell with prosperity It's all piss, and prosperity Piss and prosperity Hysteria, and robbery To Hell with prosperity It's all piss, and prosperity Hysteria, and robbery To Hell with prosperity

Walls as white as the snow on the television screen back home Every seat is a throne and every sitter is giant and regal Blocking the artificial sun as I cower beneath their flawless, beautiful mass Corridors with greater depth than any sanctum I've been brought to I am blissfully engulfed by this place Oh what a perfect day it is To immerse myself in this structure of bustling tranquillity I haven't got the worries of the people around me My surroundings are without consequence I am here, yet unaffected I can perceive no joys in enlightenment What are these people feeling These earnest, titanic strangers Why should I care Oh what a perfect day indeed To spend in the most wonderous of places Sporadic whirs, and shrill beeps form a fugazi dawn chorus But these sounds have no meaning to me They merely perplex and amaze Whenever something goes awry in this world Or a mess has been made, or someone displays Behaviour deemed unnecessary, or even unsavoury Eager souls, with eager hands, with pure intentions Leap to rectify the situation And therefore This new, and mysterious place will be kept in a perfect state forever

about

Faux Pas is a high energy meditation on the things that matter to us.

Frank, moody, and at times abrasive. The debut of Wellington post punk act The Pink Frosts features alternately crooning and wailing guitars, melodic synths, driving modulated bass lines, booming drums, and vocals that travel from introspective spoken word to seething rage.

Featuring a passionate and uncompromising ensemble of tracks that move seamlessly from 80's film style synth, to angsty and venomous punk. Faux Pas is a culmination of the music that moves us, both past and present.

The contemporary lyrical themes of Faux Pas flirt between introspection, dissatisfaction, and tongue-in-cheek humour - lashing out at our own ineptitudes, as well as the woes of everyday life.

This music was not made to please anyone but ourselves, but we sincerely hope you find something to love in these nine tracks.

To those who supported us, we couldn't have done this without you. If you know, you know.

We hope you enjoy listening to Faux Pas as much as we did making it
