lyrics

i give in to the stink inside
i need something to go on
nothing comes, no need to dry my eyes
just a bad day after all

and then i remember your voice
the warmth in your smile keeps on
until the image just pierces a hole
and the stink starts stinking more

thank you for my bank account
you know that i hate to work
i grew up telling you all the time i need some time to grow up

some time to know what i love
some time to know what is wrong with what i'm doing to people with my ability to destroy

feels right to go out
give me something come on
i need something to calm it down right now
give me somehting come on
i was never a good son

about

The Toy Commander Lille, France

The Toy Commander plays indie pop like he played with toys in his childhood. Mostly, it's cool. Sometimes, you don't understand what he's doing with a dinosaur in one hand and a tmnt action figure in the other.
