about

A light, poppy groove recalling Michael McDonald, which contrasts with the bitter polemic about the annoyingly good looking.

lyrics

A NEW AGE I HOPE'S BEGUN, PREJUDICE NOW ON THE RUN
YET THERE'S ONE BREED MOST STILL HATE,
IT'S BECAUSE THEIR GIFT'S INNATE

THEY HAVE IT ALL, THEY GET EACH BREAK,
BUT EVERY ONE'S A FAKE

PRETTY PEOPLE SIMPLY VILE, KNOW JUST HOW TO USE A SMILE
PRETTY PEOPLE LIKED BY ALL, THEY'D BE FIRST AGAINST MY WALL

EXCUSED ALL BY ALL OF US, SADLY 'TWAS FOREVER THUS
CAST AS AD MEN'S BOURGEOISIE, THEY'RE WHAT WE'D ALL RATHER BE

THEY HAVE WHAT SELLS, SO TALL AND THIN
AND WE'RE ALL TAKEN IN

PRETTY PEOPLE ALWAYS COOL, LIFE WAS EASY ALL THRO' SCHOOL
PRETTY PEOPLE FILL OUR SCREENS, SO MUCH LESS THAN WHAT THEY SEEM

TIME WITH THEM IS SO MISSPENT, THEIR ROLE’S JUST TO ORNAMENT
ALWAYS GETTING ALL THE LUCK, PRETTY PEOPLE, PRETTY PEOPLE,
PRETTY PEOPLE SUCK!!

Twice winners of the UK Songwriting Contest, Biscay have released 2 EPs (2017 & 2020) and a series of singles since Nov 2020, starting with Blame Game. Biscay's music combines dark, misanthropic and sardonic messages with uplifting melodies and funky grooves. They make acid jazz for the analytic, funk for flag-bearers and nu-soul for neurotics. Theirs is yacht-rock for stormy seas. ... more
