More than two years after last performing as Nerve Centre, Ronan The Singer had moved to New York, effectively ending Nerve Centre.
But, It turned out there was one more song left in Birmingham's most unsigned band.
Ronan wrote this while ascending on a flight to Birmingham from New York. It was written in half an hour while listening to Taylor Swift's Red. A demo to outline the melody was recorded on his phone, under his hoodie, in the plane's bathroom.
While making his connection at Dublin, he sent it to James the Guitarist and Jon the Drummer, saying they should record it later.
Like much of Nerve Centre's later material, it was recorded in Ronan's house in Birmingham, which as of writing, is for sale. So it'll be the last time that happens.
lyrics
Diva, you hired two liars
I can see their pants on fire
From the group text
The one where they said
That they’d call and email
But I’d no missed calls or mail from them
I told them I was in LA
And would not be available everyday
Two of them plus one of you
Equals three idiots that I can do without
Liars, you’re loving one diva
Bragging about awards from Akademia
From the group text
The one where he said
“Ronan’s in LA, it’s earlier there”
But harassing me in Disneyland is not OK
I told him I was in LA
And would not be available everyday
One of him plus two of you
Equals three idiots that I can do without
One diva plus two liars
Equals three idiots
A toxicity bomb
And I’ll politely bow out of it
In an email
You should check emails
It’s 2019
I laid it all out
Instead of asking liars
In the group text
You should check emails
It’s 2019
I told you all I was in LA
And would not be available everyday
One of you plus two of you
Equals three idiots that I can do without
