about

Melbourne quirky punk rock stalwarts The Mean Times have stepped things up another notch with the release of their snarling new single, ‘She Lives On Oxygen’ – the first to come off their upcoming EP, ‘Stunned Mullet’.

‘She Lives On Oxygen’ is a dark stoner punk rock and roll track, happily drowning in guitar noise and corporate sexual greed. It's as much a love song as a hate song - a song about falling deeply under someone's influence with no way out.

lyrics

She lives on oxygen
She takes all mine
She lives on oxygen
And borrowed time
She takes the car out driving
On Sunday nights
She takes the bottle out baby
But I don’t mind

I breathe in
I breathe out
See, she’s foaming
At the mouth
With my heart
And my lungs
Yeah she speaks to me in tongues
Alright

She spends her life on money
She spends all mine
This position is set to continue
In her own time
She takes my mind off wandering
On Sunday drives
She leads the life I’m living
But I don’t mind

I breathe in
I breathe out
See, she’s foaming
At the mouth
With my heart
And my lungs
Yeah she speaks to me in tongues
And it’s all been getting better
Since she’s been getting wetter
I’m always so pathetic
You know I’m gonna get it
Cos I’m always going to breathe
That oxygen

Get off my back
Get on your horse
X 4

Solo

I breathe in
I breathe out
See, she’s foaming
At the mouth
With my heart
And my lungs
Yeah she speaks to me in tongues
And it’s all been getting better
Since she’s been getting wetter
I’m always so pathetic
You know I’m gonna get it
Cos I’m always going to breathe
That oxygen

Suck it in
Suck it in
Suck it in baby
Suck it in
Suck it in
Suck it in baby
Suck it in
Suck it in
Suck it in baby
Suck it in
Suck it in
Suck it in baby

about

The Mean Times image

The Mean Times Melbourne, Australia

The Mean Times sound is an amalgamation of infectious high-energy, melodious rock and roll, and Good God Almighty funtimes. It’s a pastiche of indie cool, sharp riffs, scuzzy laden and confident rock, and catchy pop choruses, all delivered with a side serve of tongue in cheek lyrics and a hell of a lot of swagger. ... more
