about

‘Pharmacy’ builds from an affecting intimacy into a song with a grand scale: possessing folk-tinged anthemic choruses reminiscent of Bombay Bicycle club and Frightened Rabbit and rippling with personal lyrics that tap into wider themes:

“Pharmacy summarises the feeling of frustration when you cannot help someone you care about.”Says Hoult “Darker themes run through the veins of this track, yet the energetic and cheerful instrumentation represent the mask a lot of people wear on a daily basis.”

lyrics

You don’t deserve it, nobody does
But things aren’t perfect, that grotty fuzz
And your throat feels like sandpaper
And you know it can be absurd
And you know I wish I could be there for you

Oh Charlee I wish I was there for you
And I’ll run down to the pharmacy but it’s closed at this time of night
I’m afraid there’s not a lot that I can do so you’re gonna just have to fight

Take one a day they say
It’ll make you fine
It’s one way to make you better
But it’s not mine
And your toes feel like blocks of ice
And you’ve taken all your friend’s advice

And you know I wish I could be there for you
Oh Charlee I wish I was there for you,
For you

And I’ll run down to the pharmacy but it’s closed at this time of night
I’m afraid there’s not a lot that I can do so you’re gonna just have to fight

And I’ll run down to the pharmacy but it’s closed at this time of night
I’m afraid there’s not a lot that I can do so you’re gonna just have to fight
