about

A young man marries his childhood sweetheart, but finds out that he's getting a lot more than he bargained for.

lyrics

Young wife, all skin and bones,
All the rent-a-mob are jealous cos she loves you.
But you've bitten off more than you can chew,
Young wife, she's got perfect teeth,
Not in it for the money, and she loves you
But you've bitten off more than you can chew,
You're not fat or stupid you've got hairs upon your chest
But she caught you beauty-sleeping and she tied you to the bed,
You've got aching in your kidneys, you've got sulphur in your guts,
And it feels like your knuckles are a mess of blood and cuts,
Your teeth fell out this morning into the sink
Your gums are bleeding black and its not easy to think
You meet her mum and her dad you shake them firmly by the hand
But you've bitten off more than you can chew,
Got a young wife, you lucky bleeder.

Late Starters Coventry, UK

Late Starters are a Coventry band that had been around for over 7 years without anyone really noticing until they self- released their long player "Crackle Ok" in 2014.

A punchy and melodic three piece rock band, with choppy guitars and soaring riffs, Late Staters' songs wander through forgotten wars and fantastical worlds, from science fiction to supernatural urban legends.
