about
The Painkillers return to their full-Garage best with the kicking new single 'Quietest Heart'.
You can keep your head down in these inflationary times, find yourself a secret hidey-hole as the landlords ride about in the sky on fire-breathing dragons. You can turn down your amp, tone down your look, embrace a side-hustle, stay home. You can have the quietest heart of all. But you can not not love; there is just way too many things and people and stories and songs that are so achingly beautiful, that you will love your way out of silence.
And should that happen to you, and you are in need of a rollicking number to speak of your joy and confusion and vertigo, you could write down every complaint that comes to mind and put it to a happy tune.
Or you could buy our song for a dollar through Bandcamp. Either way, we wish you good trouble, complications and a city that loves you.

LYRICS
I wasn't out here looking for a new thing
I was trying to fix the stuff i had
But then you came along
And sung your rotten song
Oh, why d'ya have to wake the quietest heart?
Oh, why d'ya have to wake the quietest heart?
And make it want something it will surely lose
It's not even your fault
You're such a nice person
Oh why d'ya have to wake the quietest heart?
Oh why oh why oh why oh why
One of us will change and then we'll cry
You have your little dance
And then you lose that circumstance
Oh why d'ya have to wake the quietest heart
A heart should just be calm and gently beat, dear
A heart should never be so far inflamed
For every woman, man, non-binary person in the land
Oh why do you have to wake the quietest heart.
Oh why d'ya have to wake the quietest heart
And why does it leap so from my chest?
I can bear the pain
But I don't like to drop the reins
Oh why dya have to wake the quietest heart
Oh why oh why oh why
I can hear the spheres calling in the sky
And if i should complain
You tell me you feel the same way
Oh why dya have to wake the quietest heart?
Oh, the quietest heart, it always was to blame
Oh, the quietest heart is just a ball of shame
The quietest heart has woken now, to carry away my mind
The quietest heart must someday break
Its just a case of time.
And i don't want to be (in love)
And you don't want to be (in love)
So what's up with you and me, then
So maybe i could come around tomorrow
Or maybe you could come around today
Or meet me in the city
I'll be sure to look so pretty
Oh why dya have to wake the quietest heart
Why
Why
A heart should have no voice
Because a heart don't have no choice
Oh why dya have to wake the quietest heart?
