about

Manoeuvres is the first single from the album EffortLess InSecurity (due for release September 2024).

lyrics

Do you wanna go ten rounds with me?
Remove your gloves and then we'll see
What you're made of
My little opportunity

Used to stand for something but got stuck in a TERF war
I gave you the boot when you decided to kick more
Transplanted Hope for Hate
And now look at the state of it

All these false manoeuvres
They're bringing me down
All this faux confessional tone
It's bringing me down

Slick inauthenticity
Your modus operandi
Manipulate crocodile tears and grandeur

Constantly catastrophise and threaten your exit
Violence will do nothing cause it's just what you wanted
Play the victim, how you love it
Dress it up as something other than

All these false manoeuvres
They're bringing me down
All this faux confessional tone
It's bringing me down

Faux
Faux
Faux!

about

Carol Hodge Huddersfield, UK

Carol Hodge is a 7-fingered, piano-pounding, Yorkshire-dwelling Singer-Songwriter. Think Regina Spektor meets Billy Bragg, but with fewer digits and a continuous existential crisis, sandwiched between bitter irony and relentless optimism. You won’t know whether to laugh or cry, but will definitely feel something.
Long-term collaborator with Steve Ignorant (CRASS); Ginger Wildheart.
