    Hayley Mary; a wee pocket rocket with the voice of a giant angel. A bona fide persona with no shortage of past achievements, but they are not why we are here. Superstars live in the future.

    The Piss, The Perfume, the singer’s debut EP, was written mainly while Hayley was working in Smith’s Deli, (“the best caff”, according to one local taxi driver, in Edinburgh). She and her partner, Johnny, relocated from Sydney to the Scottish capital last year to live. The EP’s title track, designed to turn a page between two eras of Sydney life, has all the optimism and irony that nostalgia can afford, ‘Like a Woman Should’ continues the contradiction of attitudes, disguising a heartfelt love song written for a real and life-affirming man, as a social commentary about the conceptual collective fear of the so-called ‘toxic men’ we are ever reminded may be looming.

    Produced by Scott Horscroft (Silverchair, The Presets, Tkay Maidza, Middle Kids), The Piss, The Perfume fuses Americana, Australiana and punk songwriting with Motown inspired rhythms and soaring vocal style.

lyrics

Caught in the crossfire caught in the fishing wire, ohhh
Your love is a sweet thing the anger in me choses to ignore
And sometimes I wish that I was, wish that I was, wish that I was born in another time
In the future, see my daughters born, see my daughters born
Born into a world where
Suddenly like I could walk the street, I walk the street like a woman should
Like nobody was around
Like I could walk the street, I walk the street like woman should
I was a lady. You were a streetlight in the cold
If you could save my body, I wonder what you would do with my soul
And sometimes I wish that I was, wish that I was born in another time
In the future, see my daughters born, see my daughters born
Born Into a world where
Suddenly like I could, walk the street, I walk the street like a woman should
Like nobody was around
Like I could, could shed the anatomy of my high school
Like my body was allowed
Yeah like I could walk the street, I walk the street like a woman should
And I’d be walking home to you
I’d be walking home to you
We hadn’t had the chance to say goodbye
Before they lay me down to the ground to die
I hope I find me a world where
Suddenly like I could walk the street, I walk the street like a woman should
Like nobody was around
Like I could, could shed the economy of my childhood
Like my body was allowed
Yeah like I could walk the street, I walk the street like a woman should
I’d be walking home to you
I’d be walking home to you
