    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

I heard you’re coming back to Sydney
I have prepared reaction for this one
I’m sure you expect that I will break down and cry
Or I'll slither away and
Stumble out my window as you skip by singing
Don’t it come around
The wind and the sound
The slant in the room
The piss, the perfume
Always somehow
Can bring me to tears
Whenever combined
With of with pictures of you


I heard you’re coming back to Sydney town
Thought you weren’t for the simple life
Run it alone the whole world round
Do not believe me baby
I've been lying that I’m strong
But I gotta get out
I’m in a rhythm of doubt
I should be back in the fight where I belong
Not stumbling out my window
With your old T-shirt on
And don’t it come around
The wind and the sound
The slant in the room
The piss, the perfume
Always somehow
Can bring me to tears
Whenever combined
With pictures of you
Honeys to my left
And baby’s aright
The less that I have
The more that I find
Them calling me out
And I’m uninspired
Whenever your light
Whispers over mine
And I find bitterness through love
And I find through bitterness true love
And I find bitterness through love
(And coming down she was)
And I find through bitterness true love
And I find bitterness through love
And I find through bitterness true love
Don’t it come around
The wind and the sound
The slant in the room
The piss, the perfume
Always somehow
Can bring me to tears
Whenever combined
With pictures of you
Honeys to my left
And baby’s aright
The less that I have
The more that I find
Them calling me out
And I’m uninspired
Whenever your light
Whispers over mine
And I find bitterness through love
And I find through bitterness true love
And I find bitterness through love
(And coming down she was)
And I find through bitterness true love
And I find bitterness through love
And I find through bitterness true love
