lyrics

If you wonder where The Beatles played on Savile Row
I can guarantee you now that he won't know
At the pop quiz (oh-oh-oh-oh)
He's rubbish at the pop quiz (oh-oh-oh-oh)

Don't bother asking him who sang "Come On Eileen"
He doesn't know, that's why I don't want him on my team
At the pop quiz (oh-oh-oh-oh)
He's rubbish at the pop quiz (oh-oh-oh-oh)

The prize money we could win you'll never see
He'll make us look bad, don't do this to me
Why you'd want him with us is a mystery
He knows nothing about pop history

He thought Donna Summer was a singer in The Supremes
Don't suggest he'd be an asset to our team
At the pop quiz (oh-oh-oh-oh)
He's rubbish at the pop quiz (oh-oh-oh-oh)

With all the rolling, my eyeballls are getting fatigue
He thought there really was a waitress in The Human League
At the pop quiz (oh-oh-oh-oh)
He's rubbish at the pop quiz (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Rubbish at the pop quiz (oh-oh-oh-oh)
He's rubbish at the pop quiz (oh-oh-oh-oh)

He's rubbish at the pop quiz
So rubbish at the pop quiz
He's rubbish at the pop quiz
So rubbish at the pop quiz

about

The Photocopies Michigan

Unapologetically old-school #indiepop in a mid-80s-to-early-90s vein, made without secret plans to fill stadiums (ugh). Think lo-fi #c86 #twee #postpunk #janglepop etc. Originally from London.

The greatest to ever do it, do it again! Sometimes lush as a warm blanket, sometimes all the angles of a dance party, always suspended in and out of time _hopskipjump
