about

“On first listen, Thief probably sounds like it's about one person - one love lost - but it's actually built up of a thousand memories of times I fucked up. All the mistakes I keep on making. All the times I've hurt or been hurt. Pretty much every line is about someone different but the narrative remains the same: I'll always be a thief and I'll always run away from problems"

lyrics

When I was young, I was a thief
I used to steal my mother’s keys
I ran away from everything
Way back then

I wish that I could run right now
Instead I’m sitting in your house
And I’m trying to be happy for you
Both of you

She has become me
And I’m clutching memories
The ones I used to own
My heart’s a timebomb
My pulse is counting down
I’ve got to get out
Out of here x4

Remember when I heard you sing
In the car that I lived in?
Your heavy breath in the summer heat
Sugar sweet

And it was all too easy to ignore
That you were never mine at all
They told me “give it time and It’ll stop hurting”
But it just makes it worse, no, it isn’t working

So like a child, I’ll run and hide
Try to leave this all behind
I’ll drive so far away from here
I disappear

Some things are certain
And I’ll always be a thief
I’ll always choose to run

Run from here (x4)
If you could turn back
If you could start again
Do you think you’d change anything?

Cos some things are certain
I’ll always be a thief
I’ll always choose to run
Run, from here.

MOLLYANNA Sheffield, UK

Singer Bernadette Dales and guitarist Mike Hukins have stitched together their disparate and contradictory influences to form rock music that is at once wild, vulnerable and volatile.
With the help of bassist Joshua Roberts, they have developed into an alt-rock band unlike any other. Their music is for the outsiders - those on the fringes with a story to tell. ... more
