about

Little Tea Cup is a sweet, partly ethereal walk through the short story of a trusting youth arriving in the big smoke, falling in love, and the inevitable tragedy that follows. Life lessons.
This demo was recorded live.

lyrics

A little boy went to the city
To find what dreams are made of
No one told him that pretty faces
Can't be leaned on
So he made sure to ruin it right
He made sure to ruin it right
In a tea cup
The storm's up
That's life
Shake up all the city lights
It's a tea cup
Your time's up
That's life
Shake your fist at the city lights
A little girl made him a fitting
A lover for a little while
Graceful but terrible at quitting
And colourful kids are fragile
So she made sure to ruin it right
She made sure to ruin it right
In a tea cup
The storm's up
That's life
Shake your fist at the city lights
It's a tea cup
Your time's up
That's life
Shake your fist at the city lights
She found him
Crying in the street
Told him baby it's time to leave
He found her
Drying in the street
Told her baby the light won't be
In a tea cup
The storm's up
Your life
Shake your fist at the city lights
In a tea cup
Your time's up
That's life
Shake your fist at the city lights
