Don't You Worry About Me

from No More Chasing by Abi Moore

about

If this album is Abi’s most experimental, then she really puts her money where her mouth is on Don’t You Worry About Me, showing how far she’s willing to go to flip genres and sow the seeds of musical change. Referencing the British trait of saying you’re fine when you’re not (“I serve my tea with a stiff upper lip everyday,”) Abi’s uninhibited lyrics show a wry sense of humour, delivered with a playful sarcasm and the slow, longing and loose heaviness of her earworm electric guitar riffage.

lyrics

I heard you’re asking if I’m alright
You know I’m English, so I’m perfectly fine
I serve my tea with a stiff upper lip every day
So I’m ok

My European side isn’t so good
I feel a panic rising up in my blood
I’d cry, scream, wail, beat my chest every day if I could
And maybe I should

Chorus
But I just gotta keep my head down
Don’t you worry about me
I just gotta hold my nerve
Don’t you worry about me (don’t you worry ‘bout me)
I just gotta serve my time
Don’t you worry about me
I just gotta keep my head down, hold my nerve and serve my time
Til I’m free to get back to me
So don’t you worry about me
Don’t you worry ‘bout me

And as for you, I wonder if you’re okay
Or do you swim through treacle every day
And pull your teeth out one by one in defeat
Or is that just me?

Chorus
I just gotta keep my head down
Don’t you worry about me
I just gotta hold my nerve
Don’t you worry about me (don’t you worry ‘bout me)
I just gotta serve my time
Don’t you worry about me
I just gotta keep my head down, hold my nerve and serve my time
Til I’m free to get back to me
So don’t you worry about me
Don’t you worry ‘bout me

I’m the girl made out of stone
Whatever’s thrown won’t break my bones, no, no
I can drape my magic cape around my shoulders and escape
Woah, woah

Chorus
I just gotta keep my head down
Don’t you worry about me
I just gotta hold my nerve
Don’t you worry about me (don’t you worry ‘bout me)
I just gotta serve my time
Don’t you worry about me
I just gotta keep my head down, hold my nerve and serve my time
Til I’m free to get back to me
So don’t you worry about me
Don’t you worry ‘bout me

Abi Moore UK

Americana / Roots-Rock artist from Nottingham. Abi's 4th studio album No More Chasing marks a raucous return after 10 years.

"Impactful, gritty, & above all, brimming with conviction. Abi's stripped back, stomp 'n' holler sound instantly took us to KT Tunstall, while her rootsy, distorted Americana guitar twangs have a delicious White Stripes flavour." RCM
