parent teacher - WOMEN & CHILDREN EP
brand new ep and video by parent teacher
Release date: 8 December 2023
time to meet patches the pigeon
In February of 2023 we had the unimaginable pleasure to introduce you to Parent Teacher's lo-fi bedroom indie by releasing his debut album Impending Doom. Women & Children featured on that album and we believed it deserved far more time entertaining your ears, so here is something very exciting: Women & Children, the EP!
This 4-track EP has it all; a stroll down memory lane, three brand new songs, teddybears, a pigeon, an eerie music video and a whole lot of record label pride!
Have a listen or snap up a copy.

LYRICS
Women & Children
Everybody’s working
Working for the weekday
Everybody’s searching for time
Never mind the business
Take your time what is this
Just pop a pill to get your thrill and move on
Working for the weekday
Everybody’s searching for time
Never mind the business
Take your time what is this
Just pop a pill to get your thrill and move on
Women and children will die
Women and children will die
Women and children will die
Women and children will die
Women and children will die
Women and children will die
Women and children will die
Sit beside the sadness
Take a stride with gladness
Lie to yourself to make it through and move on
Never look back never walk away
Only move ahead because you know you got to get paid
Take a stride with gladness
Lie to yourself to make it through and move on
Never look back never walk away
Only move ahead because you know you got to get paid
Women and children will die
Women and children will die
Women and children will die
Women and children will die
Women and children will die
Women and children will die
Women and children will die
Often we’re not ready to die
Often we’re time selling to climb
Often we’re time selling to climb
Women and children will die
(never look back)
Women and children will die
(never walk away)
Women and children will die
(never look back)
Women and children will die
(never walk away)
Women and children will die
Life Insurance
Everybody needs a little life insurance on
the little lambs delivered while the beat goes on
When the body breaks the giver
of the river’s song
Consider seasons never end
when you’re not home
the little lambs delivered while the beat goes on
When the body breaks the giver
of the river’s song
Consider seasons never end
when you’re not home
Who’s gonna pay
gonna see into the day
danger’s on it’s never fun
Who’s gonna pray
gonna save enough one day
will come when you are gone
gonna see into the day
danger’s on it’s never fun
Who’s gonna pray
gonna save enough one day
will come when you are gone
When the party meets the lobby
when the lights come on
When the sobby tears are falling
Time to pay the sum
when the lights come on
When the sobby tears are falling
Time to pay the sum
Crazy day the labor of today
dangers on the faded ones
So hard to say it's not enough to stay
the way you always were
dangers on the faded ones
So hard to say it's not enough to stay
the way you always were
The meaning of forever protected
Override the setting sun
The letting go is never corrected
Often now and now and then
The meaning of forever protected
The letting go is never corrected
Often now and now and then
The meaning of forever protected
Override the setting sun
The letting go is never corrected
Often now and now and then
The meaning of forever protected
The letting go is never corrected
Often now and now and then
The meaning of forever protected
Social Discourse
I’m a crass one
I’m the fast one
I’m the last one to be named
Ain't no glory
In this story
Ain't no tiger to be tamed
You’re just like them
You confide when
You can hide inside the sand
Pick a side then
To decide when
Find a timeline you can stand
I’m the fast one
I’m the last one to be named
Ain't no glory
In this story
Ain't no tiger to be tamed
You’re just like them
You confide when
You can hide inside the sand
Pick a side then
To decide when
Find a timeline you can stand
Hold me down
Ain't no frown in the sound
Ain't no frown in the sound
He’s the brash one
He’s the sad son
He’s the last one to be saved
Keep it quiet
Don't deny it
Ain't no fire to be made
Sing a fast song
Sing a sing along
Keep it moving through through the brain
Don't you try it or deny it cause it's those that we defame
He’s the sad son
He’s the last one to be saved
Keep it quiet
Don't deny it
Ain't no fire to be made
Sing a fast song
Sing a sing along
Keep it moving through through the brain
Don't you try it or deny it cause it's those that we defame
Hold me down
Ain't no frown in the sound
Ain't no frown in the sound
Patches the Pigeon
Cute little bird
Gray and white spots fly
Outside my window
Asking for lunchtime
Gray and white spots fly
Outside my window
Asking for lunchtime
Patches the pigeon
She knows how to live
Outside my kitchen
My little pigeon kid
She knows how to live
Outside my kitchen
My little pigeon kid
Patches gets nervous
When all the pigeons come
But she has a purpose
For seed and bread and sun
When all the pigeons come
But she has a purpose
For seed and bread and sun
Patches she flies far away
Off on a mission to come back the next day
Patches the pigeon
Patches the pigeon
Patches the pigeon
Patches the pigeon
Off on a mission to come back the next day
Patches the pigeon
Patches the pigeon
Patches the pigeon
Patches the pigeon
Cute little bird
Gray and white spots fly
Outside my window
Asking for lunchtime
Gray and white spots fly
Outside my window
Asking for lunchtime
Patches the pigeon
She flies far away
Off on a mission
To come back the next day
She flies far away
Off on a mission
To come back the next day
Gray and white spots fly
Patches the pigeon
Patches the pigeon
Patches the pigeon
Gray and white spots fly
