about
Leeds alt-pop duo Lucky Iris release their new single ‘oh no (i guess i did it again)’, a defiant, pop punk open letter exposing the ugly reality of following the beautiful game for women and LGBTQIA+ supporters.
Words from Maeve: “When you think football fan, you probably don’t think of me... but that’s the issue I think. Football has always been pushed as an inclusive sport, crossing so many barriers, an unspoken language to many, THE beautiful game. Except there are barriers... for women and queer people alike. I’ve done my hours of listening to every football podcast I could get my hands on but still when I opened my mouth people didn’t want to hear it. Enter ‘oh no (i guess i did it again)’ referencing me giving my many seemingly unwanted opinions on all things football, to people who really didn’t want to hear it. At all. In the wake of Olivia Rodrigo and an Avril Lavigne comeback, this is the Lucky Iris take on pop punk but trade skating for football and Canada for Leeds.”
Written and produced by the band, mixed by Richard Wilkinson (Adele, Kaiser Chiefs) and mastered by Antony Ryan (Oh Wonder), ‘oh no (i guess i did it again)’ is the second single from Lucky Iris’ forthcoming EP ‘maybe i’m too much’ which is set for release in July. Much of the accompanying music video was shot at OOF Gallery located in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
lyrics
Lyrics:
You want a dream girl
But you’re so far from a dream
You’re on a planet that I never, ever, ever want to see
That I never want to see
But I won’t let you see my tears
This is harder on me than on you
But you already think I’m weak
You don’t need a reason to
Let me give a reason to
Let me be a reason to
Oh no
I guess I did it again
Oh no
Opened my mouth again
Oh no
I guess I did it again
Oh no, oh no
Oh no (oh no)
I guess I did it again
Oh no (oh no)
Opened my mouth again
Oh no (oh no)
I guess I did it
Give me all the dirty looks you like
You know that I will do it again
Don’t want a real girl
You want one you see on the screen
She doesn’t talk back
But in your dreams you’re making her scream
But you could never make her scream
But I won’t let you see my fears
This is harder on me than on you
But you’re already mocking me
You don’t need a reason to
Let me give a reason to
Let me be a reason to
Oh no
I guess I did it again
Oh no
Opened my mouth again
Oh no
I guess I did it again
Oh no, oh no
Oh no (oh no)
I guess I did it again
Oh no (oh no)
Opened my mouth again
Oh no (oh no)
I guess I did it
Give me all the dirty looks you like
You know that I will do it again
It’s sad, I just came here for a pint
And I, wanted to have a good time
And I, think that you came here for a fight
And I, really wanted to have a nice night
It’s sad, I just came here for a pint
And I, thought we could have a really really nice night
Oh I just came here for a fight
And I think we’re gunna fight
And I guess we’re gunna fight cuz
Oh no
I guess I did it again
Oh no
Opened my mouth again
Oh no
I guess I did it again
Oh no, oh no
Oh no (oh no)
I guess I did it again
Oh no (oh no)
Opened my mouth again
Oh no (oh no)
I guess I did it
Give me all the dirty looks you like
You know that I will do it again
