UGH!

“UGH!” covers Matty’s comedown from a cocaine high and its side effects, as well as how he tries to quit using coke and fails. In an interview with The Guardian in 2013, Healy admitted to being a “coke addict” at one point in his life. The song premiered as Zane Lowe’s World Record on Beats 1 Radio on Thursday, December 10th, 2015. Frontman Matty Healy described it as “something that goes back to the early foundation of how we write music as The 1975.“ Healy also told KROQ that the expression of the song’s title is intended to be "an understated disappointment.” “UGH!” appears on The 1975’s sophomore album I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it. The official lyrics were posted to the band’s Twitter on the day of the song’s premiere.

[Verse 1] Hey, boy, stop pacing 'round the room Using other people's faces as a mirror for you I know your lungs need filling Since your gums have lost their feeling But don't say that you're giving it up again "Do you have a card? My irregular heart beat is starting to correct itself" It's just a simple diarrhetic that prevents the empathetic From being just and giving it up [Chorus] And you're the only thing that's going on in my mind Taking over my life a second time I don't have the capacity for fucking You're meant to be helping me When I said I liked it better without my money, I lied It took a little while to recognize that I, I'm not giving it up again [Verse 2] This conversation's not about reciprocation no more But I'm gon' wait until you finish so I can talk some more About me and my things, my car, my living And how I'm giving it up, giving it up again [Chorus] And you're the only thing that's going on in my mind Taking over my life a second time I don't have the capacity for fucking You're meant to be helping me When I said I liked it better without my money, I lied It took a little while to recognize that I, I'm not giving it up again [Bridge] Oh, the kick won't last for long, but the song only lasts 3 minutes I think I've lost my phone, so won't you call it up for me? Oh, the kick won't last for long, but the song only lasts 3 minutes And I know it's wrong, but give me one [Chorus] And you're the only thing that's going on in my mind Taking over my life a second time I don't have the capacity for fucking You're meant to be helping me When I said I liked it better without my money, I lied It took a little while to recognize that I, I'm not giving it up again [Outro] I'm not giving it up, I'm not giving it up I'm not giving it up, I'm not giving it up I'm not giving it up, giving it up I'm not giving it up, giving it up!
