Bill Ryder-Jones – This Can’t Go On

English singer-songwriter and former member of The Coral, Bill Ryder-Jones, released This Can’t Go On via Domino Recordings on January 12, 2024. The song is included in his fifth solo studio album Iechyd Da.

“It’s been incredible making this,” he says. “Despite all the life stuff that’s happened, it has brought me immense happiness. I’ve always railed against it when people ask if making a record is cathartic but I’d have to admit that this one really was.”

Ryder-Jones produced and mixed the record. Stream it here.

Lyrics:

I walked all night to The Killing Moon
Got to get it right, got to get it right and soon
I feel a little better, but I’m off on one
Got to get myself together because this can’t go on
God, everything’s clear when I need my dad, dad, dad
I’m feeling like a little boy
I feel a little better, but I’m off on one
Got to get myself together because this can’t go on
I wanna go for walks or drive a car
I want some kids, I wanna be your dog
I wanna bag and there’s no harm looking
I wanna fuck, I need a bit of looking after
I want it right, but I need the fun, fun, fun
I feel like a little boy
You’ve got to get outside, go get some sun
Got to get yourself together because this can’t go on
Got to get outside, got to get some sun
Get yourself together because this can’t go on
Get outside, got to get some sun
Get myself together because this can’t go on
