BILLY NOMATES – Escape Artist

Billy Nomates is the stage name of Tor Maries, a British singer-songwriter known for her raw, minimalist music blending elements of punk, post-punk, and folk with socially conscious lyrics. Originally from Leicestershire, England, she rose to prominence with her self-titled debut album in 2020, released on the label Invada Records (co-founded by Geoff Barrow of Portishead). Her music often tackles themes like alienation, modern life, and personal resilience, delivered with a sharp wit and emotional depth.

{Verse 1} Train ride is ugly Iʼm feelin nothing Yeah you’re a pro ’cause it doesnʼt drag you round by your ears Like it does me Tell you Iʼm envious of that ass kissing stamina of yours Well I canʼt keep up By Monday eveninʼ Iʼm on all fours

{Chorus} Half dead by a Wednesday afternoon Nothing remarkable says you Nothing remarkable says who Find me in the corner of any room Looking for exits, looking for exits Looking for exits, looking for exits

{Verse 2} Health and safety video just kill me now ‘Cause I donʼt believe in this ladder you say is mine to climb Nothing here belongs to me This wheel just spins regardless of whoʼs turn it is to spin it Tuesday is paralyzing

{Chorus} Half dead by a Wednesday afternoon Nothing remarkable says you Nothing remarkable says who Find me in the corner of any room Looking for exits, looking for exits Looking for exits, looking for exits

{Outro} Looking for exits, looking for exits Get me outta here Drag me outta this hellhole I’m not here for this Get me outta here Drag me outta this hellhole I’m not here for this Get me outta here Drag me outta this hellhole I’m not here for this
