How Florence Shaw mastered the delivery of nonsense lyricism, and why nobody can copy itLyrics can make or break a song, and quite often, the more relatable they are, the more long-term impact they’re going to have. And yet, these are just a handful of the mundane things that Dry Cleaning’s Florence Shaw has referenced over the course of three albums and three EPs with the London art punk outfit. They’re boring, but they don’t just work; they’re somehow spellbinding windows into someone else’s stream of consciousness thought process. If it works for Shaw, surely it can work for someone who is infinitely more successful and arguably more highly regarded? The lyrics of Dry Cleaning are endlessly relatable, quotable, and boring, and they couldn’t be better for it.
