about this song
Many of Dry Cleaning frontwoman Florence Shaw's lyrics come from her writing shards of odd poetry in a notebook of lined paper. This song finds the singer frustrated with life, so she resorts to simple pleasures as escapist experiences. They include bouncy balls, a favorite band, theme parks, and scratchcards. Shaw described "Scratchcard Lanyard" to Rolling Stone as a revenge fantasy. "It's feeling quite pissed off and fatigued with the roles you're asked to fulfill as a woman past the age of 30," she said.
