Listen To Your Parents follows Mark, a would-be poet and professional footballer, through the week prior to his big chance – a try out at Villa Park. Mark’s lyrics paint vivid pictures and pose provocative questions: Why does Maria Shah taste of baked beans? Why do preachers shout when Jesus was so relaxed and chilled? Why does Dad hit Mom so hard that you can see her bruises in the dark? As the days pass, Mark’s dreams seem ever harder to grasp.
