lyrics

Summer of Hell

Your cousin sings a song
of a generation dead not gone
Drunk in a summer haze,
terror comes to me in waves

Shut the door, this is love and war
How do I know that you are no enemy?
Please believe we are gonna bleed
for a paradise we’re not gonna see

Carve our shame into the trees,
but don’t come to me on bended knee
And if you know this tune too well,
be a friend and never tell

When your cigarette burns blister
and there’s no end to July,
tell the friends you’ve never met
that your well has all run dry
Wear a costume of composure
when I say I never will
love you like you love me,
but oh you love me still

You can write it down for somedays
that you know will never come,
when you’re tired of playing poor
and I’m tired of playing young
Never mind the coming judgment,
the end’s not mine to tell
I will always be there laughing
in your summertime of hell

Still Life

Remember how Bill Murray woke up to I Got You Babe every day in Groundhog Day? If that song would have been Made Of Moods, he at the very least experienced three and a half perfect minutes each day. It’s one of those songs that I enjoy each and every second of, with it’s jangly guitars and hushed vocals that almost have a Beach Boys vibe, especially in the verse. Truly, it’s a song for the ages. But the best news about Still Life is that it offers eleven additional underground pop gems. Niek || Add To Wantlist
