lyrics

SAID I’M LEAVING THIS TIME FOR REAL
AND I SHUT THE DOOR
BUT YOU DIDN’T FOLLOW ME
LIKE THE TIMES BEFORE
CLIMBED THE TOP OF A LADDER
TO GET A LOOK FROM THIS HEIGHT
USED TO SAY I’D NEVER DARE
BUT THIS TIME I MIGHT
AND TOO LATE TO CHANGE MY MIND
‘CAUSE NOW MY HANDS ARE TIED
COULD BE MAKING A MISTAKE
SO I HOPE THIS ROPE MIGHT BREAK
I PROBABLY KEPT YOU UP ALL NIGHT
AND WHEN YOU GOT THE NEWS
YOUR FACE TURNED WHITE
AND TOO LATE TO CHANGE MY MIND
‘CAUSE NOW MY HANDS ARE TIED
THINK I’M MAKING A MISTAKE
AND NOW I’M KEEPING YOU AWAKE
AND TELEPHONE CALLS CROSS TOWN
TILL SOMEBODY COMES TO CUT ME DOWN
AND YOU CAN’T CHANGE A THING
SO NOW I’LL ALWAYS SWING
AND DON’T HANG YOUR HEAD IN SHAME
‘CAUSE THEY WON’T PRINT MY NAME

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
