a handsome boy tries to behave
and act a way beyond his age
and leave a mark so people say
‘what was his name? what was his name?’
I can see him standing there
with crooked teeth and curly hair
a face drawn in a solemn stare
as clear as day as clear as day
=
a patient man casts off the frame
that holds him straight and on his legs,
propertied, and living grave.
he lies awake he lies awake
and worries ‘bout mistakes he’s made
and if he should have played it safe
romantic thoughts are thought too late
thought too late, thought too late
=
to sleep’s no use
no sweeter
than dreams confused
by fever
=
when I can’t sleep my mind will race
past people standing round my bed
through empty halls where I’m chased
I move my legs, move my legs
and hope to hear a tender word
to make me think of something good
like happy kids locked in embrace
lie face to face to face to face
=
a worried heart
lives alone lives alone

The album is very good overall, hate to pick just one song, could easily have gone with Float The Flood or Jolt The Amplifier. For the uninitiated, their music seems influenced by Sleater/Kinney and Throwing Muses. Having seen them live recently, got a glimpse of some new material, definitely looking forward to more from them in the years to come :) pepc72
