An ugly reunion between
Everyone who has ever done me wrong
And now that David’s gone, it's a fitting gesture
The funeral didn’t feel a thing like him
I think maybe just to spite him
This is the sound of a life lived underbound
Splitting at the seams, seeping into the muck underneath
The wake feels more authentic
The blood up the walls
The calls for immediate supplies
It's hardly a surprise when Big bursts in
To deliver reserves and say a few words
Not one of them nice
Went direct from the beds to the box, burnt black in both
What seemed sinister at the time, now seems cloying at most
So I’d like to make a toast to all the backhand decisions
self-serving deals and deep, deluded visions
Of something that never existed and probably never will
But I suppose the further you go man, the more intensely you feel
That you’re owed something better for the smidge of effort that you put in
And I put in so little, It only takes a fraction to go all in
So give me your PIN man, and I’ll get out the cash
I know a man, man. independent, no strings attached
What Big doesn’t know won't hurt us at all
Because when you’re knee deep in it
It's really not that far to fall
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
