about
Months in the making, this is our magnum opus epic complete with banjo, 80s Goth guitar, home-made choir and borrowed orchestra. Also, our closest-knit lyric collaboration to date: a mystical dissertation on life, love and the crazy art of communication.
lyrics
Cats and dogs are raining
There are tidal waves and earthquakes
But I can feed myself
And I can feed myself
While communicating
There are viruses and updates
Do I delete myself
Do I believe myself
Oh
Stories in the telling
There are lines I want to throw away
Did I repeat myself
Did I repeat myself
Love and sense is making
There are rhymes and time to make mistakes
So I can please myself
If I release myself
Oh
There was a date, an address
And a heightened fear of things that haven’t happened yet
It could be one of those days
It could be one of those nights
Nights, a tender mess
It was a moment to remember what I can’t forget
It could be one of those days
It could be one of those nights
Honeymoon is waning
There are werewolf and vampire tales
But I can scream for help
And I can see myself
Mum and dad were shaming
The scenarios are worst case
But I can free myself
I free myself
There was a date, an address
And a darkened fear of things that haven’t happened yet
It could be one of those days
It could be one of those nights
Nights, some tenderness
It was a moment to remember what I can’t forget
It could be one of those days
It could be one of those nights
