lyrics

I walk from the shade straight to the shade
I sleep where my bed’s made
When you’re down you’re mean as hell
and you don’t treat me very well
but I know how to lay my cards down when my hand is played
I may wake up in the early morning
when the dew on leaves is slowly forming but I might go on back to bed
before a single word is said
I've been known to lay back down without a warning
I felt my enthusiasm fade
and I watched my capacities degrade
Regardless of the price I’ve paid
the things I couldn’t give away
are usually what I tried to sell or trade
I may wear you out and try your patience
I vexed you when we met and every day since
but we can pass the time each day
without too much to do or say
don’t listen when they tell you that you've wed below your station
I learned some things by simple trial and error
which things delight and which things only scare her
A patient love, precious as gold
Buddy you had better know
when to leave and when to grin and bear her
I felt my enthusiasm fade
and I’ve watched my capacities degrade
regardless of the price I’ve paid
the things I couldn’t give away
are usually what I tried to sell or trade

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

Bright gray sheets of roaring and shimmering guitar held aloft by a delicate web of percussion. Post-rock, shoegaze, psych- rock and hints of bluesy folk, all audible and enmeshed. IlsaJ
