about

I am an incredible wimp, but sometimes I watch The Street Fighter (Sonny Chiba) and swear to God that I was meant for a life of violence and action. This is sort of about the frustrations of living a highly stable and normal life when what you really want to do is throw people out windows.

lyrics

unreliable mechanical eyes
trigger the movement, put it in drive.
i tried to say something i wanted,
the words came out wrong
(as words are wont to do).

[but there are too many songs about love.]

conversations bore me to tears
i run with cutlass in mouth and with plugs in my ears.
my horse is the horse before horses,
this zoo is a zoo and its time to get out of here.

[but there are too many songs about love.]

someone give me a life of action before i croak.
someone give me a life of silence before i croak.

Stumbled across this great band because of Martha the band and I just love their sometimes melancholy garage-sound. Also I like the acoustic songs. I still remember seeing them live in my hometown when they were touring with Erica Freas and asked them for a setlist to have something to remember the great concert. It´s hanging on my wall since that day :) Ninehundredninetynine
