Ah, it must've been hell babe to cross me off your list.
I know you got scared and lonesome standing in the shadow I cast.
I had your heart in chains till the landscape started to fade.
If you were restless you should've said that from the start.
Come hell or high water, you did all you could.
Turn the page now - you tried every trick in the book.
Well, I made you a promise out in the marching rains.
But when I gave you my tomorrows maybe I shot before I took aim.
You wanted time to breathe. You got all the time you need.
I release you from these chains, you're free to leave.
Come hell or high water, you did all you could.
Turn the page now - you tried every trick in the book.
So turn around now. Let's have one last look.
We tried every trick in the book.

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
