  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Our lyrics go through a lot of revisions. Sean mails Andrew the originals, then Owen jumps in and the whole gang edits them again and again until the final lyrics are set in stone. But a lot of good parts never make it into the final songs! And the lyric sheets get heavily marked up too. Now, you can have the original lyrics for each song, and get a look at all of the changes they go through. Each one has been painstakingly hand-edited to match the original lyric sheets. Individually hand-numbered edition of 50. Fun stuff!

    Includes unlimited streaming of All Will Be Well & All Will Be Well, etc., etc. via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

When I was six, maybe seven,
Our Dad tore down our swingset.
The swings and slide had rusted,
The day before the yard combusted.
Between piles of compost,
Burying backyard ghosts,
I saw the rotten fence shake
And undulate and break.
Beaten by an unknown force
Coming from our neighbours’ porch.
My Dad yelled trying to duck,
“Hey Fred, hey! What the fuck?”
He climbed the ladder on the slide,
Peering to the other side.

That’s memory to me:
A desperate look, incomplete.
A failing climb toward meaning.

I don’t remember what he saw.
Or if it was anything at all.
We never talked about it.
There was no discussion after.
He stepped down, let out some nervous laughter,
And turned back to his chair,
Running both hands through his hair.

I think Fred moved soon after,
A year before he’d retired.
I heard his wife died in her garden,
And he blamed himself for that.
I don’t even know if he was married,
Or anything about the guilt he carried.

I wanted to ask, but never spoke up.
“Hey Fred, hey! What the fuck?”
