So many stories have been told
About kings and queens and their gold
About a hero who saves the world
About men who fought in a war
But you should know my good friend sometimes pens do a trick
It might tell you one way but with the hint to look the other way
It’s a tricky world after all you have got to be on your toes oh yea
You have got to be on your toes, or they will push you to fall
Sometimes I don’t know
Sometimes I can not see
But they know
They can see
They’ll put me behind the bars
Dig me deep baby Dig me deep
From white tower of power comes no roses it’s all thorns
You better pay your dues my friend
Or they’ll put you behind the walls, behind the bars
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
