LEATHER

Take off your hands and reset the chain
Pills in mouth and runs on your stained sweater
My lipstick on your boot leather is still the same
Hairline pushed back and resewn again
Acid washed boys with boots for their men
I'm better, I bought myself some new leather to wear again
Fall down runoff is nothing to trace
Take off ribbons and polish your face with feathers
Or anything to feel better about yourself

Never really said what it's for
Scraping my guts off of the floor
Pulling hairs and blowing the glass
Days going by are not as fast
Turn your TV off
Try to drown that mind
Give it time to think
Adjustments for the ride
Take the flower inside your head
Empty your body through the thread
Realized I'm not older again
Getting caught up inside the bend

RUBBER DAD

I've been drinking too much of your champagne
You came home and taught me to play the game
My rubber dad never was bad
Taught me to drag

I saw you yesterday, but you never know
The only time we dance is when it starts to snow
And if you want to break my heart my dear
Break me today, it's not my year
And if you want to break my parts and gears
Break me today and dry the tears
You've always tried to hide the blood from your hands
A beggars banquet since the time I could stand
And if you want to open up and see
Oil your eyes, it's fine by me
And if you want to dry your hands and grieve
Release these belts and set me free

You found me
Lying in the waves
But I'm no good
I know what
I'm no good for me
But I'm no good
I think should
I'm no good to be

No room for hours
Time to sew me back into the wall
Watch my mucus turn to flowers
Should have felt that fracture in my jaw
Take me back to bed I'm aching
Probably shouldn't try to walk again
Bring me to a room that's vacant
Better off just sleeping in the end
But should have known me better than before
My benihana dabs are on the floor
The best time that you thought I'd ever have
When falling to my death was not so bad
I'm in bloom, a shell to open
Leaking lucid liquids from my mouth
And I'm still sad my toys are broken
Since most of them are lost inside my house

Just take the mortar from the market, you should have bought it
Use some of it to fill your holes and use the rest to plug your sockets
It's not enough to use the glues that you've been aching just to break in
Because when your head is underwater, there's nothing you can take in
You said to never let the level get beneath your headstalk
So you can go back to your living when life was just a breadwalk
And when you say its worth it
Something that I can barely see
And then you tear my legs
And plant them underneath your knees
And when you say its worth it
For me to hang around and bleed
And then you tear my legs
And plant them underneath your knees

Pain kills
Pain works
Pain fills
Pain lurks
I don't want to leave
But I know it's the way

The world has decided to curl up and fold on my feet
My heart's dipped in pitch again
The last of my cowboys have already up and left town
Hungry for God and surprised that they still need a friend
Turn out the lights so that we can tune in and drop out
It's easier to be alone
The last of my cowboys have already up and left town
With dirt on their face to a place that we've all seen before

POMEGRANATE

But I'm tapped
The welling in my eyes in back
To see
That I've been using it to clean my teeth
But I'm tapped
I never thought that it'd be back
To see
That the blood's already to my knees

This is the kind of wonderful scratchy-guitar post-punk with accented British vocals that would have been on a Rough Trade compilation around 1979. RIYL: The Jam, Wire, Dogs.

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!!
