Cartoon Breakup

lyrics

I know when the good is gone

I hear people say move on

‘Cause our words are like weapons drawn

Is it swords or pistols at dawn?

Well, come on then, let’s divide the map

Does heaven really cut in half?

Then I’ll settle in the eastern lands

Near some mountain in my memory
But I hear the old song you sing

And I hear the tune that plays on your strings

Oh, and it’s echoing, answering

Echoing, answering

Echoing, answering

Echoing, answering
I have seen the wolf that sleeps in your dreams

You’ve dropped stones at the bed of my stream

We have sat on the banks now it seems

For a week or a century

We have died and come back so very often

Let’s just leave the latch off the coffin,

Share a joke, raise a glass at the gallows

With the hangman, our old friend
‘Cause I hear the old song you sing

And I hear the tune that plays on your strings

Oh, and it’s echoing, answering

Echoing, answering

Echoing, answering

Echoing, answering

Their most recent album “Primitive Feelings” is a predatory summer mix of lo-fi grooves, acid rock guitars and razor-sharp humour. ... more
