The Case Against Love

from Moon Country by The High Dials

/

lyrics

So much more than love to live for

So much more

You know it, you know it

Make it true
Will you throw your bones upon the pyre,

Or are you tired of tears and funeral smoke?
So much more than love to live for

You know it, make it true
When you are old and live alone

With several cats in a claustrophobic flat,

Will you still dream of silver beams

Of moonlight dripping off your lover’s back?

Will old blue aching skies still scorch your dreams?
Ah, but we both know that for that spell

You’d set up tent in outer hell

And when the goddess comes to call

She’ll knock you off your horse like Paul

To fill her jeweled goblet with your tears
When our star is old and swollen red

When life is dead

Will love have left a trace?

Will the frozen earth call to the sky

And long to die in the arms of outer space?
So much more…

about

The High Dials Montréal, Québec

The High Dials are an indie pop band from Montreal.
While their melodic sensibility, harmonies and jangling guitars owe an obvious debt to the 60s and power pop groups, they also draw upon shoegaze, new wave and folk sounds to create rich and varied albums.
