lyrics

Life can be so long
It stretches thin
I stretched mine out to fit you in
It's getting crowded with lovers, enemies and friends
And people let you down
They will jump ship
The moment they hear the hull's been hit
I will go down inside my deep-sea diving kit

But you, but you are always welcome
A few, so few and very seldom
Stick around until the end

We get on, we get on, we get on
Just like a house on fire
When they're gone, when they're gone
I hope you're still around

Life can be so long
It stretches wide
I stretched mine out to fit you inside
It's getting crowded with everyone who had passed by

But you, but you are always welcome
A few, so few and very seldom
Stick around until the end

We get on, we get on, we get on
Just like a house on fire
When they're gone, when they're gone
I hope you're still around

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