![]() Swoon (2009) [ larger cover art ] |
There's a vulture perching right offscreen
And it's bitter and whispers chaotic things
And the weeps turn quick into bullying
It's so easy to see everyone can agree stop listening
I know you've heard it before
But then it wasn't enough
You don't want to be held back from the substitution
I know you've seen this before
And now enough is too much
You don't want to be set back when the substitution comes
I'm sorry
You're a marionette in the center of
The twisting of strings coming from above
It may seem too deep to recover from
It's so easy to see everyone can agree just let it go
I know you've heard it before
But then it wasn't enough
You don't want to be held back from the substitution
I know you've seen this before
And now enough is too much
You don't want to be set back when the substitution comes
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
When the voices start spitting just be aware
I've brought enough stones for us to share
That one's grinning, that one's burning aim for the throat
Let 'em choke on the stones that we have to throw
It's the great downfall
The big overthrow
If we shoot them down
It'll make you soar
When reactions turn into hurricanes
And the middle ground seems a little tame
Whether full or empty, it's all the same
It's so easy to see everyone can agree you're not to blame
I know you've heard it before
But then it wasn't enough
You don't want to be held back from the substitution
I know you've seen this before
But now enough is too much
You don't want to be set back when the substitution comes
I'm sorry

| Segue (Almost Paradise) | Posted: Feb 06, 2013 - 22:16 Really liked this band until I saw Charles Manson singing. Now it's just creepy. |

I never thought before that this singer's voice was breathy or could be considered annoying. I like this song just the way it is. For me, a solid 8 |

| Dyn0hub | Posted: Nov 18, 2012 - 17:28 The singer is way too breathy. Dislike. |

| Lichenia, (uk) | Posted: Oct 18, 2012 - 08:57 My hobbies fav at the moment and it's growing on me too |
| Biscobret (Vashon, WA) | Posted: Oct 04, 2012 - 11:41 Never heard of them - I like it a lot - reminds me of Heatmeiser. |

| Bacadiar (((Detroit))) | Posted: Aug 16, 2012 - 08:01 I always think of "Wraith Pinned To The Mist And Other Games" by Of Montreal when I hear this song. |
| lily34 (lexvegas) | Posted: Aug 16, 2012 - 07:58 damn, the guitar at first made me think this was a stones song. |

| ziakut (Right Here) | Posted: Aug 02, 2012 - 11:41 VERY GOOD. |
| ERERER | Posted: Aug 02, 2012 - 11:40 Like it, but kinda getting tired of it. |

Another band I'd never have even got a sniff of if not for RP. Agreed. Great album, nice flow. CG's drumming really keeps it together and propels it, along with BA's driving distorted guitar! |
| jagdriver (Just a nod and a wink south of Paradise) | Posted: Jul 25, 2012 - 11:20 If only they had a different singer. (Steve Perry and Jon Anderson need not apply.) |
| stevendejong | Posted: Jun 19, 2012 - 03:51 Another example of how a singer can completely ruin a song for me. His voice sounds suitable enough for one of those teenage bands. The song isn't bad, but can't stand it :-) |
| musikalia (Somewhere (over the rainbow)) | Posted: Jun 04, 2012 - 03:41 I don't even necessarily dislike this song or band. But I don't feel they need to be played multiple times each day as they are. ![]() |

| jt1 | Posted: May 03, 2012 - 09:50 seems to remind me of several bands, some of which I can't remember the names of right now (old age?)...but despite that, or perhaps because of it I quite like this on first listen. |

A lot of people used to say the same about Billy Corrigan. I think these guys try to emulate the Pumpkins. It's a good thing. I don't think they are in the same league though. But they are pretty good. |
