![]() Tamer Animals (2011) [ larger cover art ] |
Solitary motion, in the wake of an avalanche
Deer in the headlights, there goes a weaker one
He's listenin' in the fast gaze, I don't care now to see the way
Do you hear the silence? I was far too late
Oh living for the city, and it's always troubling
to keep it in the hot lane, I don't care about no scenery
and you run from it then, now you can't escape, cause it's all you see
But we're all just an end to a simple thing, and it's all you see, and it's all you see
We're just tamer animals
We're just tamer animals
Solitary motion, in the wake of an avalanche
We too ka hit then, trying to see if you hold it in
and you run from it then, now you can't escape, cause it's all you see
But we're all just an end to a simple thing, and it's all you see, and it's all you see
We're just tamer animals
We're just tamer animals
We're just tamer animals
Deer in the headlights, there goes a weaker one
He's listenin' in the fast gaze, I don't care now to see the way
Do you hear the silence? I was far too late
Oh living for the city, and it's always troubling
to keep it in the hot lane, I don't care about no scenery
and you run from it then, now you can't escape, cause it's all you see
But we're all just an end to a simple thing, and it's all you see, and it's all you see
We're just tamer animals
We're just tamer animals
Solitary motion, in the wake of an avalanche
We too ka hit then, trying to see if you hold it in
and you run from it then, now you can't escape, cause it's all you see
But we're all just an end to a simple thing, and it's all you see, and it's all you see
We're just tamer animals
We're just tamer animals
We're just tamer animals

| justin4kick (The Netherlands) | Posted: Sep 19, 2012 - 12:37 For how long can you repeat the same brilliant chorus without getting boring. Not much longer than this. |

| Shesdifferent (Just visiting this planet) | Posted: Aug 11, 2012 - 17:48 Liking this as a tag on a great set. Would like to hear more. |
| jjspring (Apex, NC) | Posted: Aug 02, 2012 - 16:07 I like this.... Bill has done it again! |
| aspicer (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Jul 27, 2012 - 06:09 Just bought this disc - Quite good overall! Very much in the same vein as this song- moody mellow and interesting. Worth a peek..... |
| Easyrider (Portugal) | Posted: Jul 18, 2012 - 14:27 Intrigued to know what the rest of the album sounds,go on and play a few more tracks,Bill😉 |
| Easyrider (Portugal) | Posted: Jul 11, 2012 - 07:20 Hmmm like this,nice production. |
| clwguy | Posted: Jul 11, 2012 - 07:20 They sound a lot like the National. Definitely not a bad thing. |

Their sound was a lot "bolder" live than on CD, just based on what I've heard. Kind of like The Fleet Foxes on steroids. But based on what I heard, an excellent band. Great post! Thank you. |
