lyrics

Poke at the fire
I’m the upsetter
It’s getting tired
I’m never better
You can’t imagine that I’m not ready
How many times did you have to up and say it?

I pick up the phone
Forgot your number
I had it on speed dial
I shouldn't have deleted it yesterday
Yeah, shouldn’t have deleted it yesterday

But I only got so many hours before I wake up
And the clock on the nightstand says old man do you agree?
And I’d hit it but I guess I could just say politely
Could you see your way clear to give me just ten more minutes of grace?
It’s got nothing to say

Poke at the fire
I’m the upsetter
Too many lines
I won’t forget ‘em

Pick up the phone
I’ll call your number
Bang on the wall
I did the same damn thing yesterday
Yeah, yesterday

But I only got so many hours ‘til I get to it
And the writing on my hand says don’t you agree?
All the words and promises never sounded better
Could you see your way clear to give me just another decade of grace?
It’s got nothing to say

Gonna do it yesterday
Yeah I’ll do it yesterday

I pick up the phone
To call your number
Had it on speed dial
I shouldn't have deleted it yesterday
Yeah, yesterday

But I only got so many hours before I get up
And the sign on the ceiling says old man don’t you agree?
And I’d hit it but I bet I could never get it
All the numbers and the letters
They keep reminding me

Gonna do it yesterday
Yeah I’ll do it yesterday

[Spoken ramble]

about

Foxhall Stacks Washington, D.C.

Guitarist Jim Spellman (Velocity Girl, High Back Chairs) assembled these DC veterans in late 2015. Bassist Brian Baker is a legit punk godfather, with close to 40 years on bass and guitar for Minor Threat, Dag Nasty, and Bad Religion. Pete Moffett drummed for Government Issue and Wool before joining singer/guitarist Bill Barbot (Jawbox) in Burning Airlines. Decent pedigree, this lot. ... more

My only complaint is there are too many great tracks. Too hard to pick just 1 favorite. wigilo

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
