lyrics

My canteen is full of candor.
but that’s something I cannot contain
I had fun when you had me once
but your cup is downed and drained

I know I’m a wild young thing
dark horse that no man can tame
I had fun when you let me run
but you couldn’t grasp the reins

you had me once in those thirty months
you had me once in those thirty months

all the weed that you could muster
our conversations so sedate
I had fun when you showed me once
but I miss your sober face

All our fields were fit and fickle
but you took your sickle to make hay
I had fun when you had me once
but you left our fallowed plain

you had me once in those thirty months
you had me once in those thirty months

It came down to you or the fiddle
and I chose wisely I chose fair
There was no room to meet in the middle
so I chose the rosin and horse hair

you had me once in those thirty months
you had me once in those thirty months

It came down to you or the fiddle
and I chose wisely I chose fair
There was no room to meet in the middle
so I chose the rosin and horse hair

Taking inspiration from the likes of Beirut, The Arcade Fire, and Belle and Sebastian, the band weaves fables of revolution, love stories, and cities away from home. Listeners expecting conventional guitar-driven indie-pop will find themselves swept into complex arrangements of trumpets and mandolins instead. ... more
