lyrics

it's not my fault that you're life sucks
tied so tightly to the ground.
trying hard to reach for help
but no one ever sticks around.

it's not my fault your hands can't keep a grip
on those rungs you've been clinging to
but when you slip you won't fall far
it's not my fault, that i won't let you.

but when we cling together tight
repeating everything's alright
it's hard for me to think it could be true.
though i should've been long gone
how do you leave someone
when everything that they have left is you?

it's not my fault that you're messed up
deluding yourself into an early grave.
and the help you never asked for never came.
it's not my fault that you can't be saved.

"The Door Opened; You Got In"
by Pewter Cub

one word: atmosphere. after hearing these songs live and digging the feel of the "demo" versions it's nice to hear it all in a cohesive package. somewhere between the raveonettes and charletons UK. wctm gold!

George Washington's Teeth
by The Oscillating Fan Club

chock full of fun rock rumpus' equal parts 13th floor elevators and ventures; weird, charming and just a bit obtuse. glad to hear the songs sound just as good recorded as they translate live. wctm gold!
