lyrics

what you thought was opportunity went bust,
your dreams crumbled to dust before your eyes.
when they wished you well they meant welcome to hell,
they'll watch you fry, you'll want to die, you'll want to die.

behind your back the cards were staked against you
now you see there's nothing you could do.

they smelled fresh blood and like sharks they circled in.
a shitstorm of teeth and fins, but all were blind.
in the frenzy none could see what they had built,
a bomb on flimsy stilts, their death warrants signed.

behind your back the cards were staked against you
now you see there's nothing you could do.

behind their backs
your blood is boiling black as tar
they know you know who they are.
there's nothing they can do.

in the frenzy none could see what they had built.

"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!
