about
One of us has always wanted to have a trumpet on our tracks. This song made that a reality.
lyrics
LYRICS
Less than a fact but more than a guess
Her lips saying no but her eyes saying yes
The penultimate act in the last pantomime
I lived my nine lives now I’m just killing time
No quite a yes, but more than a no
Her eyes saying stay, but her lips saying go
I have to plead guilty of thought, word and deed
The memories congeal as the truth starts to bleed
Guilty by association
Inappropriate elation
Unconventional flirtation
And in a crowded works canteen
The moment largely goes unseen
The bishop quietly takes the queen
The cat has finally got his cream
And in a no-names asked motel
Some people buy, some people sell
Some people kiss, some people tell
The witches cast their evil spell
And who was Mona Lisa smiling at
Who could she see, what did she know
Did she smile first, did they smile back
What did they say, where did they go?
The flames are still rising, the mist now descends
The angels are leaving, my demon returns
Some will be lost, but some shall be saved
Would you throw the first stone, would you hammer the nails?
And in an all-night coffee bar
the lights are dim, the door ajar
Behind the smoke from your cigar
lest we remember who we are
And in a backstreet cheap saloon
Two strangers nod good afternoon
The moment’s over all too soon
An aborted honeymoon
And in a black and white cartoon
Silhouetted by the moon
The piper plays his lonely tune

Check out our good friend Lily's EP for when you're not sure what you want to listen to, coz it has a habit of hitting the spot in unexpected and strange ways. The Kelly Line
Ducking Punches make some of the best new punk music coming out of the UK right now. Their older stuff is a bit more the vibe we try to play (VIVA LA ACOUSTIC GUITAR), but Alamort is just so good. The Kelly Line
Michelle Zauner is one of the most consitently creative people out there. She used to play in indie-rock band Little Big League, but now makes insanely eclectic music under Japanese Breakfast. The Kelly Line
Alec Bowman perfectly captures the dark soil under the pastoral world of British folk with this collection of melancholy originals. Bandcamp New & Notable May 12, 2020
