Stars – Midnight Coward
The Stars are a Canadian band that my brother and I both managed to find at the same time via different sources while also recommending it to the other. I guess you probably had to be there. In any case, I’ve been listening to these guys a lot in the past week or so. I feel like they come straight out of a thespian group inasmuch as a lot of their songs sound like they come straight out of a musical, but I must confess that I kinda love it.
This song, especially, is pretty amazing and it’s worth a listen. My favorite and most personal line is:
I can’t always trust as much as you deceive.
***
Sweetness, sweetness never suits me
When I get it out to take you home;
Maybe it’s love, love at first slightly drunk
Now I’m walking with the sun in my mouth…
Worry, worry is a web;
Gonna let it fall tonight from where we stand.
What can’t be decided?
In the morning it will bring itself to you
I can’t see what’s coming
But I’m not saying it
Sickness, weakness at the fall
Of how you’re gonna play it
How long should I stay?
Promises, promises never cease to assist it
And now I’m back on my back
Please bite your words
Hurry, hurry to believe
I can’t always trust as much as you deceive
What can’t be decided?
In the morning it will bring itself to you
I can’t see what’s coming
But I’m not saying it
What’s your middle name?
(How do you play the game?)
I’ll be the first to leave.
When did I grow up?
(I don’t want to say too much.)
I’ll be the first to leave.
What can’t be decided?
In the morning it will bring itself to you
What can’t be decided?
Before you enter thinking maybe it will choose
And I can’t see what’s coming,
I can’t see what’s coming,
I can’t see what’s coming,
But I’m not saying it.
