lyrics
I don’t know how to tell the captain
But I think that he’s wrong about this one
I don’t know if the bullet holes
Match the shells from the scene of the crime
How quickly he dismissed the footprints
That we found hidden out on the trail
Sometimes it feels like he’s trying to sink us
But we prove him wrong time after time
I know you hear the words
They say behind your back
I notice how you hold your tongue
Instead of biting back
I’m so proud to have you for a partner
I’m so glad to have you by my side
I’m so proud to have you for a partner
'Cause I need you to be here,
By my side, cause you know,
What it’s like
To be on the outside
Staring at a body with your morning coffee
It’s the paperwork that’s jarring
To reduce someone down to a sentence
As if it’s proof that they were alive
So we cope by crafting some puns
Oh, your sideways glance when you’ve got a bad one
Helps me with my way to deal
In the silence of our drive
So why does it hurt to see you leave at the end of the day?
We go to empty homes when really we should say
I’m so proud to have you for a partner
I’m so glad to have you by my side
I’m so proud to have you for a partner
'Cause I need you to be here,
By my side, cause you know,
What it’s like
To be on the outside

Do you like GUITAR!?! If so, you will probably dig this great record. 1/3 abstract patchwork, 1/3 solid songwriting, 1/3 a sick band doing what they do Doug Hoyer
The record so nice, I bought it twice. Just sent one as a gift to a friend.
This record is stunning. Poignant and powerful, sometimes heartbreaking. The artwork is gorgeous too. firecat666
