lyrics
I want to wake up to the girl from surprise
I want to wake up to the girl from surprise
When I learned she'd be missing for weeks
Well, I just followed her down into my sleep
Oh yes, oh my word, what a clue
T-total gold
The dry grass crunching
Under your American Shoes
I want to wake up with your coat in my mouth
I want to wake up smiling your name
Searching my pockets for the number that you wrote
On some cellophane
Oh yes, oh that's so you
With a kiss that slips like colour with a u
After your American Shoes
Getting to hear Emily Haines sing Anthems live is always a treasured memory. This has been my favourite record for 15 years and I can’t wait to see the Toronto anniversary show in December. Much love from a long time fan! devgen92
Effervescent pop without a drop of irony, perfectly geared for fans of the more dance-oriented side of indie music and Tears for Fears. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 2, 2023
Spacious, psych-tinged indie rock from Philly; painting in blurry watercolors (but not without percussive headiness). Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 16, 2016
