Recorded at the Saint Clair Ave apartment, Saint Paul MN on December 13 & 14, 2011
lyrics
I was into your friend,
But I didn't know that then
I was a fixture
And she wasn't sure of me,
Not too much, 'til later
When he wasn't down
Don't over think it,
The fuse is burning down
It was an animated autumn
Calling us home
Parked on the side of the road
It was so hard to wait
Cause it was slowly and gold
Walking alone
Down at Cartoon Creek
And we weren't just visiting there
We were looking to be
We were starting to see
We were shocked, being one of a three
But nobody noticed then,
Shockingly, 'til later
When she's not around
(It's the perfect day to do something stupid)
What's that in the distance?
A disappearing cloud
It was an animated autumn
Spinning us home
Drunk on the side of the road
It wasn't hard to say
Cause it was all in the tone
Walking alone
Down at Cartoon Creek
We were down at Cartoon Creek
(What you doing to me?
We were shocked into being
What you're looking at me
What you doing to me?
We were looking to be)
And we weren't just visiting
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
