lyrics
Does this mean we're done?
(I think it does)
Wasn't it still fun?
(I thought it was)
Yeah, you seem distracted
(You rolled away)
Quitting me like a habit
You're thinking of that guy you met tonight
The one you lit up for on sight
How many nights 'til he leaves you dry
And you're showing him those
Cold shoulders, your cold, cold shoulders now
Cold shoulders, your cold, cold shoulders
Cold shoulders, another day over
It used to be we couldn't wait
To put the lights out
We used to sleep so naked
The neighbors heard us shaking
But all that's over now
Just say it, I'll move out
I'll be gone in a day, okay?
Alright?
But for tonight, if you're awake
(And I'm still up)
We could use a break
(From this breaking up)
We still have to sleep
(In the same bed)
Though it's not for keeps, just turn around
And look into my eyes
Even if it's momentary, I
Think we have earned a warm respite
From the shadow of your
Cold shoulders, your cold, cold shoulders now
Cold shoulders, your cold, cold shoulders
Cold shoulders, and after it's over
I promise I'll crawl away
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
