lyrics
Dead Caulfields, out of my way
Viscountess of the dying day
Top-tier customers, my best customers
Are all the dead flowers, all the rules in my way
Dead Caulfields are live on stage tonight
Their girlfriends are half their age tonight
You're on stage, they're out the door
And they're rolling on the floor now
To turn you on
And turn you off
All the girls and boys of too much noise
Dead Caulfields crawl when I hear your voice
And I'm left with nothing inside
Dead Caulfields, I can hear the things you said
The best amongst us now lies dead
All the chords that keep ringing out in my head
Yeah, but then again, they're not that great
They're not that great
No, they were never that great

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
