lyrics

Cool your jets
Hedge your bets
The night is young my child
Said the man on the left to the woman wearing white

Well I’ve been impressed
By your dress and
By your virtue
And by the way you held yourself composed all night

Under duress,
I suggest
An ulterior motive
Surely you can’t be surprised, cause it was written past long

But although I know
How your garden grows
And what you tend to there
By the nightfall you’ll be bringing out your dead

And while they praise you and you wear your blue
Your doubt is true, shakes you at your core
And the sick lay across your floor
But I guess you’re always gonna know better

So cool your jets
I suggest
You better abandon
Any last remains of hope which linger in your heart

Maybe it’s good that it seems so impossible
Cause if it was easy would they line up out your door?
Would they be channeling the Metatrons or Michaels?
Would he ever put a Prema Agni in your hand?

Let me bust the walls keeping the light from view
Wipe away the old to make way for the new
Build a statue golden all for you
And cool your jets, cool your jets, cool your jets….

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
