well i forgot the missing necklace
when i was crazed to be part of your club.
emblems, searching restless,
a bookshelf kind of love.
between opposing sections,
philosophy and god,
you almost pulled my hair out
you almost had me gone.
and i'm damned if i live with you
stuck out in the hills
and that mad guy he would kill me
if the law said he could kill
and i picture you i promise
meeting me half way
where i don't need all this freedom
you don't have to work all day
if i believe that my darling
then it won't be the hardest thing
to have you breeze beneath my window
and come back to me in
we spent the year beneath him
i came out to keep on living a lie
and i feel like i did try babe
i feel like i did try
but rage can trample the beauty
and the guilt made it dirty and mean
til the woman in the mirror was
the biggest fuck up that i'd ever seen
and i'm fucked if i live with you...
if i forgive all the months of hiding
could you forgive my desire to escape.
and can we stop ourselves backsliding
into his fucked up world of hate.
and it doesn't mean that i don't love you
when i let my words to you sting
come on now
breeze beneath my window
and come back to me in

In a more perfect world, this band would blaring out of every radio on Earth. The lyrics, the vocals, the just-outta-teens snark and earnestness... so much to love. paulimboden

Knowledge of what makes a great indie/alt-rock song tick? Check. Sharp lyrics that run from angry to tender? Check. Fabulously enjoyable? And then some. This debut proves SF arrived fully formed and Turtle Taxi built on that. Two absolute gems. Given the time that's passed, I sincerely hope they're not done, but if so, my undying gratitude. It'slove
