lyrics
The heaventree of stars hung with humid nightblue fruit
And the daybreak that we are swirling twirling through the loop
I have rung the bells of heaven I have breathed the battered rose
Touch me soft eyes soft soft hands I'm lonely touch me touch me soon
And I fear those big words that make us so unhappy
And I fear those big words that make us so unhappy
Darkness came and darkness blazed away and I stayed a man in a room
Nothing changed and nothing stayed the same and it all will fade away soon
The sparklelighted cubed horizon nestled in the palms
And the ravens bicker bitter with themselves up on the walls
And one psychopath's in prison and another rules the world
Take me far away take me away back right where I belong
And I've cast every thought away that made me so unhappy
Yeah I've cast every thought away that made me so unhappy
Darkness came and darkness blazed away and I stayed a man in a room
Nothing changed and nothing stayed the same and a cow jumped over the moon

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
For me this is a wonderful break up album. It’s not all sullen because these things in life are always emotionally mixed and the album reflects the mood swings all done without clobbering you over the head or overly forcing the subjects to fit specific places in the listeners consciousness Tommy Dog
Noise pop at its finest from this rambunctious Melbourne group that thrives on louder-than-loud guitars and belted-out vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 4, 2024
It’s hard to choose just one favorite song from this album. I said “Risk It” but Alice Bag’s third solo album is great end-to-end; every song is a fav. My only complaint is that it all goes by too quickly. You’ll tap your feet, and nod your head all through it and too soon you are at the end. I usually just start it over then though :) Jayson Lorenzen
