lyrics
cheap tragedies
lyrics by Penelope Houston/ music by P. Houston, G. Ingraham, D. O'Brien, J. Wilsey
The doors flew open and the people crowded in
they said, we can't wait for your show to start
and their bodies flew the only way they knew
they're coming straight for the center of my heart
I see your face and I've memorized it
I see your life, I recognize all your petty jealousies
your hidden tragedies, your bitter memories
they'll be the death of you yet, oh
they'll be the death of you yet, oh
now you look down and there's blood on your hands
your frustration went out of control
well, it's your nightmare and it's your life
go on home now, go to bed, go to sleep and dream
you see your face don't you even recognize it?
you see your life you've memorized all those petty jealousies
those hidden tragedies, those bitter memories
they'll be the death of you yet, oh
they'll be the death of you yet, oh
they'll be the death of you yet
you see your face don't you even recognize it?
you see your life you've memorized all those petty jealousies
those hidden tragedies, those bitter memories
they'll be the death of you yet, oh
they'll be the death of you yet, oh
they'll be the death of you yet, oh
they'll be the death of you yet, oh
they'll be the death of you yet

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!!

Dead Cross, Retox, and Qui members dish out subversive hardcore with an indignant smirk; come for the riffs, stay for the synth experiments.
