Black lungs, headlights, heading off to the city tonight
Out the front door, turn right, I was alone, alright alright alright
I wonder what they'll think of me. I'll run away, run away
This is my town, this is my night, heading off to the city tonight
And she said, "Come on, out with it. Come on, out with it."Hard words on a hot night
"I'll have a beer, won't you turn out the light?"
From the front door I could hear it right
I'm just running dumb and dumb and dumb and dumb
I wonder if I'll be turning back
I got twenty bucks in a pocket with my stash
I'm not afraid. I'm not your "good night"
I'm just a shadow of a shadow tonight
And she said, "Come on, out with it. Come on, out with it."

Come on out

And the night shadows watching
The darkness approaching
You came for a life in the park
So you stand on the stage at such a young age
As you're feeling around in the dark
And your mother, she's calling
You feel your hopes falling
There's nowhere to run to tonight
Just his fist on your face now
You hope to replace how the emptiness fills you inside

Break
My
Fall

Break
My
Fall

Break
My
Fall

Come on, out with it.

What's with their lame kids background choir in every other song? Getting pretentious.
LOL I just saw I made a similar comment already. Good to have another then.

Their songs could be pretty good, if not for the annoying high school choir that's usually shouting out somewhere in between.

Solid 8 here...the chair, it is a dancin'.... 


It's more like a cross between The National and New Order.  I'm a fan.

Their name (2006) makes me think they're some sort of prophets.

Yeah, similar, especially with the deep, baritone voice, but this guy seems to sing a little more melodically than that guy from The National.

Mikel Jolett was the subject of a BBC World Service prog recently, talking about his seriously weird and damaging childhood in the Synanon cult. I gained real respect for him and his work after listening to that. 




I listened to him read the Audio Book. Just chilling and explains so much of his music.

Honestly, the way he sings this part made me tear up the first time I really listened to it, just makes me think of some friends who died from alcoholism:

You hope to replace how the emptiness fills you inside Break My Fall

I absolutely adore this song. It has a hopeful quality that says "we will get through this."

Having KT Tunstall's "Other Side of the World" lead into this track makes for a great 1-2 punch!

Thanks for the great playlist work, RP!

I cannot suggest strongly enough that you should read his book Hollywood Park. Really. Read the book.

First thing I thought.  Vocalist doesn't have as deep a voice though.

Nice to hear some new stuff from them - I'm optimistic on first listen. And as someone else said it swerves over The National  line a bit more than I'd prefer...

Yeah, it sounded familiar but I couldn’t place it in time. I like their song “Sometime Around Midnight” but still couldn’t immediately tell who it was or even which decade.

I couldn't figure out why he wants her to break his phone. Maybe he has some unfortunate pictures on it?
