It was in your basement apartment
With all of its earth and sea
Making love on the carpet
Under the light of the TV
Outside the sour moon minstrels
Shook their dark tambourines
The morning came in sinister
Well window light menacing

With clouds up above and clouds down below
Killing time but it won't stand still
It won't stand still

I told you I'll never make a promise
A promise I can keep
I thanked you for being honest
I told you, don't pull that shit on me
These are the hangover days
Of frosted glass, metallic gleam
All these non-new places
They erase your memory

We try so hard, we try so hard
We try so hard
We try so hard to love
We try so hard to love

It was underneath London bridge
I finally realized what you mean
Meanwhile all of fashion's latest
Were nipping at the heels of history
I tried to send you a postcard
But all you could write were apologies
So out the Columbia hotel window
I threw my heart into the street
With stars up above and stars down below
Killing time but it won't stand still
It won't stand still

We try so hard
We try so hard
We try so hard to love

Maybe it's Shag Carpet.

This makes me feel as if I'm stuck with a couple exchanging intimate memories, which is a bit disconcerting. It's also awfully dull... {#Sleep}

"Making love on the carpet" - I hope it's a wool rug, as nylon carpets can give you b@stard carpet burns that sting. I know.

Really nice duet. Is it just me, or does this sound like a George Harrison song off of Cloud Nine?

Sounds a LOT like "Good to be on the Road Back Home Again" by Cornershop. But not bad...

Posted 16 years ago by mefrombrazil    [ Reply ]
Is that Macey Gray?? Noo...after looking up Jason Collett's website, I found this, "...Emily Haines, the latter lending her inimitable vocals to the road-song duet "Hangover Days." Oooooo, Emily sounds gooooood!!!!

Something special when you live in a city called 'Hannover'.

I can hear that. They're trying so hard, though.

So funny. I could have SWORN that was the inescapable Norah Jones. So inescapable, I've started thinking other people are her. :)

This is why you listen to RP; To hear that catchy tune from an artist you've never heard before... (and then of course use RP's links to go buy it)

If I didn't know any better, I'd think it was Ron Sexsmith and Norah Jones. Fun and enjoyable duet. Say hi to "Ralph" for me too on that big white telephone.

I'm diggin' on this - Emily is the lead singer of Metric. I like her voice, sounds like a cross between Jenny Lewis and maybe... Loretta Lynn? Nice combo.
