lyrics
Leave behind a city life,
turn the volume down
You can get your head right
and your feet on the ground
Leave behind a city life,
all the lights and the sound
Find a husband, find a wife,
you can finally settle down
How’d you ever get this far
tellin’ so many lies?
In & out of consciousness
and your bloodshot eyes
You’ve been feeling paralyzed
and your heartbeat is inconsistent
You can’t keep your lips off the wine
when you’re home and you’re in the kitchen
Leave behind a city life,
all the clothes and the earnings
Throw it all in a pile,
light a match and it’s burning
Leave behind a city life,
put your back to the turning
Find a better way to survive,
you could be more discerning
How’d you ever get this far
raisin’ hell every night?
In & out of knowing that
you should treat other people right
You’ve been feelin’ civilized
No, everything is not alright
You give it all up, you throw your hands up,
and you forget who you are
Leave behind a city life, yes you can and you will
You are never satisfied when you can’t pay the bills
Leave behind a city life
On the first new High Llamas record in 6 years, Sean O’Hagan creates abstract tracks that reflect the kaleidoscopic palette of modern pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 13, 2024
Bouncy, jangly power pop with a slash of acidic shadow, as the very best twee always has. From Boston, they met at band camp (not Bandcamp). Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 2, 2019
