lyrics
How can I get you alone?
I’ve got something on my mind all the time
and it keeps me up at night, running circles in my brain
There is a certain flaw in the circuits of the mind,
yours and mine, and it gets me all uptight
Little burdens echoing the things you can’t forget
The pain and the pleasure, for worse or for better
Despite your deepest conviction it’s the Human Condition
There is a struggle to life if you never compromise
and get yourself together
We’re wired to take what we want
and we hate when we can’t
and nobody is safe
This is my mother, my father, my son and my daughter
This is my wife and my worst enemy
This is a thirst without water, a coin from the coffer
This is that thing that you saw on TV
It pushes and pulls you
The pain and the pleasure, for worse or for better
It’s such a strange disposition, the Human Condition
And everything you want is half of what you need
And everything I think is right is hard to believe right now
But I will try a little harder
The pain and the pleasure, for worse or for better
Despite your deepest conviction it’s the Human Condition
But we’re all in a hurry in this sound and this fury
We all let go of intuition, it’s the Human Condition
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
