lyrics
Flaccid
As I get older, I get bolder, you don’t frighten me!
As I get older, I get bolder, you can’t frighten me!
I’m immortal I’m immune, you can’t threaten me!
It’s so pointless, near misses whistle past my head
All your posing, empty posture I’m pissing on your bed
All this knowledge given freely,
It’s my gift to all...
I’m impervious, I’m not nervous,
Pride before a fall...
Toothless sayer, no game player,
With a pinch of salt,
Your protector, missing vector,
Horse about to bolt
Spit your venom, crush a lemon, rolling on the floor,
Like an angel, like a devil, rotten to the core,
Over zealous, I’m not jealous,
shot before you draw...
Where’s the action? What’s your poison?
What are you waiting for?
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!! smiledozer
Brilliantly unhinged hardcore-inspired songs that splinter expectations to smithereens with their split-second rhythm changes & wild vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 28, 2022
