lyrics

You say you can't dance, but you can throw your bones
And you've got two left feet for running circles around yourself
We spend Friday nights in caves underground
Getting drunk and trying to breathe mouth to mouth

We go down, down, down
We go down
It gets dark as hell, but the lights never fade right out.
We go round, round, round
Round
The spinning never stops, but we never turn inside out.

You say you can't fight, but you can throw a punch
And splitting lips is just another way of giving blood
We spend our Saturdays figuring out
If the indent left in our bed is the shape of love

We go down, down, down
We go down
It gets dark as hell, but the lights never fade right out.
We go round, round, round
Round
The spinning never stops, but we never turn inside out.

This is a song for drinking
Tonight I'm toasting you
This is a song for fighting
Here's to fighting in the nude

This is a song for drinking
Tonight I'm toasting you
This is a song for fighting
Here's to fighting in the nude

You say you can't love, but you know how to fuck
And sometimes the next best thing's enough
We spend our lifetimes figuring
The the next best thing leaves an aching in our guts

We go down, down, down
We go down
It gets dark as hell, but the lights never fade right out.
We go round, round, round
Round
The spinning never stops, but we never turn inside out.

about

Jacob de Berker UK

Itchy footed, heart-on-sleeve troubadour originally from the south west of england and now back in the west country after 6 years of living in Amsterdam. My songs are as honest as I can make them and couple my love of lyrics with guitar and banjo

Here's some lovely words about the EP:
