The kitchen light, one last time.
The family meal is made for one tonight, without the fights.
Long winded.
After all was made and tried,
the kids have taken and left the worst behind: the bitter rind.
Short temper. Long sight.
Quiet table, dim light.
Forty thousand to blow tonight.
Up our stats, ranks, likes
handpicked from the rarest vine.
I’ll take it sir and make it all mine.
Top shelf, a ninety-nine.
Bill paid feeling fine.
(Once I get right)
Something ain’t quite right.
Shuttered windows, no lights.
What’s that I see approaching me?
A dark shape with a sharp knife.
Probably just a trick of light.
Come back some other time
to show the customer’s always right
(I’ll make. I’ll fight.)
Short temper. Long sight.

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
The songs on the latest from Worriers hurtle forward breathlessly, with hook after hook topped by scorching vocal melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 16, 2023
