It's back to the battle today
But I wouldn't have it any other way
'Cause tonight we'll be crazy as kooks
I'm dancing
Grooving
This lovely wooden floor
The tom-toms are beating up
Eyes are so sore
There is still sand in my suitcase
There is still salt in my teeth
I kissed her in the window
She covered up her face
She's pretty as sherry
Someone said, "Man, let's take our time"
So here I am
So here I am
Crashed up a party, nickels and dimes
A handful of strangers, all friends of mine
You know that your married, rings on your hand
So I didn't stay 'til the end
I don't need a Christmas card you don't even write
Last Christmas was black and blue
But this year is white
Everyone's repeats, repeats themselves
So deep in my head
Tonight keep your shirt on
You can leave the way you came
But I wouldn't have it any other way
'Cause tonight we'll be crazy as kooks
I'm dancing
Grooving
This lovely wooden floor
The tom-toms are beating up
Eyes are so sore
There is still sand in my suitcase
There is still salt in my teeth
I kissed her in the window
She covered up her face
She's pretty as sherry
Someone said, "Man, let's take our time"
So here I am
So here I am
Crashed up a party, nickels and dimes
A handful of strangers, all friends of mine
You know that your married, rings on your hand
So I didn't stay 'til the end
I don't need a Christmas card you don't even write
Last Christmas was black and blue
But this year is white
Everyone's repeats, repeats themselves
So deep in my head
Tonight keep your shirt on
You can leave the way you came

Cool, moody song with awesome underwater drums, definitely an amazing opener
Most intriguing line: I crashed up a party, nickels and dimes,
A lot of lines in this song and album have that weathered traveler aesthetic and are just awesome:
There is still sand in my suitcase. There is still salt in my teeth.
Lots and lots more, you know. I love that nickels and dimes line though.
Love the Waltz style bass line. Reminds me a bit of The Stranglers "Golden Brown".
Diggin' this new album for sure!
"Back to the battle today" - what a wonderful line to open the album!
sounds like he reunited with an ex for a night, but he knows there is no future. so he just gets drunk & tries to forget about her, but his heart still aches
so beautiful so goddamn beautiful
