lyrics
WINDOW
I stand at my window
watch the world pass me by
Wringing hands, looking down
wondering if I should try
But I sit biding my time
Watch the clock, waiting in time
...every day
When I was a kid
I thought that I could walk through walls
On the bus, or on my bike
Miles and miles on foot I'd hike
I'd count my blisters with pride
But now, the cage walls come down
In the shadows, dangers lurk
Where did my freedom go, my naivete?
What good has wisdom brought me?
To jump at shadows...Or stare them down?
I look into the shadows
and the shadows look right back
We look into each other's eyes
Sometimes I'm paralyzed,
my eyes are open wide
to see things I'd never want to see
What good has this done me?
I stand at my window
watch the world pass me by
Wringing hands, looking down
wondering if I should try
But I sit biding my time
Watch the clock, waiting in time
...every day
When I was a kid
I thought that I could walk through walls
On the bus, or on my bike
Miles and miles on foot I'd hike
I'd count my blisters with pride
But now, the cage walls come down
In the shadows, dangers lurk
Where did my freedom go, my naivete?
What good has wisdom brought me?
To jump at shadows...Or stare them down?
I look into the shadows
and the shadows look right back
We look into each other's eyes
Sometimes I'm paralyzed,
my eyes are open wide
to see things I'd never want to see
What good has this done me?

more raw version of All Dogs in my opinion. I think this album is the one to buy if you had to choose between All Dog albums.

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!!

Guitars so jagged you could cut yourself on them and sneering spoken/sung lyrics make “Red Dirt” a post-punk powerhouse.

On their ferocious self-titled debut, the Australian punks pit d-beat percussion against gnarled, metallic melodies.

Every single one of these songs are so catchy/memorable/make you feel complex while also simple emotions and on top of all this, sounds fucking great! I love Wrong Side/Smile When They Come to Take You Away/Never Gonna Stop/Back to The Store are my favorites but all these are amazing so give them all a listen!
