DOMESTIC SCENE
Domestic scene
What’s missing here
Leaving just in time
Social climbers at the frontier
But I refuse that climb
I’m leaving just in time
I’m leaving just in time
Leaving just in time
Domestic scene
Do I belong
Seemed like a good idea at one time
But now it’s all wrong
Already declined
I’m leaving just in time
I’m leaving just in time
Leaving just in time
Leaving just in time
I’m leaving just in time
I’m leaving just in time
Leaving just in time

HEAVEN’S ON FIRE
When I look at you
Heaven’s on fire
I wish I didn’t know you better
But it’s pointless
One look at you
And heaven’s on fire
When I look at you
I reach for a piano wire
Fighting to keep it together
But it’s pointless
One look at you
And heaven’s on fire
Heaven’s on fire
It seems like everyone is on your side
We’re outnumbered by those who take no pride
In constantly moving against the tide
Charlatans just out of reach
And out of time
I’m a lot like you
Ugly on the inside
But while I dive into the gritty
You just stand by
One look at you
And heaven’s on fire
Heaven’s on fire
It seems like everyone is on your side
We’re outnumbered by those who take no pride
In constantly moving against the tide
Charlatans out of reach
And out of time
Charlatans just out of reach
And out of time

THIS TIME AROUND
You’re young like tonight
And to be young is to be right
You never had to prove your loyalty
But you want to know
When I am off my hunger strike
You were always treated like royalty
You say it’s not a song
That will prove them wrong
This time around
You feel old like the fight
Learning new ways to be right
And how to cope with disloyalty
It’s not a song
That will prove them wrong
This time around
All the things we hoped for
They’re gone
They’ve sailed across the sea
And all the things we tried for
They’re gone
They’re gone
This time around
You’re young like tonight
And to be young is to be right
You never had to prove your loyalty
But we dreamt of a war
On that night
And in that car
We made a promise
Do you recall?
It’s not a song
That will prove them wrong
This time around
All the things we hoped for
They’re gone
They’ve sailed across the sea
And all the things we tried for
They’re gone
They’re gone
This time around
This time around
This time around
This time around

NEVER FOLLOW SUIT
I want to
You knew that I would want to
It makes me feel bad
But I’ve been waiting for a long
A long time
I want to
Yes I wanted to
Long before you
I want to, now
I’ve been waiting for a long, long time
I want to
I always wanted to belong to
The freak scene
Or anyone who set their mind to
Never follow suit again
Because they have to
I want to, now
I always wanted to belong
Belong to
You want to
You said you didn’t want to
It makes me feel bad
But I could never bring you
You want to
You wanted to
But never dared too
You want to, now
But I’ve been waiting for a long
A long, long time
We’ll never follow suit
We’ll never follow suit
We’ll always stay off route

A TOKEN OF GRATITUDE
Please except this
As a token
Of my sincere gratitude
I’m not joking
There’s the singing
The provoking
And all the promises made
That were broken
Do I love you?
Yes I love you
But easy come, easy go
Don’t let me down

THE VIDEO DEPT.
I have kept your diary on tape
I’ve covered every angle of your face
From ear to ear
And then you’d smile
And disappear for a while
Take me when you go out again
I want to buy some stuff from your friend
It’s good to know we both still care
And that we have this to share

MEMORY LOSS
It’s a trap
Someone’s waiting in the tall grass
It’s a trap
And no one around for miles
But you’re all smiles
This disease
I find everything pursuing
I forget that I hate so many things
Like techno clubs
I prefer the queuing
If I curse
If I should accuse you
Please tell me that I’m wrong
If I’m worse
I’m just scared to lose you
I’ve wanted this too long
Can you please
Tell me what I’m doing
I don’t know
Swear I haven’t got a clue
It’s all new
If I curse
If I should accuse you
Please tell me that I’m wrong
If I’m worse
I’m just scared to lose you
I’ve wanted this too long

DAVID
Asleep for twenty years
With this feeling
But I was on your side
And he spent some twenty years
With this feeling
Of being lost inside
He was lost inside of his mind
Just like we’ve been
On and off
For all our lives
All our lives
Oh David won’t you look into my...
He turned to many heads
For one lifetime
He never had to try
And he stained too many beds
For one lifetime
But always asking why
Always asking why
Why
Just like I’ve been doing up until tonight
Why
Just like I’ve been doing David
All my life
All my life
Oh David won’t you look into my...
Oh David won’t you look into my eyes
Oh David won’t you look into my eyes
Oh David won’t you look into my eyes

You Stopped Making Sense

YOU STOPPED MAKING SENSE
You stopped making sense
You stopped making sense
You forgot about your friends
I want to come closer
I want to come closer
I want to come closer
That’s all I want
Since you let god in
You believe in sin
But of course there’s no such thing
Just like there’s no santa
No equality before the law
No people without flaws
You forgot all about us
And for what cause?
You believe the lie
Saying you won’t die
I know you’re scared
But so am I
That’s why I can’t lose you
Whatever they told you
I’m dying to hold you
Don’t let them blindfold you
Don’t say goodbye

everything is alive

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way).
