lyrics

Sally looks up from her deck of cards
Draws a heart
Puffs on a cigarette

Roger stands up from where he’s lying
A curtain blows in the warm rain

Lovers on the run
Way down in Cuba
With the cobwebs and communists

And they say, “Life’s not long”
So you might as well live sometimes
But then they say, “Life’s long”
So you're getting good at killing time

50’s Chevrolet
Speeding down the speedway
Under palm trees
and the smell of turpentine

Bottle of rum
and a cut on your thumb
and a far away look in your eye

Lovers on the run
Way down in Cuba
Drinking with the ghosts of Hemingway

And they say, “Life’s not long”
So you might as well live sometimes
But then they say, ”Life’s long”
So you're getting good at killing time

They say, “Life’s not long”
So you might as well live sometimes
But then they say, “Life’s long”
So you're getting good at killing time

You’re getting good at killing time

everything is alive
by Slowdive

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 Daniel Welsch

Intimate and unique. This album plays well with a bottle of Syrah crunched up in your finest pair of headphones with candles lit in a steamy bubble bath. sig
