born in hospital
just like everyone else
grown up on medicine
just like everyone else
held by unknown arms
for too long and
when you rise
i'll arrive, o' i'll arrive
held by your fates
unlike anyone else
you gave more than anyone
unlike anyone else
held by unknown arms
for too long and
when you rise
i'll arrive, o' i'll arrive
born on your side
born on your side
born on your side
born on your side

twinkle of an eye, caught in the shadow
of a furrowed brow, half-hearted smile
a scene from a play, seen from afar
soft on the eyes, hard on the heart
twinkle of an eye, caught in the shadow
of a furrowed brow, half-hearted smile
years upon years, laid end on end
all the myth of the parade
cut from the ice or well-worn stone
worn down to skin and bone
years upon years, laid end on end
all the myth of the parade
"hold your own hands now
bend your back for ours"
all these forms that we fill
for others' eyes or approval
bind us wholly into shape
reflections we can't recognize
twist of the blade, caught in the light
wink of any eye, without spite
accomplices all when we hold
each other in our own eyes
twist of the blade, caught in the light
wink of any eye, without spite
"hold your own hands now
bend your back for ours"
all these forms that we fill
for others' eyes or approval
bind us wholly into shape
reflections we can't recognize

unfunny music for funny people.
If you like Tragic Lovers, you may also like:
supported by 4 fans who also own “Blueblood b/w Glacier”
if a better sapphic break-up record exists, I haven't heard it
go to album
Colossally good New Wave out of Portland, with the nerviness of Kleenex poured into hooky pop songs.
go to album
Scratchy DIY punk from Philadelphia with an impeccable list of inspirations. Think Crass, Flux of Pink Indians, This Heat, and Chronophage.
go to album
Each song on the Portland punk trio's latest album, though spare and minimally produced, bursts with hyperactivity — but it’s a purposeful madness.
go to album
Medium Gnarly
by Swiss Army Wife
Energetic math-rock riffs, gravelly punk vocals, and midwestern emo textures come together in cathartic fashion on the Oregon band's debut.
go to album
Higher and Higher Forever
by Zero Percent APR
Lo-fi indie that recalls the glory days of Shrimper and Shimmy Disc, where rock-solid melodies sit inside rickety instrumentation.
go to album
A fresh take on classic post-punk.
