lyrics

I'd show you around
But I'm just too square
There's something funny going on
I can feel it in the air

All the faces we ran from
Well they look afraid
And I don't feel like picking up
The mess that they made

We got 'em
Backed down and out on the run
They were
Too tight and came undone
I got
Hands of sound and feet of speed
Come on darling
Dance with me tonight

I know it took a while
But I think we're on the mend
We're young and strong
They can't hold us back my friend

We got 'em
Backed down and out on the run
They were
Too tight and came undone
I got
Hands of sound and feet of speed
Come on darling dance with me tonight

We stayed up all night
Waiting for the world to be ours
I fall asleep at dawn
I'm out for fourteen hours

Backed down and out on the run
They were
Too tight and came undone
I got
Hands of sound and feet of speed
Come on darling dance with me tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight

about

Jon Cuthbert Montreal, Québec

From his Montreal basement, Cuthbert is releasing an Extended Play record and a handful of singles in 2017. The music is at times reminiscent of Oasis, Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters, The Killers, and The Black Keys, and at others calls to mind Ryan Adams, Joel Plaskett, Elliot Smith, and the softer offerings of U2 or Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. ... more
