Mini-Recital: The Shins

    The Shins, originalmente James Mercer, Dave Hernandez, Eric Johnson, Joe Plummer y Ron Lewis, una gran banda de indie rock formada en Albuquerque, New Mexico y que luego hizo base en Portland, Oregon.
   Con tres albums: Oh, Inverted World (2001), Chutes To Narrow (2003) y Wincing The Night Away (2007) y otro prometido para el 2012, además de un album del 2010 Broken Bells, colaboración de James Mercer con Danger Mouse (para mí de lo mejor del año pasado).


ZOOCK!!: "...And if you'd took to me like a gull takes to the wind..."


THE SHINS
Gone For Good (A Call For Apathy)
Untie me, I've said no vows
The train is getting way too loud
I gotta leave here my girl
Get on with my lonely life

Just leave the ring on the rail
For the wheels to nullify

Until this turn in my head
I let you stay and you paid no rent
I spent twelve long months on the lam

That's enough sitting on the fence
For the fear of breaking dams

I find a fatal flaw
In the logic of love
And go out of my head

You love a sinking stone
That'll never elope
So get used to the lonesome
Girl, you must atone some
Don't leave me no phone number there

It took me all of a year
To put the poison pill to your ear
But now I stand on honest ground, on honest ground

You want to fight for this love
But honey you cannot wrestle a dove
So baby it's clear

You want to jump and dance
But you sat on your hands
And lost your only chance

Go back to your hometown
Get your feet on the ground
And stop floating around

I find a fatal flaw
In the logic of love
And go out of my head

You love a sinking stone
That'll never elope
So get used to the lonesome
Girl, you must atone some
Don't leave me no phone number there
