lyrics

They were partners in crime/ when the wife admits/ that her son had been taking what the neighbors have missed/ there’s a law in the city/ and it’s clear as a nail/ you don’t blame who you have/ you just take who you steal/ but nobody told him that “it’s up to you deciding/ you’re getting the lock/ or giving it”/ his family moans in disapproval/ it’s damaging but not threatening/ The partners in crime/ were ahead at the finish/ the P.I. started detecting where the family had lived/ and his jaw started to squeak/ and the kid started to spill/ he attached to the manila/ that he had hired them all/ The lieutenant underestimated his need for notoriety/ He spilled when they told him it was “up to you deciding, you’re getting the lock or giving it” his family moaned..

Perfection basically - beauty, power, nuance, melody, and emotions infringing on violent yet somehow nearing kindness - ep/extra tracks are as good as anything the band has done. stonedgossardvt

Just saw them performing much of this album on their west coast tour. San Diego and Pioneertown dates. Didn’t know any of them lol. I’m all about their old shit but I like this. Playing it more and more. Appreciate the evolution of one of my favorite bands in the world since middle school! 🖤 Red
