I'd run across the world to be right there with you
Sitting on your island in the sun
We could go our separate ways
And just be back there in a day
Kings and queens aren't rich enough to come
Kings and queens aren't rich enough to come
In the morning on a bright and shining, sunny day
Going to the country for a while
From a single shaft of light
I can see it in your eyes
There's a way to live a good and happy life
There's a way to live a good and happy life
No, kindness didn't kill em when they're laying on the shore
Begging for their lives forever more
And if you thought that time could break you down
For that you can be sure
But love can fight the battles of the war
Love can fight the battles of the war
So, you see the single truth can be right there for you
High atop a mountain in the Fall
Like the crunching at your feet
And the people that you meet
A single finger's push can break the wall
A single finger's push can break the wall
It's a simple mind that just can't simply speak for you
Avoiding what simply isn't wrong
And a clashing of the minds
And the things you left behind
The loss of one holds meaning for the sum
The loss of one holds meaning for the sum
No, kindness didn't kill em when they're laying on the shore
Begging for their lives forever more
And if you thought that time could break you down
For that you can be sure
But love can fight the battles of the war
Love can fight the battles of the war
I ran across the world to be right there with you
Sitting on your island in the sun
We can stay away for days
And never go our separate ways
Kings and queens still can't afford to come
Kings and queens still can't afford to come
Dark but designed to move you, this Dallas group uses menacing synths and popping live drum to make heavily rhythmic post-punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 13, 2019
Boston post-punk outfit Junk Ranchers broke up in 1986 before this, their debut album, was released; darkly melodic, it's a long-lost gem. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 22, 2020
