Maybe you’ll grow out of it
I can only hope for it
Maybe you’ll grow out of it
Even if it’s just Southern Comfort on the rocks
Or dancing while you’re wasted
Or just a quiet duet with no audience
But music made naked
Discovering someone you’re happy to have met
But you won’t call back ‘cause
All this is only jewels, that aren’t real
What about a weekend lost in Montreal?
In underground malls or
What about a week of breakfast served in bed?
As lazy as you want
There’s gotta be a record that you haven’t heard
Your favorite song’s still out there
You say it’s only jewels, that aren’t real
It’s only jewels
Taped to a crown made of paper mâché
We could pretend that briefcases are normal when
Going to a movie
We could forsake the smaller things to be impressive and consume
We’d never let a moment burn out by ourselves
A silly little fire
You say it’s only jewels, that aren’t real
It’s only jewels
Taped to a crown made of paper mâché
You say you’re never tired but never glad you’re not
Freedom you love like a slave
All your medals shine inside a silver box
The gold ones are on their way
You build it up this streak of love for work in spite of the fun we have
You build it up this streak of love for working in spite of the fun others have
You know you’re a piece of work
When you say it’s only your right
You say it’s only jewels, that aren’t real
It’s only jewels
Taped to a crown made of…

Bouncy, jangly power pop with a slash of acidic shadow, as the very best twee always has. From Boston, they met at band camp (not Bandcamp). Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 2, 2019
Welsh art-rock group HMS Morris make music full of plot twists; explosive, colorful rhythms can turn into shadowy introspection on a dime. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 22, 2020
