lyrics

i miss all my friends at the temple bar
the ones who walked just half a block
and the ones who traveled far

a family like a lost and found
blessed by niles canyon
and the water from the ground

charlie was from tracy
and he made all his money on pool
hiding out from the children of god,
he’d run out the clock on school

but one summer he just disappeared,
and i heard that he’d driven up north
sometimes you never see someone again
but you know just what they’re looking for

andy was a scholar of capital
paranoid but justified,
slept in a sailboat hull

showed up late one night in a dressing gown
called us all his jailers,
and the country a company town

and you’ll all crack up too, he said
it’s all just a matter of time
last I heard he was a forester
and he’d shut up all the demons in his mind

roxy was a painter and my first love
not that she’d admit as much,
sighing like a mourning dove

last i heard, she’d made it in monterey
selling beachfront properties,
flying in a private plane

arthur hasn’t left at all
but i rarely ever see him around
i might catch a glimpse at the grocery store
or picking up some dinner in town

the one time i caught a look straight in his eyes
there was no recognition at all
like two old fish in an aquarium
seeing their reflections in the wall

i miss all my friends at the temple Bar
the ones who never moved away
and the ones who traveled far

a family like a lost and found
then the angels took it over,
and it burned right to the ground

Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too. Lu
