lyrics

Rocket was a pony
‘Round the year of 1980
I was just a wee bit
Oh so deep between the ears
You and I cannot set the clock back
In its city grave
Clearly its father time
Telling me that days are numbered

I’ve been reckoning with the fables of my mind
I’ve been feeling the rushing course of time

Rocket was a pony
Always wore a stiff upper lip when alive
Until his toes turned up in the air in ‘85

I’ve been adding frame to life all this time
Betting on the cloudy math of my mind

Halcyon days in the rearview mirror glow
Always golden as our life will go

Rocket was a pony
Until he wasn’t a pony anymore

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
