For Andy
lyrics
Two little boys in rubber boots, climbing down a muddy hillside
Two small boys in parallel with no idea what they would find
The young one’s feet stuck fast in earth, calls to his brother from below
The elder’s cries for help unheard descends to pull his brother, so
Both fall through the whirlpool
And wash up:
Two small boys inside a room with four white walls and scarlet curtains
Two little boys in stereo, the summer dark outside uncertain
Electric light, the pages lit, two faces grinning in the night
Four sleepy eyelids falling closed two dreams from pages shining bright
As both fall through the whirlpool
Andy—you led the way
Andy, you pushed my face in the grass
Andy—you came back for me
Andy, you dove and I fell
Andy—we both had the fever!
Andy—we ran together
Two boys in seawater, bobbing right to left to right
Two boys crisscrossed by wavelengths, the seafloor barely out of sight
The dolphins circle come to see visitors floating from the sky
The boys inhale and hold the breath to see the life that words belie
Then both fall through the whirlpool
And wash up:
Two young men and one small boy picking berries black—September
Two old boys in yellow grass, the muddy hillside still remember
The little one is sleepy so the boys return from whence they came
Though parting ways they’ll join up soon in hopes some things will never change
But all three fall through the whirlpool
Andy—you led the way
Andy, you pushed my face in the grass
Andy—you came back for me
Andy, you dove and I fell
Andy—we both had the fever!
Andy—we raced together

Combining wry, cutting lyrics and whimsical arrangements, the Canadian art-rockers' latest is a tilt-a-whirl of a breakup album. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 14, 2019
