Spin Cycle
 
It’s been a long time since you washed your clothes. The pile of laundry in your bedroom creeps further towards you every time you hurl another sweat-filled sock at it. Two, three weeks now? Excuses keep flowing. 
 
‘I don’t have time.’ 
‘Fabric softener is too expensive.’  
‘Those pants can be reused.’
 
You shouldn’t reuse pants. You know you shouldn’t reuse pants. 
 
A month of non-washing passes and it becomes too much. Some of your family aren’t talking to you anymore. Your partner’s eyes are starting to wander. Even your milkman has shunned you. 
 
You do the right thing - book a half-day off work - and do some laundry. 
 
Click goes the door of the washing machine and it’s off. You stand back, impressed with yourself. 
 
Round and round and round, it goes. 
 
Slowly at first, a warm feeling of bliss starts to grow and envelope the soul. 
 
Round and round and round, it goes. 
 
Gone is the nausea! Ridden are you of the guilt, the embarrassment, the social pariah-status! 
 
Round and round and round, it goes. 
 
HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH!
 
Round and round and round, it goes.

Bag Of Cans - Spin Cycle

Are you looking for this
Or maybe looking for someone that you’re going to miss 
Late at night in the summer 
Cross eyed kids caught in the lens of someone’s camera
How many times have me met
How many lines are running parallel and never connect 
You spend your life with a stranger 
In another they’ve driven their car into the water 

Believe me, believe in something better than this
Or should we try to put it all back together again
You’re leaving 
What’s leaving but another way to be missed
Or should we try to put the pieces back together again

Someone give me a hit
I need something that will get me out of this quick 
Turned my head just to see you
A Quick kiss a in the hallway by the bedroom 
Everything that we lost 
The clothes we keep out of the suitcase we pack in the dark
I cannot get rid of feeling 
That the beginning will one day meet up with the ending 

Believe me, believe in something better than this
Or should we try to put it all back together again
You’re leaving
What’s leaving but another way to forget
Or should we try to put the pieces back together again

And the cities we lived in 
may turn out just to be places that used to exist 
Before any of this 
Before your idiot kiss
Your future past and present tense

Believe me, Believe in something better than this
Or should we try to put it all back together again
You’re leaving 
What’s leaving but another way to forgive
Or should we try to put the pieces back together again

"The Science of Sleep" is the first of a small collection of songs that have been dormant on a hard drive for some time. It started out as a quiet instrumental that was never finished, but never quite forgotten either. Something was missing, something didn't feel right yet. Then we asked our friend Justine Salvadori to sing the vocals, and suddenly everything made sense.

An EP with three songs featuring Justine will be released this winter.

Lyrics

Maybe you’re just getting older,
feels like the world’s growing colder, oh oh. 
You stay in your own echo chamber, 
whatever makes you feel safer, oh oh oh.

But when the walls start closing around you 
there’s no more quiet corners to run to.
Twisted words and pointed fingers surround you 
threatening to tear up everything in two.

But don’t look away, 
don’t look away, 
don’t look away.

Nothing looks like it used to,
all the disguises were cut loose, oh oh. 
Everything that you understood
has been pulled out from under you, oh oh oh.

But when the walls start closing around you 
there’s no more quiet corners to run to.
Twisted words and pointed fingers surround you 
threatening to tear up everything in two.

Don’t look away, 
don’t look away, 
don’t look away, 
don’t look away.
