first to show up and last to leave: that's always been my kinda scene. 1000 in the back and 50 at the door. some guy with the whiskey back offering me an extra flask, saying tender was his lover ever since she woke up and never left. i know it. i can feel it. we're going down before we hit the ground. i know it. i said you can feel it. the night moves like some kinda storm. now we're cleaning up what's left when she said those lakes aren't that great. i haven't been back since i graduated.

nothing about her made any sense.  dripping wet from those munich brew tents. wringing wet from the fountains and those cold roman sunsets. singing and swinging and i know i'll never see her again. i said i'd do just about anything twice, and she said, yeah, why don't you kiss me standing up? i know it. you look like a guy i can lean on.  i know it. i know it. she took 'em all before she hit the ground. i know it. i can feel it. she said the good ones come in pairs now. i know it. i can feel it. i said you can't move the night, but i can help you lie down. she winked before passing out.

i called you out. i saw you by the door stealing all the knives but leaving all the forks. i cooled you down. i thought about the next round, even pulled you off the girl. there's a drifter in this town. what about the gold? i said it’s always something about the west coast. stay clear of the ankle tats and whiskey backs, from the long hairs and the late nights. there’s a half a glass on a santa monica century. i said the record skips when we left the beat. what about the gold? i called you out. i saw you by the door. i’m stealing all the knives but leaving all the forks. i fooled you once. i thought enough to leave. i brought you through the curls. there’s a danger in this town. i spelled it out now. i picked apart the town. so what about the gold? i'm old enough to know.

WHAT ABOUT THE GOLD?

from the self-titled debut LP available 7 October 2014

Recorded, mixed and mastered by Jakob Reichert Nielsen at French Fingers, Copenhagen

All songs by Johansen/Orlovich

she spotted me three deep with two kind of empties, layered and lovely and ready for something. she said what's the worst that could happen if you talked to me? i said we both kinda sat like that. the hunger strike lasted all night. no, no, please. let me finish when you’re soaked right. he never meant to love you but you knew he would. so we started with the doubles and got a little crazy on the treble. why don’t you tell me more about those hippie raver fellows? carl in curls and his recession dance? i said you drink for attention? i was founded in 1847. no, no, please. let me finish when you’re after me. breaking up over distance? that ain’t easy. but it’s soft focus and it’s moving through the night sea. i think we lost it on the kitchen tile. we’re too young and too dumb and maybe a little too much fun. i said we’re too plugged in to make one bit of sense of this midwest kitten. too underwater before you me pulled outta here. i said what about a remix to the remix? you said that’s called the real thing. no, no please. let me finish before you start to feel it. nothing sticks when you're hooked here. no no please. nothing sticks when you’re hooked here. nothing sticks when you're hooked on the side. i said the hostel keys don’t lie. i said the money in the purse makes it all work. we’re coming up tonight.
