lyrics
Kinda broke at the seams
Kinda weak at the knees
I’m kinda frayed at the edges if you know what I mean
And you can’t outrun the prodigal son
With your laces tied together
And your path ain’t your own, oh no
Hope you sleep at night
Sweet dreams, tossin’ turnin’ in that lonely bed that you made yourself
And you tucked it in
And I bet god tastes nice
But does he have my tongue?
And can he rock you the ninety two million miles to the sun
Can he bring you back and win you over
Can he make you his own?
I’m sure, I’m sure you think you’re better than me
But I got all your money
I live in your home
I’m driving your car
And I own your fucking soul
I own your soul but I don’t know you
In a boat without an oar
In a rain that just keeps pouring
Are these songs or are they stories about you?

Recorded in many untreated rooms on the ancestral lands of the Wurundjeri & Boonwurrung people. Sovereignty was never ceded and the truth never told. The Knees Band operates on stolen land and we pay our respects to the traditional and current custodians of country. This always was, is, and always will be Aboriginal land.
A new one from the cavernous discography of John Dwyer & co. Really cool sounds. Definitely read the story behind its inception. JPD is a huge influence in his many forms. Fantastic musicianship. The Shaky Knees Band
A searing take on the summer of 2019/20. Dougal Shaw takes aim at some of a long list of blunders from Australia's Neoliberal LNP Government. Check out the rest of this band's stuff- they're hot. The Shaky Knees Band
The longtime Chicago psych-funk outfit offers up five colorful barnburners with all the tension and energy of the current political moment. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 13, 2017
The Besnard Lakes return with their first new LP in four years, full of the same mystery and wonder on which they have built their name. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 30, 2020
