lyrics
if you pretended not to hear me, i'm not going away
look at me like I'm zombified, never seen the light of day
the air in here is getting damp, and the lights are getting low
its been a long time coming, but but i guess i should've known
crusted blood on the top of my lip
can't fall alseep at night
i'm not going anywhere
without a fight
if you line 'em up i'll knock 'em down, if it makes you feel alive
somebody here's gonna get it tomorrow from a judge or a .45
and if you look you can see me runnin from the gallows pole
i can't change what I didn't create I'm not always in control
just a classic misconception,
when I come around
say good night to the bad guy
i'd only bring you down
say goodnight
fuse is lit, it's a matter of time, there's one way left to choose
what do I get for my life of crime, just one more chance to lose
so don't you grill me, there's no more luck, and my back's up against a wall
i could scream for hours but theres no one to hear my call
look at me like I'm zombified, never seen the light of day
the air in here is getting damp, and the lights are getting low
its been a long time coming, but but i guess i should've known
crusted blood on the top of my lip
can't fall alseep at night
i'm not going anywhere
without a fight
if you line 'em up i'll knock 'em down, if it makes you feel alive
somebody here's gonna get it tomorrow from a judge or a .45
and if you look you can see me runnin from the gallows pole
i can't change what I didn't create I'm not always in control
just a classic misconception,
when I come around
say good night to the bad guy
i'd only bring you down
say goodnight
fuse is lit, it's a matter of time, there's one way left to choose
what do I get for my life of crime, just one more chance to lose
so don't you grill me, there's no more luck, and my back's up against a wall
i could scream for hours but theres no one to hear my call

Don't believe the name of their latest album; jangle-pop hooks and stacked grunge guitars are two of the Bay Area band's greatest gifts.

It’s hard to make a reunion record feel necessary—but on their first album in 22 years, Hum most certainly have.

I Tried To Fight It But I Was Inside It
by Nervous CurtainsDark but designed to move you, this Dallas group uses menacing synths and popping live drum to make heavily rhythmic post-punk.

Twelve nervy power pop tracks punctuated by hairpin chord changes that arrive like sucker punches.
