lyrics

Friday
At the Boulevard
The drinks they pour like rain
And the folks there know your name
But they don't know you

Pool sharks
Girls with wounded hearts
The whiskey numbs their brains
And the smoke stained window panes
Reflect the sad view

And it all just slips away

Sometimes you wanna walk out in the sun
Sometimes you wanna walk out in the sun
When you're caught up in a race
And it's fate you can't outrun
Blame it on the bullet
Not the gun

Monday
On the morning train
The travelers stumble in
Wearing suits like second skin
Expressions vacant

Deadlines
Working overtime
The wheel, it always turns
Till they're ashes in the urn
With no one to claim them

And they all just fade away

Sometimes you wanna walk out in the sun
Sometimes you wanna walk out in the sun
When you play the cards you're dealt
In a game that's never won
Blame it on the bullet
Not the gun

Sometimes you wanna walk out in the sun
Sometimes you wanna walk out in the sun
Sometimes you wanna walk out in the sun

Blame it on the bullet
Blame it on the bullet
Blame it on the bullet
Not the gun

tiny injuries

Track 1 hooked me out of the gate, and it's an 11-way tie for 2nd-favourite. The lyrics, instrumentation, arrangement, dynamics, performance and production are excellent throughout. Others have used the word "fresh" to describe Tamar's music, and I agree. I'm never sure what will happen next and that's what makes it so exciting! tommcnally
