lyrics

Oh my, oh my, open-heart surgery
Oh my, oh my, double bypass
Don't lie, it's not fine, she's spilling her guts on the pavement
She's bleeding her last as the transfer-trucks pass

Oh, how I learned to read the hues of your humours
Black bile and yellow, red the blood and your blue tears
Now every knock is a heart attack
A dense clot and your last battle
Each sign is a symptom and that shake was your death rattle so

No no no, is it the rack or the pinion?
Yeah yeah yeah is she strictly aligned?
The orange lights on the ambulance swirl in time with the hazards
Please get better

Oh my, oh my, open-heart surgery
Oh my, oh my, double bypass
Don't lie, it's not fine, she's spilling her guts on the pavement
She's bleeding her last as the transfer-trucks pass

Strapped to the gurney, off to the ER we go
With a viscous IV and me muttering "no no no"
The prognosis is pulmonary
And my pulse is a mayday cry
But we have the technology, and besides
I'm too proud to say goodbye so

No no no, I want a second opinion
Yeah yeah yeah, I did everything right
The orange light on the dash is a flatline
Back in the saddle, charge up the paddles and clear

Oh my, oh my, bring back the biopsy
Oh my, oh my, spinal transplant
Don't lie, it's not fine, but I've got spare parts in the basement
And money to burn to make the driveshaft turn

Oh my, oh my, open-heart surgery
Oh my, oh my, double bypass
Don't lie, it's not fine, she's spilling her guts on the pavement
And pistons ablaze, she stops and stays
As the transfer-trucks pass
It's a waste of gas

about

Alright Already Halifax, Nova Scotia

Literary, angular 12-string electric anthems which seek to agitate rather than soothe. Midwest emo guitar and pop-punk rhythm, too complicated for punk but too simple for prog. Dylan Mombourquette and AJ Boutilier provide the critical backbone for Sean MacGillivray's rhythmic compositions. "Essays for Anthems" arrives September 1st 2023 and features guest vocalists from across the spectrum. ... more
