lyrics

You shoot me in the back then you raise your hands
Oh come on.
You laid my love down on the railroad tracks, now she's gone.
You raised my hopes you dashed them back
I'm floating down the river like a cat in a sack
Cupid wont give in until he's broken this old heart once again.

I'm sore
I can't take anymore
When love comes a knocking and a scratching at my door
I want to ignore the pills in the drawer
But I'm soul sick, con tricked, a bad trip
And I don't want to score

You offer me a smoke then you dowse me with kerosene
You poisoned my liver and very near ruptured my spleen
This old jalopy ain't gonna go far
It's heading off the cliff you better find a new car
Cause cupid wont give in until he's broken this old heart once again

It was followed in January 2013 by a 3-track EP, ‘Invisible Cat’, which sees the band’s trademark sound expanded with a little help from their friends on strings, brass and slide guitar.
