lyrics

Back in the summer of ‘69
we were twinkles in a caveman’s eyes
That’s what I can’t believe
I really can’t believe

They built some pyramids and made some art
They had some wars and then they took 'em apart
That’s what I can’t believe
I really can’t believe

They wrote some books and then they sang some songs
They built some cities, things were moving along
I really can’t believe
I simply can’t believe

Summer of ‘69 was far from the best
I think it’s probably ‘cause we didn’t exist
That’s what I can’t believe
That’s what I can’t believe

Hey

And now I’m chilling out with nothing to fear
Summer of '69, you’re killing me here
That’s what I can’t believe
We really can’t believe

Cause I know that I have to die
but can it be 2069?
That’s what I can’t believe

In the future when I’m getting old,
it’s getting darker and it’s freezing cold
and I still can’t believe
I c-c-can’t believe

I know I don't get a say,
but let the record show anyway:
That if I have to die, (and we all have to die),
I wanna die in the summertime

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer

S/T
by TK Echo

Singer/guitarist Chris Richards used to play in the post-hardcore band Q and Not U. TK Echo's inspirations go further back, towards XTC and Elvis Costello circa 1979. The band has a great sense of rhythm and melody, with spiky rhythm guitar and deliberately cheap-soundng organ and synthesizer. "Era" gets angrier and closer to punk rock. steevee300
