about

"True I ride the finest horse
Watch its green eyes shine
Both for love and intercourse
Be my Valentine..."

"Roses are red
Violets are blue
I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to..."

From the hidden places of our first release, we unearthed this love song heavily re-arranged into swinging mayhem to congratulate you on Valentine's Day!

lyrics

True, you ride the finest horse
I have ever seen,
Standing sixteen, one or two,
With eyes wide and green,
And you ride your horse so well,
Hands light to the touch,
I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to.

Ride on, see you,
I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to.

Are you ride into the night
Without a trace behind,
Run your claw along my gut, one last time.
I turn to face an empty space
Where you used to lie,
And look for a spark to light the night
Through a teardrop in my eye.

Ride on, see you,
I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to.
