From their 2009 album "Vapours".

The lyrics from what I can decipher:

I took a shining to you
I wasn't lying to you
what are you trying to do
and who are you crying to

You have some singing to do
some singing for your food
i have something for you
come into my room.

It's back alley I know
but you're made of gold
just to brighten daylight
step into the dark of dawn/depart

up against the wall
empty out of all your content
don't hold back friend
give me what you owe me then/damn
count to 100 slowly

I put a shining on you
poison pill in your food
singing la la la what's that tune
bad timing for you
1, 2, 3, 4 strikes on you
you put your back to my knife
made me ask your money or your life

up against the wall
empty out all of your content
don't hold back friend
give me what you owe me then
count to 100 slowly

  • I think it is:

    "just to brighten daylight

    step into the dark depart"

    Anyway...just great

  • Thanks! Yeah, so far I'm not too sure about some of these lyrics but this is such an awesome song!

  • To bad almost none of the people in the picture are still in the band

  • yeah, sorry about that. i probably could have found a more recent pic but not very many of them are high-resolution

  • No worries. A fan of Dostoevsky is a friend of mine. Can't wait for them to release of video from this album. "On Foreigner" maybe?

  • I'm glad! I also see that you're an Animal Collective fan; with that and Dostoevsky, you have awesome taste! I think Vapours or Tender Torture would make good videos, too. I can't wait either!

see all
